SAS Rescue & Taking Back South Georgia | Mick Eivers
Michael Eivers is a veteran of the Royal Navy and served aboard the HMS Antrim during the Falklands conflict. Mick’s detailed account goes into the rescue of SAS troopers during a whiteout, taking out the Argentine submarine, Santa-Fe and dealing with damage onboard his ship.
Transcript from ‘SAS Rescue & Taking Back South Georgia’ podcast
Mick – We took them almost up to Ascension island and then transferred them all to other vessels. Then they were going to be repatriated via Uruguay and once we’d carried this out, we then joined up with the main task force. I’ll tell you something now that they come into play later. On the upper deck it was warm so we must have still been around Ascension. I remember looking up and I could see this Vulcan bomber flying overhead. I thought it was part of the task force.
Not knowing anything about black book missions and I only found out about all that later. We we’re heading back down to the Falklands and some of the ships had already been down there. They had been firing on Argentine positions, naval gunfire support, that that sort of thing. Probably inserting Special Forces for reconnaissance and eventually told that we were going to escort the main landings.

The Ghost Debunker | Richard Case | Bought The T-Shirt Podcast
Former policeman Richard Case, is often featured on BBC and Talk Radio as a contributor, investigating paranormal activity and debunking ghost stories. He is also a witchcraft historian, writer and presenter.
Transcript from ‘The Ghost Debunker’ podcast
Richard – How do you define a ghost? The truth of the matter is, nobody actually knows what a ghost is. You see these people on television or you even see them on Youtube with all their gadgets. The funny thing is, they don’t really know what one is. How they can detect one is beyond me. They believe there is an afterlife and many people believe that they can just appear.
Something major happens in a house, like a murder and the building records the event. So you’re not seeing ghosts that you can interact with. What you’re actually seeing is a recording of it. Sometimes people are there at that precise moment and other times they’re not. I’ll give you a quick example.

Master Iain Armstrong is a world champion martial-artist. He is a director at the world’s first Kung Fu retreat, based in northern Thailand. AJ first came to Iain’s retreat as a way of dealing with combat stress. After finding the course so helpful, he joined the instructor team and created ‘Project Hammer’ to raise money for veterans.
Transcript from ‘Kung Fu Master & US Army Veteran’ podcast
Iain – Chi is your energy and when your Chi raises, that’s when you see it rising up in your body. When it sinks you’re cool and there’s the really interesting thing. Here it’s there in the English language. If you heart becomes heated, then it rises like steam to your head. If you cool your Chi, then it’ll condense and fall like rain down to your abdomen. In our language we talk about people being hot-headed or fired up and then you’ve got the cool down, calm down or chill out.

The World’s Longest Kill | Sniper Craig Harrison | Podcast #263
The World’s Longest Kill features Craig Harrison, who was an expert sniper from the Blues and Royals, within the British Army.
The World’s Longest Kill | Sniper Craig Harrison
Craig Harrison is a former Corporal of Horse in the Blues and Royals. From 2009 to 2017, he held the record for the longest confirmed sniper kill in combat.
Transcript from ‘The World’s Longest Kill’podcast
Craig – I went down to teach in Pirbright for two years and ended up doing my course there. I ended up being an instructor.
Chris – So out of how many people rock up for these courses and how many pass them?
Craig – You can have about 30 on the course. You go through different fitness phases and then they weed you out. So you end up with either 10 on the course or 12 on the course. They hit you hard because as a sniper you’ve got to know you field crafts as well as your discipline. Being mature as well, as you’re shooting and everything’s got to be there. You’ve got to be the whole package really. It’s funny, my chief instructor was a marine down there.
Chris – What did you picture in your mind when you wanted to become a sniper?
Craig – Everyone’s got this idea you go out with a rifle, look through a scope and you shoot people. It’s actually to gather live information on the battlefield.

Old School Farang On Escaping Certain Death & Thailand Adventures
Paul Wallis has lived in Thailand over 30 years and is the author of, ‘The Essential Guide To Living In Thailand’.
Transcript from ‘Old School Farang On Escaping Certain Death & Thailand Adventures’ podcast
Paul – I’m with you on that one Chris. We’re on the same path to spiritual enlightenment, you and I yes definitely. Whereas Buddhism talks about reincarnation and I’m guessing people would probably take that literally. Like you know I may come back as a pig in the next life.
Chris – For me Paul it’s more that we’re all universe and we come from a unified field, we come from a unified source and we go back to source when we die.
Paul – Exactly so we can’t die and we’re always going to be here, that’s right. I have no fear of death and I’m sure you don’t either. I should tell you that I had an out of body experience once and it was very short. At the age of 21 I came off a motorcycle in Crete and banged on the ground. At the very moment I banged on the ground, I’m looking down on myself and the bike back wheel was going round. There was white exhaust smoke and the loud noise of the engine, because the throttle was stuck open. I looked at myself and I thought, wow I’m outside and then bang, I was right back.

Fairbairn Sykes Commando Dagger | Paul McDonald | Podcast #261
Fairbairn Sykes Commando Dagger features master swordmaker Paul McDonald detailing his work with the Commando Dagger.
Fairbairn Sykes Commando Dagger
Paul McDonald with the British Army, is the owner of Master at Arms and is a master sword maker. Specialising in all edged weaponary, we hear about the famous Fairbairn-Sykes Commando Dagger.
Transcript from ‘Fairbairn Sykes Commando Dagger’ podcast
Paul – I had to take that plunge and I started specializing in historically accurate swords and knives. That was the focus to start with and I didn’t have a a main product at that time. That certainly changed along the way as my interest grew. I became a bit more focused as well and it wasn’t until 2008 that myself and a good friend who was involved with the academy of arms, decided to start a world war two based living history group.
We focused on the original commando training, from the highland training centers and the close combat. It was quite evident that the the F.S. fighting knife, the famous commando knife was right at the heart of that too. So that led to a path of of a quite intense focus on that knife and to remake it again as accurately and as closely as the original world war two examples.
