Transcript from ‘Agent Handler ‘Bernie’ podcast
Chris and Bernie
C – Bernie, how are you mate?
B – I’m fine Chris, fine.
C – Are we allowed to say were in the world you are, it’s not going to get you a target on you.
B – No it’s fine, I’m in Spain, in the lockdown of all lockdowns. It’s like being under the Stasi over here mate.
C – Bernie, I’m just going to say a few key words here which apparently work well for promoting our video when it goes on YouTube, that’s not actually the reason I do it but it helps the people at home to know what sort of thing we’re going to be talking about. So we’re going to be talking about the royal marines, unarmed combat, MI5, the intelligence services, the middle east and body guarding…

The SPECIAL FORCES Experience
Jason Bowen is a former Special Forces Signaller who now runs ‘The S.F. Experience’. The S.F. Experience is staffed by former elite operators from the SAS, SBS and SFSG to give members of the public a taste of the hardest military selection course in the world.
Transcript from ‘The SPECIAL FORCES Experience’ podcast
Chris and Jason
C – Jason how you doing mate?
J – I’m all good thanks Chris, it’s a pleasure and a privilege to chat to you mate.
C – Who’s got the best backdrop, that’s the question.
J – It does look a little bit corporate doesn’t it.
C – I’ve been told about what you’re doing and that’s obviously part of what we’re going to talk about, it sounds amazing.
J – Thanks yeah.
C – I’m all up for giving people the military experience without sending them to war. I’m all for peace these days in my old age. But yes incredible. So what is the SF experience?
J – Well it started off back in 2013. Tragically three guys died in the Brecon Beacons on SAS reserve selection. There was a lot of news coverage at the time and it got quite political.
One of the guys fathers, I knew him briefly and I felt sorry for the parents because all this political stuff was going on in the press and the media. There was little compassion for
the parents and I felt like I wanted to do something for them.

Army Commando Joins Special Boat Service
Dean joined the Britain’s elite Special Boat Service (SBS) and took part of some of the most daring and dangerous operations in recent times. But then, following a horrific parachuting accident, Dean’s dream career was cut short, and he was put to its toughest test.
Transcript from ‘Army Commando Joins Special Boat Service’ podcast
Chris and Dean
C – Dean how are you brother?
D – I’m alright yourself?
C – Yes, I can’t complain. I’ve been in the garden for the last half hour, and my God I’m not one of these people who says that it’s too hot because it can never be too hot. Bloody hell it’s hot.
D – I’m in Aberdeen and it’s over twenty five degrees here, people are spontaneously combusting in Scotland.
C – Are they still blue?
D – Yeah, but they’ve gone a little bit white now.
C – Massive thanks for joining us mate, especially at such short notice. It’s all kicking off for you now then with your book released.
D – Yeah they hardback was released in October, and yesterday the paperback was released and we’re supposed to be out and about promoting it, but because of the current situation, I haven’t been able to do that and attend literacy festivals and other events that we had scheduled. So it’s all had to be via social media.
C – Well I don’t think that’s a bad thing to be honest.
D – Right, I think there’s been a lot of positives on this period. I don’t believe in the phrase we’re all in the same boat, because we’ve all got different boats and people in all sorts of different situations…

[yotuwp type=”videos” id=”NEQWdwsAAh4″ ]
Stolen Valor Exposed The Truth Behind Walter Mitty
My most heroic guest to date helps me explore the truth behind veteran impersonation aka Water Mitty or Stolen Valor (valour – UK spelling)
Transcript snippet from ‘Stolen Valor Exposed | The Truth Behind Walter Mitty’ podcast
Chris and Ben
C – Ben, how are you brother?
B – I’m doing good how are you?
C – Running out of clever replies, that probably aren’t really that clever.
B – When someone asks me this at work or whatever my usual reply when someone asks me how are you? I answer loving life. No matter what type of day it is, it’s positive affirmation. Sometimes good is just as sufficient, but I think if you say that enough times it gets contagious and other people start to say it whether they mean it or not.
C – I don’t mean to be rude to my guests but they’ve got to sort out the way they fricking speak man. All this “I’m good”. This is England, we’re British and we’re very proud about that. We’re not nationalistic but we’re proud not to have to copy other countries. People can speak how they want, of course they can but I do think though. I think people who are easily swayed with their language just start saying what other people say. You know like this ‘passed’ thing instead of died. They use ‘passed’. I personally think there’s a lot to dissect there…

C – Baz how are you brother?
B – Really well Chris, great to see you. I haven’t seen you in quite a while with the stuff going on, so it’s great to see your face mate.
C – Yes mate, and yours too. How are you feeling about tomorrow.
B – I’m ready, I’m a bit like you mate, I sort of decided to do this quite late, but fortunately I look after myself and do quite a lot of running anyway. My escape tends to be out on the moors near where I live, so I’ve really knuckled down and focused on doing this run in the last couple of weeks properly. It’s probably not the sort of time you should be giving yourself into an eighty mile run but…

Arctic Warfare Training AWT | Royal Marines Commando Unit
Ever wondered what it is like to fight in the Norwegian Arctic, carrying an eighty pound bergen on a pair of skis, jumping into ice-cold water and sleeping in a snowcave? In this podcast I talk about my arctic warfare training in Norway (AWT) in the first year of a Royal Marines Commando Unit.
Transcript snippet from ‘Arctic Warfare Training AWT’ podcast
Chris
C – Hello friends, I hope this finds you well. Welcome back to another in my what’s the royal marines really like series. I’ve been really looking forward to doing this for quite some time now, because I’m going to talk about Norway, which looking back at least was an experience I was so glad I went through, if maybe I wasn’t so happy at the time for reasons I’ll explain. So Norway is where the Royal Marines do their Arctic Warfare training. I first sort of came across the Norway experience as opposed to just hearing about it when I was on rear party at 42 Commando. So I left for training in February, bitterly cold when we did our commando tests and I went to 42 Commando which is at Bickley, just outside Plymouth, and I was on something called rear party which is basically guard duty. The reason being the whole unit were away on winter deployment or exercise and this was of course in Norway where 42 and 45 commando go every year, at least that’s how it was when I served…

Transcript from the ’15 (UK) Psychological Operations Group’ podcast
Chris and Tim
C – I was going to say how are you Tim, and now I’m going to say how are you colours?
T – I’m great thanks.
C – Is that the same in the army, we call our colour sergeants, colours and that’s an acceptable thing to call them.
T – No, in the army it’s called colour, without the letter ‘s’ on the end. It’s quite funny because I worked with the marines quite a bit. I did three deployments with three commando brigade and they were all calling me colours. When I moved into London, they all called me Sir. Then I had an opportunity to go back and work with my regiment and they were calling me colour, so it was quite bizarre the way I was being treated with the different regiments.
