    That's brilliant. Thank you for the inside view on what happens. You can hear in your mum's script that you are both very similar in the way you tell stories. She either knows you very well or I suspect she rubbed off on you and has influenced you greatly growing up (and possibly you both share same interests in this particular area too) Either way, hats off to your mum. It's a mean feat to work tirelessly scouring information and producing scripts every week. Much respect to you and your mother for the incredible hard work and efforts that you do for us, to produce the amazing podcasts. Thank you.

    I'm glad to see that you can walk! I am always making up stories in the back of my mind and after I started listening to your podcast and learning that you were in special forces, I imagined that since you were so young that you have been disabled while in the service and started doing this due to your love of adventure and maybe kind of an adrenaline junkie. But, I am glad to see that you are fully functional. Another podcast to follow this one would maybe be what brought you from wearing cammo to wearing plaid.
