“Stumbled upon this podcast and absolutely love it. I found Andy’s comeback story hugely inspiring - would love to hear more about his life lessons professionally and personally. He also does a terrific job of sensitively navigating immensely touching and humbling stories - please keep them...”Read full review »

“Much as I have enjoyed these interviews, the lack of acknowledgement of how the privilege of both Andy and his guests has been the foundation to the successful survival of their crisis is baffling. The latest episode with Aitkin was the epitome of this.”

As ex Military it got me thinking about the Andy McNab interview as we both went through similar teachings on surviving. I remember being lecture to by ex prisoners...”Read full review »

“Different to ‘The Rest is Politics’ but equally as good-so much so, that I cannot wait for the next update
What I would like, is a podcast that challenges the claims from either side-for instance, we could/should have insulated
