Today on the podcast I am joined by Grog, Boydy and Ben of the Belfast based band Teras!This band blew me away opening up the siege earlier this year with their incredibly energetic and captivating performance so it's a real pleasure to have had the opportunity to sit down and chat with them. We'll be chatting about that performance of course, as well their latest singles, Sovereign (which was released in January) and The Perception, their latest single which will be released very soon along with an accompanying music video.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 20ú lá de mí Lúnasa, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1971 chuaigh trí fhear chuig ospidéal Royal Victoria I mBéal Feirste tar éis eachtra lámhach. I 1999 bhí cáin nua ag teacht isteach do dhaoine a bhí ag siopadóireacht darbh ainm Cháin Glas. I 2003 bhí na daoine a raibh ag obair do chomhairle chontae Tiobraid Árann ag fáil nach mór 75 míle euro de phárceáil saor in aisce gach bliain. Bhí ceadúnas ag 303 duine a bhí ag obair ann. De bharr sin bhí an chomhairle ag caill 75 mhíle euro gach bliain. Bhí an diosca párceáil timpeall 250 euro gach bliain. I 2007 shábháil an bhriogáid dóiteáin ón chontae turasóir a raibh sáinnithe ina gcarr nuair a bhí tuilte san Aonach Urmhumhan. Fuair na seirbhísí éigeandála glaoch ó bhean a bhí ina gcarr. Dúirt fear dóiteáin Tommy Morgan go raibh an aimsir uafásach ag an am agus bhí an bhean scanraithe. Sin Westlife le If I Let You Go – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1999 Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1973 chan Bruce Springsteen a chéad oíche amach as seacht ag Olivers I mBostún. Chan sé dhá uair a chloig gach oíche. I 1990 chan Aerosmith ag an Marquee Club I Londain. Sheinm Jimmy Paige ó Led Zeppelin leis an bhanna ceoil. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Andrew Garfield I Meiriceá I 1983 agus rugadh amhránaí Demi Lovato I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1992 agus seo chuid de amhrán. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 20th of August, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1971: 3 men were rushed to Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast after a shooting incident. 1999: Consumers faced a controversial new Green Tax on their shopping 2003 - North Tipperary County Council's staff were getting over €75,000 in free parking each year. The council issued 303 permits to staff working in, or required to attend the courthouse in Nenagh for work purposes. This means that the council is forfeiting over €75.750 each year in potential revenue, as a yearly parking disc for any of the town's car parks costs €250 per annum. 2007 - North Tipperary Fire Brigade rescued an English tourist who became trapped in her car following flash floods in the Nenagh area. The emergency services received a call from a lady motorist who had become trapped in her car at Ballyartella Bridge spanning the Nenagh River. Fireman Tommy Morgan said weather conditions were atrocious at the time and that the sole lady occupant of the car was "very frightened. That was Westlife with If I Let You Go – the biggest song on this day in 1999 Onto music news on this day In 1973 Bruce Springsteen played the first of a seven night run at Oliver's in Boston, Massachusetts playing two 60-minute sets each night 1990 Aerosmith appeared at The Marquee Club London. Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page joined the band on stage for a blues jam. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – actor Andrew Garfield was born in America in 1983 and singer Demi Lovato was born in America on this day in 1992 and this is one of her songs. I'll be back with you tomorrow with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.

An episode from Liberty Behind Bars Ministry, a ministry serving the incarcerated across America located in Belfast, New York.The Scriptures : We believe that “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,” 2nd Timothy 3:16 by which we understand that the whole Bible “came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” 2nd Peter 1:21. The Scriptures, originally recorded by Spirit led men, have been faithfully translated and preserved in our English Language. We believe the Authorized Version (A.V. 1611) is infallible and selfless: our final authority for all matters of faith and practice. Christ's Advent: We believe that the eternal Son of God came into this world that He might manifest God to men, fulfill prophecy, and become the Redeemer of a lost world. He was born of a virgin, conceived by the Holy Ghost, received a human body, and a sinless nature.Salvation: We believe that, owing to death through sin, no one can enter the Kingdom of God unless born again. This redemption has been accomplished solely by the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, who was made to be sin, dying in our stead, and that He was bodily and physically raised from the dead for our justification. We believe that the new birth of the believer is an act of the Holy Ghost and comes only through individual faith in Christ.The Church: We believe that God has ordained that through the local church the Gospel of Jesus Christ is to be spread and that it is the duty of everyone who is born again to seek out a local fellowship for the furtherance of the Gospel and his own edification. I spent half of my life in and out of jails, prisons, rehabs, and other facilities. Unfortunately, the programs that were offered did not help me to become a productive member of society, it just made me a better inmate. Whatchanged me, was a new life in Jesus Christ and reading/studying a King James Bible.Many prisons, jails, and other institutions have heard from many of their inmates that they are changed due to religion. However, most are seen back within the next year or two. As God gave Moses a burden for the Children of Israel, so God gave me a burden for those in jails and prisons. Churches send missionaries to foreign countries, in support, hopes and prayers, they can win the nationals to Jesus, train them and then send the nationals back to their own people. This is what Jesus has done for me. He saved me out of this life of crimes and addiction, and now sends me back to my people who are in jails/prisons, to win them to Christ and send them back to their own peopleThis is where Liberty Behind Bars Ministry steps in. Not only do we minister to those behind the jail walls we help them transition into society; differently than they did in the past. The goal is to break the cycle of recidicism and help people have a changed life in Jesus Christ. I have my Doctorate in Christian Biblical Counseling and use this knowledge to not only help those within the jail/prison walls, but also to support their family members.

The death of a man in Newcastle brings the number of people murdered in Northern Ireland in the past nine weeks to nine, with twelve people murdered so far this year. 84-year-old pensioner Sean Small was found dead in his Newcastle home on Sunday night. The week before, a west Belfast father was stabbed to death in his home. Named locally as Shane Lowry, the 32-year-old's brother has been charged with the killing.

It's Wednesday, August 27th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark India threatens life in prison for sharing Christ Christians may face life in prison for simply sharing the Gospel in India. The country's northern state of Uttarakhand amended its anti-conversion law last week. Violations are now punishable by life imprisonment. The law also cracks down on sharing one's faith through social media. Rev. Vijayesh Lal told Morning Star News, “These provisions, with penalties up to life imprisonment, represent some of India's harshest anti-conversion measures and could turn ordinary conversations about belief into criminal acts.” Please pray for the church in India. The country is ranked 11th on the Open Doors' World Watch List of the most difficult places to be a Christian. Trump imposes 50% tariffs on India over funding Russian war The U.S. imposed new tariffs on exports from India starting today. The tariffs come in response to India's continued purchasing of Russian oil. President Donald Trump's levies on Indian exports are at 50% now. India has become one of the top buyers of Russian oil since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. The Trump administration is accusing India of effectively funding Russia's war through its oil purchases. 5,000 Irish march for Jesus Around 5,000 people joined the March for Jesus in Belfast, Northern Ireland over the weekend. Rev. John Ahern organized the event. He told Christian Daily International, “As the people of God, if we're willing to humble ourselves and pray, as the Bible says in 2 Chronicles 7:14, and turn from our wicked ways, God has promised to hear from Heaven, forgive our sin and heal our land.” The event builds on last year's march in Dublin where about 12,000 Christians participated. Another march in Dublin is scheduled for next month. 2 Chronicles 7:14 says, “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” Minnesota Christian colleges allowed to offer free credit to high schoolers A U.S. District Court ruled in favor of faith-based colleges in Minnesota last Friday. Previously, the state barred such colleges from offering free college credit to high school students. Minnesota parents successfully challenged the decision with the help of The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty. Diana Thomson, senior counsel at Becket, said, “Minnesota tried to cut off educational opportunities to thousands of high schoolers simply for their faith. That's not just unlawful—it's shameful. This ruling is a win for families who won't be strong-armed into abandoning their beliefs, and a sharp warning to politicians who target them.” D.C. hospital halts transgender drugs on minors ABC News reports that Children's National Hospital in Washington, D.C. will no longer offer transgender drugs to minors. It's the latest hospital in the U.S. to stop offering so-called “gender transition” drugs. Other hospitals to make similar decisions include Yale Medicine, Kaiser Permanente, Children's Hospital Los Angeles, and UChicago Medicine. These decisions follow President Trump's executive order to end federal funding for transgender procedures on minors. U.S. gov't owns 10% of Intel stocks Last Friday, Intel announced an $8.9 billion investment in the company's stock by the U.S. government. This means the government will own about 10% of the computer chip manufacturer. The deal converts government grants into equity share in the company. On Truth Social, President Trump wrote, “The United States paid nothing for these Shares, and the Shares are now valued at approximately $11 Billion Dollars. This is a great Deal for America and, also, a great Deal for INTEL.” 100-year-long German prayer chain And finally, this week is the anniversary of when a Christian community in Herrnhut, Germany began a round-the-clock “prayer chain.” The community started after Count Nikolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf opened his estate to Protestant refugees. On August 27, 1727, dozens in the community committed to pray, in turns, every hour of every day. The prayer chain reportedly lasted over one hundred years. The Moravian community went on to send hundreds of missionaries around the world, becoming the spearhead of Protestant missions. Colossians 4:2 says, “Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, August 27th, in the year of our Lord 2025.

Get ready for another in our Emmy Awards nominees mini-series. Today, Joshua Zetumer, showrunner of Say Nothing, joins us to break down his riveting adaptation of the book of the same name by Patrick Radden Keefe, which hit screens last year. Say Nothing offered a stunningly well-realised recreation of a tinderbox time on the streets of Belfast, Northern Ireland. Spanning three decades, it followed two real-life sisters – Dolours and Marian Price – whose involvement in the 1973 bombing of London's Old Bailey as soldiers in the provisional Irish Republican Army saw them sentenced to life imprisonment. In jail, the pair went on a hunger strike that became national news. In the spoiler conversation you're about to hear, Josh tells me about approaching the story as an outsider, having grown up some five thousand miles away. We get into the show's portrayal of divisive real-life figures who are alleged to have committed terrible acts of violence, the hurt from which still resonates today. And you'll also hear about the theme of destructive silence that runs through this show - though for obvious reasons, Josh declines to say much about the shocking end to the series, which is currently the subject of a controversial court case.

This week's entry to the Local Selection showcases Tipperary-born, now Belfast-based DJ, Laine to the series. This recording depicts Laine's cohesive and elegant mixing style, progressing eloquently throughout. Lock in for the next hour to hear this stunning mix, courtesy of the Reclaim The Mainframe resident. Laine has burst onto the Dublin dance circuit in recent years, encompassing a distinct style that is geared towards house music and its adjacent sub-genres. In doing so, she has earned the opportunity to play for a host of parties like Melodic, Lumo Club and Hidden Love, as well as venues across Dublin such as Tengu, Pawn Shop and Izakaya. Not to mention picking up a residency for one of Ireland's most exciting parties, Reclaim The Mainframe. These opportunities come as no surprise once you have gotten the chance to hear Laine play, as her library allows her to showcase a wide range of deep cuts right across the house spectrum. She has frequented DDR's airwaves on multiple occasions as part of Efa O Neill's Out of Space series, as well as showcasing a guest mix for prog-house aficionados Fuaim. Her expertise in the booth has seen her perform at Beyond The Pale as well as Fuinneamh, with another appearance at the Dundalk festival locked in this summer. Laine's Local Selection focuses on an array of low-slung chuggers, rooted in deep, murky territory. Keeping things moody, slick and rolling for the duration of the recording, Laine does a fantastic job at flexing this side of her musical palette while introducing glimpses of euphoria throughout. Interestingly, this mix is ideal for casual listening, though it is something you could envision hearing in a smoke-filled, dimly lit basement somewhere, too.

This week's discussion kicks off with the recent debacle surrounding the ESPN app's rollout, raising questions about the ever-evolving landscape of streaming services (0:59). Blaine and Donovan express their frustration with the lack of clarity in ESPN's marketing and ponder the implications of a subscription-based model that seems to be inadvertently recreating cable television. They then shift gears in the non-spoiler section to explore the gritty British series 'Blue Lights,' now available on HBO Max, which follows probationary police officers navigating the complexities of law enforcement in Belfast (7:59). They offer a teaser on 'Alien: Earth' from FX and Hulu, hinting at its intriguing premise (17:41).

Think the Troubles were only Northern Ireland? Discover America's secret hand in the conflict.The Troubles are often remembered as a conflict confined to Northern Ireland and Britain — but that's a myth. In this episode of History Rage, host Paul Bavill is joined by journalist and Pulitzer Prize finalist Ali Watkins to uncover the overlooked role of Irish America in the conflict. Focusing on radical nationalist movements in Philadelphia, they explore how identity, violence, and diaspora politics shaped the fight far beyond Belfast and Derry.Episode HighlightsThe Philadelphia Five – Meet the five working-class men who became central to a clandestine gun-running operation for the Provisional IRA, challenging assumptions about who becomes a revolutionary.Irish American Identity – Ali reflects on her own family history and how diaspora communities engaged with — and sometimes enabled — the Troubles.Smuggling Guns Across the Atlantic – Discover the rudimentary but effective tactics used to move firearms from Philadelphia to Ireland, often under the noses of customs officials.The FBI Cracks Down – Learn how American law enforcement finally targeted these networks, leading to the collapse of the Philadelphia Five's operations.Legacy & Reflection – How should Irish America remember this hidden history, and what does it reveal about modern nationalism?This conversation challenges the idea that the Troubles were a “local” conflict and reveals the global networks — and moral complexities — that sustained it.
The arrest of more than 500 people at a Palestine Action rally in London on August 9th did more than raise the profile of the little-known anti-war action group: it raised questions about the fundamental right of British people to engage in peaceful protest, and exactly what constitutes a terrorist organisation in the eyes of the government.The arrests were on foot of a ban in July under UK terrorism legislation which put the group in the same proscribed category as Islamic State, al-Qaeda, the IRA, the UVF and a long list of banned terror groups.In an essay in the Irish Times last weekend, novelist Sally Rooney made her position clear.In the piece which she says she could not legally publish in a British publication, she writes that she supports Palestine Action – including financially – and “If this makes me a ‘supporter of terror' under UK law, so be it“.The images that emerged of the arrests at the rally included those of elderly men and women with home-made “Stop the Genocide” signs and of people wearing Palestine Action T-shirts and carrying banners.Since then, civil liberties groups have been vocal in what they say is the dangerous route the British government is following, appearing to conflate peaceful protest with terrorism.So what is Palestine Action?

Galway songwriter Jamie McIntyre has been riding the crest of a wave this past year with his 2024 summer single “Over Galway Town” becoming a viral smash hit amassing over 4 million streams on Spotify sitting amongst some of the world's biggest artists in the viral charts. Last year, he was selected by Gavin James to join him as support in Paris on his European tour as part of Three's City Stages initiative which also led to him working with Imelda May and performing at Electric Picnic, followed by performances with Liverpool songwriter Jamie Webster on his sold out shows at 3Olympia in Dublin and The Telegraph Building in Belfast. The success of “Over Galway Town” has seen his music reach to far flung places across the globe and shows no signs of slowing down. 2025 has continued that trajectory with McIntyre's debut Irish tour selling out shows in Dublin, Limerick and his hometown of Galway. His recent EP, “Chapter 23”, continues to grow his following with songs like “West is Home” and “Grá” quickly becoming fan favourites, amassing over 850k streams since its release. Jamie's single ‘Outside the city' seems to already be a fan favourite gaining over 250k streams in the first 2 months of release. And his single ‘Melbourne' also seems to be a fan favourite gaining over 200,000 in the first three weeks of release. Oileáin Árann is a song about leaving the place you are from and heading to the Aran islands in search of some peace from someone who has left you broken hearted. The song speaks about how I personally have gone onto better things since that person has left my life and realising whilst out on Oileáin Árann that there more to life than this person who didn't appreciate you as much as you thought they did or should.
‘Hope should never Die' – Bobby SandsWednesday 20th August marks the anniversary of the death on hunger strike in 1981 of Mickey Devine. Mickey was the last of the ten men to die and several weeks later the hunger strike end on 3 October. It was also the day the by-election was held in Fermanagh South Tyrone caused by the death in May of Bobby Sands. Owen Carron successfully held the seat as the ‘Anti-H-Block/Proxy Political Prisoner' candidate.This Sunday the annual National Hunger Strike March and Rally will take place in Belfast. Republicans and others remember with pride and sorrow those who died on hunger strike in 1981, as well as Michael Gaughan 1974 and Frank Stagg 1976, and others of earlier generations. The men of the H-Blocks and the women of Armagh Women's Prison hold a special place in republican hearts and minds. We also remember all of those who died during that summer of 1981.An ClogánAmong the many excellent events at this year's Féile an Phobail was the launch of a new journal called An Clogán (The Little Bell). It is an independent, politically unaligned magazine that takes its name, and I suspect its design as an A5 booklet, from The Bell. This was a left oriented magazine edited and published in the 1940's and 50's by Peadar O'Donnell, Roisin Walsh and Sean Ó Faoláin.An Clogán, which is edited by Oisín Gilmore and Oisín Vince Coulter is an ambitious magazine containing 27 contributions from a wide range of writers, including Claire Mitchell, Robbie McVeigh, Phillip Pettit, Martina Anderson, Margaret Ward, and an interview with me.

This episode was originally published in June 2025. Tattle Life is a gossip site that many will have never heard of until a landmark defamation trial in Belfast in June 2025.Donna and Neil Sands bought a defamation case against the site – and won. They were each awarded £150,000 (€176,000) in damages, with the court saying their costs should also be covered.The married couple who live in Northern Ireland said that cruel, untrue and hateful anonymous postings over several years on the site left them fearing for their safety, their businesses and their relationships and impacted on their mental health.Award-winning journalist Aoife Moore knows exactly how the Sands feel. She too has been the victim of an onslaught of online abuse on Tattle Life, with entirely untrue gossip spread about her personal and professional life.She tells In the News how that impacted on her and what the defamation case means for her. And while this is the first successful defamation case against the gossip site, she says it will not be the last.Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by Suzanne Brennan. Hosted on Acast.

Peace negotiations and reconciliation processes can change the world – but they're not much to look at. The shortage of compelling images is one of many challenges to making peace more tangible in our very visual world. But if we expand the concept of peace to include what peace actually means to people who have lived through conflict, then what peace looks like can be expansive. Like a portrait of a family reunited after a war. Or something unexpected, like a photo of a man walking on stilts through a refugee camp, entertaining a host of children. Our guests this episode are Tiffany Fairey, a Senior Research Fellow based at the Department of War Studies at King's College London, and Ingrid Guyon, a photographer and participatory visual media practitioner. They've both spent over 15 years working around the world helping communities affected by conflict to tell their own stories through photography. Fairey and Guyon are co-authors of Peace Photography: A Guide, which presents a methodology and approach that celebrates peace efforts and encourages creativity, drawing on projects in 21 countries. Fairey's upcoming book Imaging Peace: How People Use Photography to Resist Violence, Transform Conflict, and Build Connection will be out this autumn from Edinburgh University Press.

Comhghairdeas Féile!!Well done to all of those who planned, organised, participated in, or generally contributed to this years hugely successful Féile an Phobail. It was a colourful, imaginative, informative, entertaining, empowering and exhausting couple of weeks. This year's published programme was a weighty volume providing information on over 600 events across the City. It was a mix of 80 debates and discussions, sporting and music events, art exhibitions, as well as the carnival parade and family fun days for children and much more. The concerts in the Park were packed to capacity each night and revellers thoroughly enjoyed themselves.Gael Stair – Na h'Abair é, dean é.During Féile I had the honour and pleasure to open an exhibition in Conway Mill on the role of the Irish language and Irish language activists in the social and political history of Belfast. At the heart of the exhibition is the archive preserved by Brighid Mhic Sheáin - one of the founders of the Shaws Road Gaeltacht in west Belfast. Over five decades she diligently collected the Gael Stair archive which reveals how connected the Irish language was with the struggle for social rights, self-determination, and for a better future free from poverty and unemployment.
‘Racism, pure and simple' - that's the PSNI's assessment of an anti-migrant group roaming the streets of east Belfast. The self-styled vigilantes were posting their antics to TikTok, which has now banned them. Sometimes accompanied by dogs the group have been demanding to see IDs, have made threats on doorsteps, and have been enquiring about work-statuses. One the main movers in the group is dog ‘hunter' Neil Pinkerton. Ciarán Dunbar is joined by the Belfast Telegraph's security correspondent, Allison Morris. Hosted on Acast.

Du Mexique à la Palestine en passant par Berlin, Belfast et les conquêtes d'Alexandre le Grand, les murs incarnent des tentatives ratées de l'histoire. Toujours pour séparer, mais très souvent franchis ou débordés. Vers l'an 140 de notre ère, l'Empire romain construit un mur très loin des siens, sur le sol de l'Ecosse actuelle. Une frontière verticale conçue pour séparer et se protéger de ceux qu'ils ont nommés les Barbares. Une tentative qui intervient par ailleurs vingt ans après la construction du mur d'Hadrien. Etienne Duval en parle avec Séverine Peyrichou, en charge de la valorisation du mur d'Antonin, puisque ce patrimoine est classé par l'UNESCO depuis 2008. Avec Laurent Flutsch, archéologue, ancien directeur du Musée romain de Lausanne-Vidy.
A Belfast, un quart de siècle après les accords du Vendredi saint qui ont mis fin au conflit nord-irlandais, les murs qui séparent les quartiers catholiques et protestants sont toujours en place. Chaque communauté a sa propre interprétation de l'histoire irlandaise et britannique et cette histoire parallèle est représentée sur des fresques toujours renouvelées de part et d'autre de ce qu'on appelle encore les murailles de la paix. Etienne Duval a rencontré un spécialiste de ce conflit, l'anthropologue Dominic Bryan, professeur à la Queen's University de Belfast.
The arena-conquering duo glide from gritty rave to skyscraping arpeggios on RA.1000, a mix many years in the making. A new name undeniably entered the pantheon of major electronic live acts over the past decade: next to Faithless, The Prodigy and The Chemical Brothers, now sit @feelmybicep. The Belfast duo's music doesn't half reach for the stars: a melodic blend of ambient, breakbeat, trance and tech house, able to turn the biggest arenas into intimate affairs. If anything, mainstream success, BRIT Award nominations and mammoth dance crossovers like "Glue" have only hardened Andy Ferguson and Matt McBriar's resolve to keep innovating. Their prized blog, running for nearly as long as the RA Podcast, regularly platforms upcoming artists. And you won't find many festival headliners releasing climate change-themed records with Indigenous artists, as they did recently on Takkuuk. RA.1000 exists in that spirit. After many polite declines, and before a year off to usher in the next era, Bicep come through at the last: from dub techno and screwface breaks to São Paulo garage, before a tide of signature synths floods the zone. Stadium-sized intimacy at its finest. @feelmybicep Find the tracklist and interview at ra.co/podcast/1015. Listen to all RA.1000 mixes, as well as the complete history of the RA Podcast, at 1000.ra.co.
At Iowa Irish Fest, the music flows as easily as the pints. This year, I sat down with Belfast-born musician Ian Gould, who's been sharing Irish music around the world for years. Known for weaving stories and history into his performances, Ian also hosted a bodhrán workshop during the festival, giving curious festival-goers a hands-on... The post The Beat of Ireland: Ian Gould on the Bodhrán, Trad Music, and Tours appeared first on Ireland Family Vacations.

RTE's Conor Macauley reports on a new play about 14 year old Julie Livingstone who was killed by a plastic bullet.
Today Justin is joined once more by Tim Spicer. Tim served for 20 years in the British Army where he rose to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel and saw active service in Northern Ireland, The Falklands Campaign, the Gulf War, and the Balkans, as well as serving in the Far East, Cyprus, and Germany.
