In the first of two episodes recorded in the Republic of Ireland, Clare travels to Moyle Hill in County Donegal to meet adventurer and motivational speaker, Nikki Bradley. Diagnosed with a rare bone cancer at just 16 years of age, Nikki (now in her 30s) has defied expectations by living a very active life. She was the first person on crutches to climb four Irish mountain peaks, which took her 32 hours. She scaled the Sólheimajökull glacier in Iceland, and has completed the Fan Dance, one of the toughest endurance challenges in the UK including two ascents of Pen y Fan. Her latest enormous challenge has been to undergo a very unusual leg amputation. The damage caused by the cancer led to two hip replacements in her twenties, but her pain and discomfort continued so ultimately her medical team suggested a procedure known as a rotationplasty. Her upper leg was removed, and her lower leg was turned 180 degrees, raised and attached to the top of her thigh to become her ‘new' upper leg. Her foot faces backwards at knee height, with the idea that it acts as the knee joint itself. It's been emotionally very difficult coming to terms with her change of appearance and the pain associated with the procedures and rehab. But, in characteristic spirit, she has continued to push forward and after many months of recovery is now back walking again. Producer: Karen Gregor Presenter: Clare Balding

In this episode of The Debrief, former 22 SAS Trooper Big Phil Campion speaks to Gareth De La Torre. Born a ‘pad brat' in Paderborn, Gareth began to follow his father's journey, and joined junior leaders, but quickly discovered it wasn't the career for him. Finding himself in a lucrative, successful career in sales built Gareth his dream life, with expensive cars and holidays, before an accident at home changed his life… Gareth was diagnosed with epilepsy and his life began to unravel, losing his job, driving licence, and his wife. A rollercoaster journey left Gareth sectioned after being found in the local woods after a seizure. It was his childhood passion for the outdoors that would be his key to overcoming the adversity he faced. Starting a YouTube channel and developing a passion for outdoor challenges, like the infamous Fan Dance, Gareth has gone on to complete incredible physical feats, and has written a book about his life, ‘What The Ruck Just Happened' Follow This Podcast To Be Notified Of New Episodes, Visit Our Social Media Platforms & YouTube Channel For More Bonus Content, And Listen Live To Our Radio Station: Listen Live: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.forceradio.live/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Visit Our YouTube Channel: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@forceradiohq

The pod is taking a slight temporal detour this week and covering The Right Stuff - a film that began its development during New Hollywood and was finished and released in the wake of the Heaven's Gate debacle. Sam and Alana pontificate about whether or not this ambitious space epic retains the artistic spirit of the 70s or if it can't quite achieve liftoff beyond merely ‘fun movie about the early days of the Space Race'. Topics include: the film's digressive structure, Philip Kaufman's Pavlovian response to popcorn, and the charms of Dennis Quaid.

Joining the Royal Marines aged 18, and enjoying 7 overseas tours in his career, Rian Ilett turned down promotions to stay in the action. Advancing into an anti-tank & heavy weapons role, Rian and his team encountered a hijacked American anti-tank which left him requiring a medical check. The check revealed a mass on his brain, and Rian was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer, and given 12-15 months to live. Now 42 months past the end of his projected timeframe, Rian has since deployed overseas in advisory roles, completed physical trials like the Fan-Dance, and written his book 'Every Day Is A Battle' Follow This Podcast To Be Notified Of New Episodes, Visit Our Social Media Platforms & YouTube Channel For More Bonus Content, And Listen Live To Our Radio Station: Listen Live: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.forceradio.live/⁠⁠⁠ Visit Our YouTube Channel: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@forceradiohq

Lessons from the Fan Dance #1 - It's easier than catching up

Some songs you enjoy in the background while others take up residence in your bones. Sam Phillips' music is in the latter category. She was Christian pop artist Leslie Phillips until she outgrew those constraints and, as Sam, began releasing such transcendent songs as “Holding On to the Earth” and “I Need Love” and wonderful albums such as the spirited The Indescribable Wow, the tour de force Martinis and Bikinis and the intimate Fan Dance. What threat did she make to get released from her Christian label? How did she wind up playing a mute villain in Die Hard with a Vengeance? How is she still searching for the euphoric? She's as perceptive and spellbinding in conversation as in song.

The current threats of war help to show the contrast between life in oppressive countries and life in mostly economically free countries like the United States. It sure would be nice if our president seemed to understand that better.An excerpt from the Peter Schiff show does a good job of explaining this.audio edited by: http://JayPrescott.com

In this episode wildrunners Colin and Dan chat about their recent races. Colin took on the Fan Dance on the saturday which is a gruelling 24km SAS selection route staged over Pen y Fan organised by TSFE which put on an absolutely fantastic event. Then on the Sunday both Colin and Dan were joined by their families to take on the family mile at Duxford which again is a very well run event. Give this podcast a listen to checkout how these events went plus we chat about a few other things too.

Dan C. ( Dan- aka @timely_moments -is a serving soldier in the British Army, so we'll avoid surnames for PERSEC reasons) knows a thing or two about the military watch sub genre of the watch collecting hobby. Dan joins us from the UK to talk about military and military adjacent watches (many of which are cool and surprisingly affordable), as well as his experiences working on special project pieces with British brands like Bremont and Elliot Brown. We revisit Matt's favorite soapbox topic: #watchfam misperceptions about Bremont. Finally, we discuss a bit about Welsh whiskey and the British military's most feared hiking excursion- the dreaded "Fan Dance"! [insert SAS Walter Mitty daydream HERE] Thanks for listening.

This is part of my archived podcast when I did interviews for obstacle course racing. The reason I have added this episode is because of the grit and determination it took Ken to survive. I had the privilege of interviewing Ken Jones the author of Darkness Descending. Ken went on a winter trip to Romania and got caught up in an avalanche which resulted in horrific injuries. He had to crawl, hobble and survive without food for 3 days before he got to a small village and was able to get help. He survived after multiple surgeries and created the successful Fan Dance endurance event in the Brecon Beacons which I attended for a number of years. Its a brutal event which I loved and hated at the same time.

Carrie Moyer. Photo credit: © Girl Ray, 2016 Carrie Moyer is an artist and writer known for her sumptuous paintings which explore and extend the legacy of American Abstraction, while paying homage to many of its groundbreaking female figures, among them Georgia O’Keeffe, Helen Frankenthaler and Elizabeth Murray. In equal measure abstract and representational, Moyer’s work proposes a kaleidoscopic worldview that embraces the sensual as much the rational. Playful logo-like silhouettes — vessels, towers, portals, meteorological phenomena, plant life, animal and human forms — demarcate arched prosceniums or abstract fields of color. These flattened archetypes and cheeky reference points often perform as compositional rigging around which flow cascades of paint, glitter and light. Whether invoking the natural or constructed world, inventive paint handling and succulent color seem to tempt all of the viewer’s senses, from sight to touch to taste (perhaps even sound!). The resulting spaces — lush and transporting — are uniquely Moyer’s own.Moyer’s work has been exhibited throughout the US and Europe. Her paintings were featured in the 2017 Whitney Biennial. Previous museum shows include a traveling survey, Carrie Moyer: Pirate Jenny, that originated at the Tang Museum, Saratoga Springs, NY; and Interstellar, at the Worcester Art Museum, MA (2012). Between 1991-2008, Moyer and photographer Sue Schaffner collaborated as Dyke Action Machine!, a public art project that humorously dissected mainstream advertising through the insertion of lesbian imagery. Moyer’s writing has appeared in periodicals such as Art in America, Artforum, the Brooklyn Rail and monographs on Louise Fishman and Nancy Grossman. She has received awards from the Guggenheim and Joan Mitchell Foundations, Anonymous Was a Woman, and Creative Capital among others. Moyer attended Pratt Institute (BFA), Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts, Bard College (MFA) and the Skowhegan School of Art. She is of the Director of MFA Program in Studio Art at Hunter College. Moyer is represented by DC Moore Gallery in New York City. The collaborative exhibition mentioned in the interview can be explored through this link to the Portland Museum. Carrie Moyer, “Fan Dance at the Golden Nugget,” 2017. Acrylic, glitter on canvas.

John Porter, hero of the original Strikeback novel and TV series returns in an exciting adventure, when old enemies attack the SAS. 1999. A bitterly cold morning in the Brecon Beacons, and the soldiers trying out for SAS Selection are preparing to face their toughest test yet. Overseeing the soldiers is John Porter: once a promising young Blade, now a broken man and a drunk, seeing out his days in the Regiment Training Wing. But before the Fan Dance can begin, six masked gunmen carry out a devastating attack. Dozens of soldiers are killed. In the aftermath of the massacre, and with a government desperate for action, Porter and another surviving operator, John Bald, are taken to a secretive briefing in London. Their orders - to hunt down and kill those responsible for the attack. What follows is a deadly game of kill or be killed as Bald and Porter lead a Strike Team across Europe on a blood-soaked mission of revenge. But as they draw closer to their ultimate target, the men discover that there is a greater threat - much closer to home...

Nikki Bradley was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer (Ewing’s Sarcoma) at the age of 16. She received the news that she would remain on crutches permanently and, in the future, may face full right leg amputation. Since then, she has undertaken several incredible challenges to both raise awareness for the rare disease and highlight the importance of exercise for rehabilitation. Some of those challenges have included completing the Fan Dance race, a Guinness World Record attempt in Holland, climbing a route of the Sólheimajökull glacier in Iceland, abseiling into a 45-foot ice cave, numerous mountain climbs and becoming the first woman to abseil off Fanad Head Lighthouse. Here she tells us her story and how she has managed to live life to the full despite a number of very challenging set backs.
