David Peck sits down with acclaimed actors Radha Mitchell, Ioan Gruffudd, and Bianca Wallace to discuss the tense new action-thriller Seven Snipers on Face2Face. Together they explore the film's emotional core, the psychology of survival, the lingering effects of trauma, and the complicated relationships that exist beneath the bullets and battlefield tactics. What begins as a gripping sniper thriller quickly reveals itself as a story about family, love, sacrifice, and redemption. The conversation touches on strong female characters, the realities of violence, PTSD, independent filmmaking, and why some films linger long after the credits roll. A compelling look behind the scope of one of this year's most intense action films.Seven Snipers brings together an impressive ensemble led by three accomplished performers whose careers span film, television, and independent cinema.Academy Award-nominated actor Radha Mitchell leads the film as Kris Hendricks, a retired elite sniper whose carefully constructed life is shattered when a ruthless enemy from her past resurfaces. One of Australia's most respected international actors, Mitchell is known for standout performances in Pitch Black, Finding Neverland, Phone Booth, Man on Fire, and Silent Hill. Throughout her career, she has built a reputation for portraying strong, complex, and emotionally layered characters, making her a natural fit for the heart of Seven Snipers.Joining her is acclaimed Welsh actor Ioan Gruffudd, whose extensive screen career includes memorable roles in Titanic, Black Hawk Down, King Arthur, Fantastic Four, Forever, and Harrow. A graduate of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA), Gruffudd has earned international recognition for bringing intelligence, warmth, and depth to every role. In Seven Snipers, he plays "Milk," a loyal former member of the sniper team whose courage and humanity become central to the film's emotional core. He is also the recipient of the Welsh BAFTA's Sian Phillips Award for Outstanding Contribution to Film and Television.Rounding out the trio is Australian actor Bianca Wallace, whose work spans feature films, television, voice acting, and producing. Originally from Queensland, Wallace first began performing as a singer before transitioning into acting, earning recognition for her award-winning work in Bloodline and other film projects. In Seven Snipers, she portrays Kaldayev, a skilled member of the elite team brought together to face an increasingly dangerous threat.Together, Mitchell, Gruffudd, and Wallace help elevate Seven Snipers beyond a traditional action thriller, grounding its intense action in themes of loyalty, family, sacrifice, and survival.David Peck is a writer, speaker, and award-winning podcaster who works at the intersection of storytelling, social change, and meaningful dialogue.

Not to be confused with SEVEN SAMURAI, SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS, THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN, SE7EN, or SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS, it's SEVEN SNIPERS (2:53), a movie Dave proclaims is not a movie. It's a scenario. And sort of a good one. Just with some of the shittiest execution you've ever seen. First, there's Radha Mitchell as a retired sniper raising her soon-to-be 16-year-old daughter on an isloated farm in Australia. Okay, no problems there. Second, there's word that a nasty AF sniper by played Tim Roth is coming for Mitchell in order to kill her and probably do something else that will be completely obvious to anyone who has ever watched a movie. (Tim Roth as an elite sniper? As fine an actor as Roth is, he is neither Evan nor Dave's first choice to portray a killing machine. But whatever. Moving on.) Third, Mitchell calls in a favor, and one of her old military chums brings himself and four other elite snipers to guard the farm. It begs the question: How much money does elite fomer sniper Mitchell have? Fourth, ALL THESE ELITE SNIPERS STAND IN FRONT OF OPEN WINDOWS IN BROAD DAYLIGHT FOR THE ENTIRE RUNNING TIME. Fifth, enough. Just listen to us tear this thing apart. Over on Patreon, we watch Chris Pine's directorial debute POOLMAN.

Former Marine sniper AJ Pasciuti — author of the new book Dark Horse and host of the Combat Story podcast — joins the Chuck Toddcast for one of the most riveting and clear-eyed conversations about military service, leadership, and the realities of modern war. Pasciuti was 16 years old on September 11th, enlisted at 17, and eventually became the Marine who led the team that killed "Juba" — the notorious Iraqi sniper who uploaded videos of his American kills to the internet to taunt the U.S. military. He walks listeners through the entire hunt: how Marines studied Juba's uploaded footage to identify his patterns, how the team set a trap, how Pasciuti spotted Juba in his hide by catching the glint off the lens of a Sony Handycam, and how he knew within minutes that they'd gotten him — while emphasizing that he may have pulled the trigger but it was an entire team that brought Juba down. Pasciuti reflects on the strange experience of fighting enemies who saw themselves as freedom fighters rather than terrorists, why attention to detail is the trait that weeds out most sniper candidates, and how snipers are ultimately meant to combat the enemy emotionally as much as physically. The conversation broadens into a sweeping meditation on what military service teaches you about America — and where Pasciuti worries the country is heading. He calls the military one of the last bastions of the American dream, where opportunity is real but has to be earned, and argues that a culture promoting service to the greater good over the accumulation of wealth would make America measurably healthier.. Pasciuti is openly worried about political leadership infecting the values of the military, makes the case that empathy must be viewed as a strength rather than a weakness in military leadership, and insists his book is political but not partisan — it's about values. He offers a vital warning that the Taliban proved asymmetrical warfare can defeat a stronger foe, that drone warfare is dangerously dehumanizing combat by reducing casualties to dollars and cents, and that the most important thing any soldier carries home is their soul intact — something he says becomes harder every year as the social contract between America and its veterans erodes. Pasciuti describes seeing fear rather than hatred in the eyes of a dying enemy combatant, a moment that has stayed with him, and explains why he can't support any politician who describes a political opponent as an enemy. He shares his experience running for city council and personally knocking on thousands of doors, his frustration with the financial barriers to entry in modern politics, and his belief that current discourse simply doesn't allow for real dialogue. He closes with the most powerful observation of the episode, made for Memorial Day: the holiday isn't about those who came home — it's about those who didn't — and anyone calling for war should be required to first sit down and have a conversation with a Gold Star family.

Chuck Todd opens with a brutal verdict on the emerging Iran "deal": it's just a worse version of the Obama agreement Trump once tore up, Iran has effectively avoided every stated goal Trump and Israel set out to achieve, and Tehran retains control of the Strait of Hormuz — meaning this is unambiguously a loss for the United States, no matter how the administration tries to spin it. He argues Trump bit off far more than he could chew, that Bibi Netanyahu put his faith into Donald Trump (which never ends well), and that America's standing has been diminished in ways that will reverberate for years. Iran's regime won't be able to repress its own people forever, He notes, but the window to actually topple it during the protests was missed — and Gulf state allies will now be dealing with the Iranians for much longer than they bargained for, having quietly hoped the U.S. and Israel would do their dirty work for them. The political damage at home is just as severe. He cites the Wall Street Journal christening the past seven days as "the week that broke Trump's hold on Congress," with the president now underwater on every single issue, consumer confidence unlikely to recover before the midterms, the Senate unable to fund DHS through reconciliation because Trump makes bipartisan solutions impossible, and his January 6th slush fund producing a backlash that won't go away — with Republican senators visibly wavering. Chuck's verdict on the lame duck arriving early: this is a failed first two years of the Trump presidency, and the stronger his grip on the party, the weaker that party becomes in general elections. He blasts Todd Blanche for turning the DOJ into Trump's personal legal team (Blanche should be impeached, Todd argues, and nothing coming out of this DOJ can be trusted), tears into the long-awaited DNC autopsy of the 2024 loss as paralyzed, tone-deaf, and poorly thought-out — naming Ken Martin as the wrong person to lead the DNC and noting that the simple truth Democrats can't bring themselves to face is that the party is perceived as too liberal in a country with more conservatives than progressives. He flags Mike Duggan dropping out of the Michigan governor's race after his hoped-for contentious Democratic primary never materialized, and Tulsi Gabbard's resignation as DNI proving that the position itself was never really necessary Then, former Marine sniper AJ Pasciuti — author of the new book Dark Horse and host of the Combat Story podcast — joins the Chuck Toddcast for one of the most riveting and clear-eyed conversations about military service, leadership, and the realities of modern war. Pasciuti was 16 years old on September 11th, enlisted at 17, and eventually became the Marine who led the team that killed "Juba" — the notorious Iraqi sniper who uploaded videos of his American kills to the internet to taunt the U.S. military. He walks listeners through the entire hunt: how Marines studied Juba's uploaded footage to identify his patterns, how the team set a trap, how Pasciuti spotted Juba in his hide by catching the glint off the lens of a Sony Handycam, and how he knew within minutes that they'd gotten him — while emphasizing that he may have pulled the trigger but it was an entire team that brought Juba down. Pasciuti reflects on the strange experience of fighting enemies who saw themselves as freedom fighters rather than terrorists, why attention to detail is the trait that weeds out most sniper candidates, and how snipers are ultimately meant to combat the enemy emotionally as much as physically. The conversation broadens into a sweeping meditation on what military service teaches you about America — and where Pasciuti worries the country is heading.

He closes with the most powerful observation of the episode, made for Memorial Day: the holiday isn't about those who came home — it's about those who didn't — and anyone calling for war should be required to first sit down and have a conversation with a Gold Star family. Finally, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine for a thoughtful Memorial Day reflection on how countries honor their war dead — and how the rituals they choose reveal who they understand themselves to be. He traces Memorial Day back to its actual origins in the Civil War and its 600,000 American dead, including the powerful and often-forgotten story of formerly enslaved people who reburied Union soldiers from a mass grave to give them the dignified resting place their country had failed to provide. He explains that the date was chosen not because of a specific battle but because of when flowers bloom, that Southern states kept parallel remembrance traditions for the Confederacy, and that Memorial Day's secondary role as the unofficial start of summer has always made it a uniquely American hybrid of grief and gathering — which, Chuck argues, is actually one of its virtues, because coming together is how communities find common ground. He surveys how other nations approach the same task: WWI created a uniquely Canadian identity around remembrance, Russia centers its V-Day celebrations on WWII triumph as the foundation of national identity, Germany approaches its war dead cautiously and somberly with a deep awareness of historical responsibility, and Japan frames remembrance through loss, peace, and explicit anti-war reflection. His larger argument is that the story and tone of a country's remembrance day reveals exactly how it understands itself — what it celebrates, what it confronts, and what it would rather not look at. He closes with the smallest but most important reminder of the day: you don't say "Happy Memorial Day." He also answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.

Gird your loins, the latest Movie Squad instalment has arrived. Simon Miraudo reunites with Tristan Fidler and together they bring two new reviews to their fashionable taskmaster, Breakfast host Pamela Boland. First up, Tristan reviews The Devil Wears Prada 2, the long-awaited sequel to Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway's iconic 2006 fash-com (fashion comedy, not fascist comedy). Pam saw it too, so listen in to find out whether or not it's (in the words of Miranda Priestly) groundbreaking or dirty, tired and paunchy. Then, Simon and Tristan jointly review Warwick Thornton's Wolfram, which is also a sequel… of sorts. The great Aussie filmmaker follows up 2017's Sweet Country with another brutal tale of colonial violence, but this time, there's perhaps a slightly more optimistic outlook. It stars Deborah Mailman and Pedrea Jackson.

This week on The Commentary Booth, Jamie Apps and Corrina Mabey lock into the crosshairs of Australian action thriller Seven Snipers, a tense, character-driven film that blends high-stakes action with an unexpectedly emotional core.Starring Radha Mitchell and Tim Roth, the film follows a retired sniper forced out of hiding on a rural Australian farm when a dangerous warlord resurfaces, threatening her daughter and reigniting a deadly past.What unfolds isn't just a battle of bullets; it's a story about survival, trust, and the uneasy bond between a mother and daughter pushed to their limits.Jamie and Corrina unpack the film's surprising depth, from its brutal action sequences and standout performances to its focus on maternal instinct over military spectacle. They also discuss the film's unique visual choices, including distinct sniper perspectives, and whether the emotional stakes land as strongly as the action.Highlights Breakdown: - Why Seven Snipers isn't the film you expect, and why that works - Tim Roth as “The Dragon”, a quiet but terrifying presence - The emotional core, a mother-daughter relationship under fire - Brutal, close-range action vs limited but noticeable VFX moments - Unique sniper POV visuals that subtly elevate the storytelling - Behind-the-scenes insights from Sandra SciberrasIn our exclusive bonus interview with director Sandra Sciberras, Sandra opens up about what drew her to the script, the psychology behind casting Tim Roth as The Dragon, the spontaneous rainstorm that made the climactic duel unforgettable, how the distinct crosshair idea was born in the editing room, and why Kathryn Bigelow (The Hurt Locker, Zero Dark Thirty) has been an icon to her since her early career. It's a candid, passionate conversation with a filmmaker who truly bleeds story.This gripping new Australian action thriller is in cinemas now!This week's episode is brought to you byAustralian Wrestling CardsCheck out more great content from Pario Magazine on our website.-------------------------------------------------------------SUPPORT PARIO MAGAZINE & THE COMMENTARY BOOTH- PATREON- BUY MERCH- AMAZON PRIME VIDEO- TUBEBUDDY- Subscribe to AEW Plus using my code (q0yydoz) to earn $10 in FITE credit- Shop Online With Honey- Shop Online With SatechiMY EQUIPMENT- Elgato Facecam- Rode PodMic- Elgato Wave Mic Arm LP- Streamlabs Talk StudioFOLLOW JAMIE ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Twitter- Facebook- Instagram- TikTokFOLLOW PARIO MAGAZINE ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Twitter- Facebook- Instagram

This week, Nole sits down with Barry Nisbet, a retired Canadian Army Sniper with 15 years of service and multiple deployments to the Balkans and Afghanistan, and Mir Bahmanyar, an author, historian, and former member of the US Army's 2nd Ranger Battalion.Together with Gordon Cullen, Barry and Mir co-authored the book Send It: Canada's Snipers at War in Afghanistan. In this episode, we strip away the romanticized Hollywood myth of the lone-wolf sniper to discuss the brutal reality of sniper selection, the agonizing physical toll of stalking exercises, and the heavy weight of operating downrange. Barry shares incredible firsthand stories, including a wild reunion with a US Green Beret he met at Ranger School, the terrifying aftermath of an IED blast, and the absolute relief of having an AC-130 Gunship overhead. Mir also drops some invaluable knowledge on the harsh realities of the publishing world for anyone looking to write a book of their own.Whether you're interested in military history, the tactical mindset, or just hearing incredible stories of brotherhood from the Global War on Terror, you won't want to miss this one.Grab a copy of the book: Send It: Canada's Snipers at War in Afghanistan by Gordon Cullen, Barry Nisbet, and Mir Bahmanyar – available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Indigo.Big thank you to My Epic and Facedown Records for the use of their song "Hail" in our podcast!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dz2RZThURTU&ab_channel=FacedownRecordsGet signed up for the next trip with Hold the Line!https://www.fireupprogram.org/hold-the-lineThe Fire You Carry on YouTube.Sign up for a class at The Fire Up Program!https://www.fireupprogram.com/programsThe Fire Up Progam video.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I__ErPW46Ec&t=12s&ab_channel=FireUpProgramThe Fire You Carry Instagram.https://www.instagram.com/thefireyoucarry/Donate to The Fire Up Program.https://www.fireupprogram.com/donateThe Fire Up Program Instagram.https://www.instagram.com/fireup_program/Kevin's Instagram.https://www.instagram.com/kevinpwelsh/?hl=en

He survived the fight. But the war didn't end when he came home. This is what sniper stories leave out.

To watch the episode in studio, visit: https://youtu.be/-7m0tF6qYlUWe break down what it really takes to make it through Ranger selection, sniper training, and combat operations where decisions happen in seconds and consequences last forever. From direct action missions to overwatch and close-range engagements, Dan shares the moments that don't make it into movies.He walks us through intense combat, including a 45-minute firefight supported by machine guns, mortars, Apaches, and AC-130s, and the reality of gear failures, pressure, and making life-or-death calls under stress. But this conversation goes further. We dive into the aftermath of war — PTSD, identity loss, addiction, psychosis, and a suicide attempt. Dan shares what actually helped him rebuild: sobriety, jiu-jitsu, yoga, music therapy, trauma-release work, and faith.

Military snipers were trained sharpshooters assigned to kill a man with one perfect shot. These highly disciplined marksman often stalked a target for days waiting for just the right moment to squeeze the trigger. Lurking in the shadows alone, the deadly stealth of the sniper made him the most feared man on the battlefield. As a young hunter, Chuck Mawhinney grew up with a gun in his hand. In October 1967, Mawhinney was just 19 years old when he made his first kill as a scout sniper in Vietnam. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this Old Front Line Q&A episode, we tackle a fascinating range of questions from listeners about life, death, and survival on the battlefields of the First World War. We begin by exploring whether veterans of the conflict were ever allowed to be buried within the official war cemeteries alongside the comrades who fell during the war, and look at the rules established by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission after the creation of the Imperial War Graves system. Did any veterans later return to the battlefields to be laid to rest where they once fought?We also examine the shadowy world of sniping on the Western Front. How common were snipers, how were they selected, and what training did they receive as the war progressed? We discuss the evolution of sniping from the early dominance of German marksmen to the later development of organised British sniping schools.From there we move to the mud of the Ypres Salient during the Battle of Passchendaele in 1917, asking how stretcher bearers managed to rescue wounded men across the shattered and waterlogged battlefield.Finally, we recommend some essential reading for anyone wanting to better understand the fighting around Ypres and the wider story of the Third Ypres offensive.Main Image: Battle of Pilckem Ridge. Stretcher bearers struggle in mud up to their knees to carry a wounded man to safety near Boesinghe, 1 August 1917.

Some people win by volume. Others win by precision. The key is knowing which one you are. Show Notes In this episode of Shark Theory, Baylor breaks down a powerful analogy that explains why different approaches to success can both be effective. There are two types of soldiers in war: the militia and the snipers. The militia are the frontline forces. High volume. High activity. Constant motion. They kick in doors, move quickly, and engage often. In life, this looks like the salesperson making hundreds of calls, the entrepreneur trying multiple ventures, the person who believes momentum comes from sheer action. Then there are the snipers. Snipers are strategic. Patient. Highly selective. They don't fire often, but when they do, it's intentional. They position themselves carefully. They anticipate movement. They wait for alignment. In life, this looks like someone who studies trends, aligns with specific audiences, and moves only when the shot is right. Neither approach is wrong. The problem happens when militia try to be snipers, or snipers feel pressured to operate like militia. When you chase someone else's style instead of owning your own, frustration follows. Baylor shares how understanding his own "sniper" approach in speaking allowed him to position strategically, align with the right audiences, and command higher fees rather than chasing every opportunity. The deeper lesson is this: wars are not won by one style alone. They're won by understanding roles, strengths, and timing. In some areas of your life, you may be high volume. In others, highly precise. The key is awareness. Know your lane. Own it. And be the best at it. What You'll Learn in This Episode The difference between volume-based and precision-based strategies Why neither approach is superior The danger of copying someone else's style How positioning creates leverage Why patience is a competitive advantage How to identify which bucket you operate in Featured Quote "Some people win by firing a thousand shots. Others win by making one count. Know which one you are."

If you really want to bonesmash, you need to do it with a cybertruck...Remember last week sometime when I uploaded that video excerpt from my livestream I titled, "Matan Commits Clavicular Bromocide and Leaves the Scene?" Well, ha ha, the Matrix apparently likes puns and rewarded mine with something more tangible.  I still call BS to GEN-Z claiming "autistic" and neurodivergent to excuse their bizarre and illogical, often inappropriate and awkward behavior.  It's a lie most of the time. It's a cop out for being really bad influencers.  There are far worse people out there than Clavicular.  Look up looksmaxxing "Kent" if you're really that bored and want to sacrific braincells. Remember when everyone who went on the gluten-free CULT bandwagon began claiming they had celiac disease? Same thing, except now it's trendy to falsely claim you have autism when really you're just a freak with no social skills. Regarding everyone in 2015 claiming they were celiac, that would be nearly impossible given how rare that truly is, and other reasons that deal more with the fraud of allopathy you can learn by watching my talks with Dr. Glidden, ND. Video Version#fakenatty #badlook #noblecause #misrepresentationGet Dr Monzo's Whole Food Supplements for your 90 Essential Revitalizing Nutrientswith code BB5 here: https://SemperFryLLC.comClick His Picture on the Right for the AZURE WELL products and use code BB5 for your discount.Find clickable portals to Dr Monzo and Dr Glidden on Dan's site, and it's the home of the best hot sauce, his book, and Clean Source Creatine-HCLPods & Exclusives AD-FREE!https://patreon.com/c/DisguisetheLimitsTwitter Account: https://x.com/KristosCastDon't be a schmoe, Support the Show! https://buymeacoffee.com/BaalBustershttps://paypal.me/BaalBustershttps://GiveSendGo.com/BaalBustersBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ba-al-busters-broadcast--5100262/support.

Send us a textA rifle on a rooftop isn't a movie moment—it's a profound responsibility. We sit with retired Canadian Army sniper Barry Nisbet and author and former U.S. Army Ranger Mir Bahmanyar to unpack what snipers really do when deployed to places like Bosnia and Afghanistan and why their new book, Send It, pushes past the myths of their missions and duties. Barry brings the ground truth from five operational tours and a rare first for a Canadian corporal at U.S. Army Ranger School. Mir adds the historian's eye and a Ranger's respect for standards, sharing why he pulled real practitioners into the manuscript to keep the record straight.We walk through the job as it is lived: building a sniper from disciplined infantry roots, the strict rules of engagement that govern every trigger press, and the invisible victories of overwatch that keep patrols alive. Barry breaks down night insertions, fragile hides, the exposure that comes with calling in artillery or air, and the nerve it takes to exfiltrate when the sun rises and the enemy knows you're there. The conversation lingers where most war stories don't—accepting risk without bravado, carrying loss without turning it into spectacle, and holding fast to the internal standards that separate professionals from pose.Mir challenges the hype that flattens soldiers into slogans and war into entertainment. He argues for honest military history that preserves detail, context and consequence, and he credits Canadian sniper teams with a level of professionalism and restraint too often missing in popular narratives. Along the way we touch on leadership that actually protects people, the mental skills forged in stalking lanes and fieldcraft, and the quiet rituals—dogs, long walks, small places far from crowds—that help recalibrate after hard tours.If you care about modern military history, leadership under pressure, or how precision and patience save lives, this one will stick with you.

In this week's episode we continue our look into the vital role of Snipers on the Western Front. From informal and disorganised beginnings, we explore the emergence of the ‘art' of sniping and how by 1918 they became one of the most feared and efficient weapons on the battlefield.

In this week's episode we begin a multi-part journey into the secretive and highly dangerous world of sniping in the Great War. From its ad-hoc early employment, to the development of dedicated sniper schools and tactical advances on the battlefield, we explore a method of fighting, which to many came to symbolise the deadly nature of trench warfare.

First a quick note which the marketing weasel ordered me to announce. This week I received an email from Apple which read: "We're thrilled to share some incredible news: History of South Africa podcast has been selected by our editors as one of Apple Podcasts' Best Shows of 2025! Congratulations on this fantastic achievement and for creating one of the most compelling shows of the year. We're so excited to spotlight your work.” So to all the listeners and my supporters, for all your wonderful comments and suggestions, may we continue to survive the present in order to understand the past. 250 is what is known in maths as a 5-smooth number - none of its prime factors are greater than five. Factor 250 that is 250 ÷ 2 = 125 and 125 = 5 × 5 × 5. So the Prime Factors are all less than five. Strange but true. Culturally 250 is fascinating too - in Mandarin slang, Chinese, the number 250 pronounced er bai wu is an insult meaning idiot or simpleton. Which is apt, because a certain American president number 47 who is referred to as er bai wu is going to preside over his country's 250th birthday celebrations in 2026. When we left off last episode, a British column of the 1/24 and 2/24, a host of irregular mounted men of the Natal Carbineers, the Natal Native Contingent and the Native Pioneers and their commanding officer Lieutenant Colonel Glyn had entered Zululand by way of Rorke's Drift and approached the kwaSogetle home of amaQungebeni inkosi Sihayo. 4700 British troops and support personnel, 220 wagons, 2000 oxen, 82 carts, 67 mules. It took over an hour for the column to pass a point it was so large. And as you heard, Cetshwayo kaMpande had decided that because this column was the largest, it was going to get special amabutho treatment. Lord Chelmsford had arrived at Helpmekaar on the eve of the invasion, and had taken over as commander of the column, which was to increase tension amongst the officers. Chelmsford tended to micromanage, and Glyn was highly experienced. Later, when a catastrophe unfolded, controversy would rage about who in fact was in charge. Glyn was already resentful that his role had been usurped. If you recall last episode, I explained how he'd put together the regiment in England, paid for his colonelcy, then led the regiment through the end of the 9th Frontier War and here was Chelmsford and his retinue, taking over. Here we are, Shepstone leading the central column, or Number 3 Column as it was known, with Glyn glowering. Column 1 was on the right flank, down the coast, crossing the lower Thukela with 5000 men under Colonel Charles Pearson comprised of the Naval Brigade, 2/3rd 60th Rifles, the 99th Regiment, Natal Native Contingent and artillery. Column two was Durnfords although technically it was closely attached to Glyn's Column 3 - and both 2 and 3 were set to operate more closely than the Pearsons' first column which was to head to the lower Thukela, cross the mighty river opposite the Zulu kraal at Gingingdlovu, advance to Eshowe and push on to Ondini. However, Pearson had been told to advance cautiously, and consolidate his men in Eshowe before continuing. He would end up besieged in Eshowe he had moved so slowly. Thus the arrival at Sihayo's homestead kwaSogetle less than a day's march across Rorke's Drift. Sogetle was a natural flat-topped fortress which rose over 1000 feet from the valley floor, its approaches were strewn with boulders, it was steep and seemingly impregnable. The British faced a tough assignment. Had Cetshwayo kaMpande or chief Sihayo decided to rather defend this citadel, the battle would have no doubt been far more bloody. But the fortress was defended by only a small group of Sihayo's men including one of his youngest sons Mkhumbikazulu. Most warriors including Siyaho himself and all his other sons had marched off to oNdini 116 kilometers away to join the main Zulu army.

Text a Message to the ShowIn the summer of 2025 my hometown of Kansas City, Kansas, lost two officers murdered in the line of duty: Deputy Elijah Ming and Officer Hunter Simoncic.  Because they were killed just 30 days apart, we had two large, complex, line of duty death funerals at the local major league soccer stadium, one funeral just a few weeks after the other.  We are still grieving and trying to process these losses, and as part of that process I wanted to offer our experiences as a resource to other agencies.The guest for this interview Captain Shenee Davis-Kross from the police department.  She was involved in the logistics and planning for both funerals, starting with the motorcycle escorts for the fallen and extending to an almost endless list of other responsibilities in the Op Plan.  Though Captain Davis was just one part of a much larger team, I felt she represented the group's experience really well and I think you'll learn a lot from what she went through.Music is by the WesterliesHey Chaplain Podcast Episode 126Tags:Line of Duty Death, Ceremonies, Family, Funeral, Helicopters, Liaisons, Logistics, Motorcycles, Murder, Police, Sheriff, Snipers, Sporting KC, SWAT, Taps, Kansas City, KansasSupport the showThanks for Listening!

Since the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk last month, pastors across America have been turning their spiritual guns on one another . . . condemning and criticizing how others responded to his death. Some have even gone so far as to call pastors cowards, question their calling, and pressure people to leave their churches.But here's the truth: when pastors preach their personal convictions as though they were Bible absolutes, they cross a line. It doesn't build the church — it sows division, condemnation, and pride in the Body of Christ.This month on the podcast, Dean addresses the issue head on and brings balanced truth from God's Word to remind us as shepherds: “My convictions guide me. Bible absolutes ground me. But love must govern me.”

What happens when a collection of ordinary people — from military veterans to Minnesota campers — step into the woods and walk away with something they can never unsee? In this chilling compilation episode, Jeremiah Byron takes us into the raw, unfiltered world of call-ins from across the United States, where witnesses recount violent, mysterious, and heart-pounding encounters with Bigfoot.You'll hear firsthand stories from the glacial moraines of Foothills State Forest in Minnesota, where cantaloupe-sized rocks were hurled through the air — and one witness was struck in the shoulder by a smaller “warning shot.” A former Marine sniper describes the night his unit watched a 9-foot figure pick up a 120-pound metal target and throw it across a field — before being ordered to never speak of it again. And from the shadows of Fort Hall Reservation in Idaho, a terrifying scream echoes out, followed by a pounding on the window... of a boy who had just dreamed of Bigfoot.These are not legends. These are not secondhand stories. These are real people — with real fear, real emotion, and real scars.
