What's your most loved and least favorite song on Madonna's Immaculate Collection?! For the last of our four-episode series of Greatest Hits episodes, Dan chose the best-selling solo artist collection of all-time. Good times ranking songs we're all familiar with but not huge fans of.  Unsurprisingly, these four straight white males still had lots of fun things to say and recall about the ever-present queen. This was recently removed for third-party copyright for reasons we can't figure out. Still fun without the Madonna tunes or you can listen with the Music on Youtube. Listen at WeWillRankYouPod.com, Apple, Spotify and your local dancefloor.  Follow us and weigh in with your favorites on Facebook, Instagram and Threads @wewillrankyoupod .FILE UNDER/SPOILERS:Blonde, bops, Borderline, brunette, Burning Up, Causing a Commotion, Cherish, cone bra, Crazy for You, dance music, Deee-Lite, Joe DiMaggio, Express Yourself, Holiday, Holiday Rap, Into the Groove, Justify My Love, Lenny Kravitz, La Isla Bonita, lace top, Like a Prayer, Like a Virgin, Live to Tell, Lucky Star, Material Girl, MC Miker & DJ Sven, Marilyn Monroe, Open Your Heart, Papa Don't Preach, Sean Penn, Shep Pettibone, pop, Iggy Pop, Possum Dixon, Prince, queen, Rescue Me, Leon Robinson, Salsoul Orchestra, sexy whispering, talking, too many hits, True Blue, Truth or Dare, Vision Quest, Vogue, Wayne's World,  Weird Al Yankovic, 1990.        US: http://www.WeWillRankYouPod.com wewillrankyoupod@gmail.com http://www.facebook.com/WeWillRankYouPod http://www.instagram.com/WeWillRankYouPod http://www.Threads.com/WeWillRankYouPod http://www.YourOlderBrother.com (Sam's music page) http://www.YerDoinGreat.com (Adam's music page) https://open.spotify.com/user/dancecarbuzz (Dan's playlists)

On this week's podcast, I speak with Royal Australian Corps of Signals (RA Sigs) veteran Emma Donaldson. Emma served for 20 years, both full-time and as a reservist. Emma served in several units throughout Australia. Emma served at 152 Signal Squadron attached to the Special Air Service Regiment in Perth. Emma excelled in her role and would later meet her future husband while serving at 152 Squadron. Emma is a veteran/wife, Mother and the first I have interviewed talking about the role of wives and children back at home while their partners are deployed overseas. Emma met and is married to Mark Donalson VC. Mark served in the SASR and was awarded the Victoria Cross for his action in combat in Afghanistan in 2008. Emma talks openly about the day she found out that Mark would be awarded the highest bravery award, the Victoria Cross. Emma talks about the good and the bad aspects of the Victoria Cross on families. Emma supported Mark through 7 tours of duty while balancing home life as a full-time Mum. Emma also talks about how important the support of the wives and partners is while their partners are deployed. Emma speaks about the loss of friends, her postnatal depression, and her miscarriage, the struggle that all veterans and first responders face when transitioning out of uniform. Emma also talks about rediscovering her identity and purpose as a civilian. Emma now works as a Veterans Liaison Officer for Legacy Club Services, advocating for veterans and their families. This is a raw and honest chat about the true cost of service as a veteran and life at home supporting your partner of a special forces operator and rediscovering yourself post-service.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 10ú lá de mí Dheireadh Fómhair, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1980 tháinig sé amach I rith 12 mhí chuaigh 60 míle duine ón tír chuigh Meiriceá de réir an ambasáid Meiriceánach. I 2003 tháinig sé amach go raibh na leantóirí Éireannach don rugbaí ag iarradh taisteal chuig an Astráil don Corn Domhanda ach bhí roinnt acu fágtha gan ticéad tar éis iad a ceannach ó chomhlach Briotanach agus bhí na Gardaí ag fiosrú é de bharr caimiléireacht. I 2007 bhí slatiascaire agus daoine a raibh ina chónaí san áit ar buile mar go raibh substaint bhán san Abhainn san Aonach Urmhumhan. Dúirt an Slatiascaire Ormond go raibh a lán truailliú ag dul ar aghaidh. Bhí an abhainn san Aonach Urmhumhan dath bán agus bhí eagla ar dhaoine gur mharaíodh a lán iasc. I 2008 bhí cúpla teach tábhairne ón chontae ag glacadh páirt sa tráth na gceist náisiúnta. Eagraithe ón VFI agus Stiléir Éireannach, bhí sé seo ar siúil gach bliain chun airgead a bhailiú do Ghrúpa Athshlánú. Sin Madonna le True Blue – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1986. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 2000 chan Britney Spears don chéad uair sa Bhreatain nuair a chan sí do trí oíche I Wembley Arena. I 2009 fuair Stephen Gately ó Boyzone bás go tobann ag aois 33 nuair a bhí sé ar a laethanta saoire I Majorca. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Martin Kemp sa Bhreatain I 1961 agus rugadh amhránaí agus aisteoir Jodie Benson I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1961 agus seo chuid de amhrán. Beidh mé ar ais libh an tseachtain seo chugainn le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 10th of October, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1980: During the last 12 months alone, more than 60,000 Irish people visited the UNited States, according to the US Embassy in Dublin. 2003: irish rugby fans that were hoping to travel to next montsh world cup in Australia have been left without tickets after sending money to a british company which is being investigated for fraud. 2007 - Local anglers and members of the public were infuriated following a spill of a white substance into the Nenagh River. The Nenagh Ormond Anglers said a large volume of the polluting material emerged from the Clareen Stream. The Nenagh River turned a whitish colour for a long stretch, prompting fears of a major fish kill in the renowned brown trout, and Outrage as the Nenagh River turned white.  2008 - Several Tipperary pubs are taking part in the National Rehab/Powers Whiskey Pub Quiz. Organised in association with the Vintners Federation of Ireland (VFI) and Irish Distillers, the annual national pub quiz raises funds for the Rehab Group. The winning team from each pub will progress to the Tipperary county final.  That was Madonna with True Blue – the biggest song on this day in 1986 Onto music news on this day In 2000 Britney Spears made her UK live debut when she played the first of three sold out nights at London's Wembley Arena. 2009 Boyzone singer Stephen Gately died suddenly at the age of 33 while on holiday in Majorca.

On this week's podcast, I speak with former US Marine / Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Officer / DEA Agent Bret Hamilton. Bret served in the US Marine Corps as a commissioned Officer. Bret deployed in the 1 st Gulf War. Bret left the Marines and, still having a willingness to serve, he joined the Charlotte–Mecklenburg Police Department as a Patrol Officer. After a couple of years, Bret applied and was accepted to join the DEA Drug Enforcement Agency. Bret worked undercover and worked throughout the US. In 2009, Bret became a member of the Foreign Deployed Advisory Support Team (FAST). Bret deployed to Afghanistan in 2010; he was promoted to team leader after his first tour. In 2011, Bret deployed for his second tour to Afghanistan, working with Task Group 66. On this deployment, Bret was shot in the ass. After Bret recovered from being shot, he deployed in 2012 for his third and final deployment to Afghanistan. There, he met and worked alongside Heston Russell team commander of November Platoon. Bret continued to work in the DEA and was the Agent in charge in the state of Alabama. Recently, an interview conducted with Journalist Mark Willacy was used in the case against Heston Russell. Willacy changed what Bret said in the interview. Bret actually said he had nothing but high praise for Heston and the Commandos, and they were some of the most professional soldiers he ever served with, not what Willacy stated that he never wanted to work with Commandos and Heston. This is a raw and honest account. Presenter: Adam Blum Guest: Bret Hamilton Editor: Kyle Watkins

In the final episode of this series, we got a chance to chat with Chief Del Manak before he sailed off into retirement.  Chief Manak made it through a 35-year policing career and spent the past nearly 10 years as the Chief Constable.  A graduate of JIBC Class #44, recruited by Vancouver Police, however Del spent the majority of his career with the Victoria Police Department.Del tells us about his career path and some details about why he chose police work.  It becomes clear that giving back to his community was very important to him.  You'll hear a great quote from Del about some of the differences in police resourcing in Vancouver and Victoria.  He also reflects on some of the great times working with Sgt. Doug Bond (a great mentor and legend).Over the years, Chief Manak found himself challenging the antipolice rhetoric coming from elected officials; for many years the public sentiment was that they couldn't believe how patient he was in that process.  Chief Manak is not proud of turning over an under resourced police department to Chief Wilson.  He believes VicPD needs at least an additional 35 to 40 officers.We talk about many other important topics and get some stark opinions from Del.  The True Blue Podcast wishes Chief Manak and his family a long and happy retirement.“Go Islanders”https://vicpd.ca/https://truebluevic.ca/https://www.taylorswift.com/https://www.nhl.com/islanders/** Bonus Area Chiefs Episode with Chief Fiona Wilson **             10 Oct 2025Sound editing done by Todd Mason.More about the Victoria City Police Union (VCPU): - Tweet us at https://twitter.com/VicPD_Union - Follow us on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/vicpd_union/ - Find us on FaceBook at https://www.facebook.com/truebluevictoria/ - Visit our website for information at https://truebluevic.ca/ - Email us at media@vcpu.ca for any media inquiries or requests to be on the True Blue Podcast

On this weeks podcast, I'm joined by Victorian Police Sergeant Mark Thomas and the founder of the Code 9 Foundation. Mark joined the Victorian Police in 1996 and has spent over 29 years in the force. However, over the course of his career with the Victorian Police Force, Mark had attended many distressing scenes and usually recovered well, that is, until he was called out to a suicide.  Nearly a decade later, the situation came to a head, and Mark was hospitalised. During this period, he was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety. Mark is the founder of the Code 9 Foundation. The Code 9 Foundation provides a place of support for current & veteran professional first responders & 000 operators who live with PTSD, depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions that result from their service to the community. Mark talks about the hard road back. This is a deeply personal story, one of true resilience and overcoming adversity, and finding peace and light at the end of the dark tunnel.

Thanks to Chief Dean Duthie from Saanich Police for participating in our podcast series.  Dean is the 18th Chief of Police for Saanich since 1906.  Chief Duthie had a variety of experiences throughout his career progression.  His skills took him to many important investigative roles that included the Saanich Drug Enforcement Team and the Major Crime Unit.As many of our listeners know, Saanich Police members ran towards the sound of gunfire during the 2022 bank robbery in their jurisdiction.  Many of them suffered physical, emotional and psychological injuries but gratefully it seems like Saanich Police have worked hard to limit the long-term damage.   Dean reflects on that horrible incident during this episode.We get some insight from Dean on the state of policing and the criminal justice system.  He perceives the rapid changes in communications, new equipment, appropriate funding and lastly the breakdowns in systems around the world of policing and subsequent downloading of services that police should not be involved in.Episode 5: Chief Del Manak – Victoria Police Department                               26 SepSound editing done by Todd Mason.More about the Victoria City Police Union (VCPU): - Tweet us at https://twitter.com/VicPD_Union - Follow us on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/vicpd_union/ - Find us on FaceBook at https://www.facebook.com/truebluevictoria/ - Visit our website for information at https://truebluevic.ca/ - Email us at media@vcpu.ca for any media inquiries or requests to be on the True Blue Podcast

It was great to chat with Todd before his retirement from his RCMP career which started over 28 years ago.  After graduating from Depot, the RCMP sent him to Alberta as a young officer.  In fact, he was so young that the Mounties sent him to work as an undercover operator because of those young looks!  His career continued in the Yukon and throughout BC for a few years before his promotion to Sergeant which landed him in the Westshore Detachment.  He had a few short-term jobs within the E Division office in Victoria before returning as Detachment Commander in Westshore.Todd's current position as “police chief” is one of the most complex in Canada, specifically he reports to 7 different governing bodies. (5 municipalities and 2 first nations) The Detachment strength is 125 members and becoming busier every year.  They provide members with good work options both locally and to Nunavut in an officer exchange program that is unique in the RCMP.We take time to chat about important things police do in his community and Todd makes a point to shout out Cole Brewer for his hard work with so many SD62 students.  We reflected on the death of Constable Sarah Beckett (Todd was her former Watch Commander) and how thankful he was to have the community support his members and Sarah's family over the years.  It sounds like the Detachment is in good spirits and is ready to step up to the next challenges.Todd will be building homes in retirement so give him a call if you need those services:  https://www.qualisbuilders.ca/Episode 4: Chief Dean Duthie – Saanich Police Department                   19 Sep 2025Episode 5: Chief Del Manak – Victoria Police Department                        26 Sep 2025Sound editing done by Todd Mason.More about the Victoria City Police Union (VCPU): - Tweet us at https://twitter.com/VicPD_Union - Follow us on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/vicpd_union/ - Find us on FaceBook at https://www.facebook.com/truebluevictoria/ - Visit our website for information at https://truebluevic.ca/ - Email us at media@vcpu.ca for any media inquiries or requests to be on the True Blue Podcast

True Blue Conversations is inclusive of all stories. On this podcast, I speak with Zach Rolfe BM. Zach is a former infantry soldier from the 1st Battalion Royal Australian Regiment and Northern Territory Police Officer. In 2010, Zach enlisted in the Australian Army, serving in Afghanistan with the 1st Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment. Zach discharged from the Army in 2015. Zach applied to be a Police Officer and was accepted by the Northern Territory force, enrolling at the academy in Darwin in May 2016. Zach graduated as dux of his squad and was posted to Alice Springs in Central Australia – his first preference. In December 2016, during his first week with the NT Police, he rescued two tourists from flood waters near Alice Springs, for which he and a colleague were awarded the Bravery Medal in 2018. In the same year, Zach was awarded the Hong Kong Bravery Medal, becoming the first foreigner honoured by the Hong Kong government.  He joined the Alice Springs Immediate Response Team (IRT) in November 2017. On the 9 th of November 2019, Zach was sent to a remote community to serve an arrest warrant for a young Aboriginal man named Kumanjayi Walker, who was an offender with a history of offences. He was shot by Zach and later died during an attempted arrest in Yuendumu, Northern Territory, after Walker had stabbed Zach with scissors and threatened to kill Zach and his Partner. Four days after the incident, Zac was charged with murder. In 2022, Zach was found not guilty of murder. This is a complex story that needs to be heard. In this podcast, Zac talks about the shooting, losing his purpose and identity, and the mental toll this has taken on him and his family.

Chief Constable Ian Lawson started his policing career in the RCMP back in 1988.  He's spent most of his RCMP career on Vancouver Island and after 32 years' service he accepted the Chief Constable position in Central Saanich.  Ian was the Primary Investigator on the BC Rail corruption scandal where Bribery and Fraud charges were pursued.  One of Ian's favourite career moves was to become the Detachment Commander in Shawnigan Lake, a position he relates closely to his current job in Central Saanich.  Recruiting new officers to Central Saanich has been a challenge for the past number of years but they've been able to secure 2 or 3 seats for recruits to attend the JIBC this year and next.  Central Saanich has not signed on to the integrated K-9 service but does have several opportunities for his members to work in other integrated units.Ian tells a story about how repeat criminals on court conditions used to be held in custody and how now it's frustrating to see the Bail Reform Act not being applied correctly.  Chief Lawson mentioned his concerns about hospital wait times and ability to respond to crime on the water.  We get Ian to chat about Regionalization/Amalgamation/Integration from his perspective.  https://www.cspolice.ca/Episode 3: Superintendent Todd Preston – Westshore Detachment    12 Sep 2025Episode 4: Chief Dean Duthie – Saanich Police Department                  19 Sep 2025Episode 5: Chief Del Manak – Victoria Police Department                       26 Sep 2025Sound editing done by Todd Mason.More about the Victoria City Police Union (VCPU): - Tweet us at https://twitter.com/VicPD_Union - Follow us on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/vicpd_union/ - Find us on FaceBook at https://www.facebook.com/truebluevictoria/ - Visit our website for information at https://truebluevic.ca/ - Email us at media@vcpu.ca for any media inquiries or requests to be on the True Blue Podcast

Chief Constable Julie Chanin is the first ever female Chief of any police department in Greater Victoria.  Julie started her policing career in January 2000 as part of the millennial troop at the RCMP Training Depot in Regina.  Julie's RCMP career was spent on Vancouver Island, first in Port McNeil for 5 years and then to the Westshore for another 7 years before making the transition to Oak Bay.  Julie served as Union President in Oak Bay before taking the Deputy Chief job and ultimately the Chief Constable's position in 2024.Chief Chanin is obviously very committed to her community and her people and it was a pleasure to have her kick-off our Area Chiefs Series.Episode 2: Chief Ian Lawson – Central Saanich Police Service                     05 SepEpisode 3: Superintendent Todd Preston – Westshore Detachment           12 SepEpisode 4: Chief Dean Duthie – Saanich Police Department                          19 SepEpisode 5: Chief Del Manak – Victoria Police Department                               26 Sephttps://oakbaypolice.org/careers/Sound editing done by Todd Mason.More about the Victoria City Police Union (VCPU): - Tweet us at https://twitter.com/VicPD_Union - Follow us on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/vicpd_union/ - Find us on FaceBook at https://www.facebook.com/truebluevictoria/ - Visit our website for information at https://truebluevic.ca/ - Email us at media@vcpu.ca for any media inquiries or requests to be on the True Blue Podcast

On todays podcast, I speak with Keith Payne VC, AM, the oldest living recipient of the Victoria Cross in the world. From the battlefields of Korea, Malaya, and Vietnam to the struggle for veterans welfare, Keith Payne has never shied away from a fight. More than 50 years ago, this bravery saw him receive the Commonwealths highest military honour - the Victoria Cross. Keith grew up one of thirteen children in the shadow of the Great Depression and the Second World War. After seeing his father come home wounded from war, Keith joined the army. He was sent to fight in Korea at just 18 years old, the bloody beginning to decades of military service across the world. Keiths life was defined by one night in 1969. In the dark jungle of Vietnam, under heavy enemy fire, Keith returned to a fled battlefield to rescue 40 of his soldiers. For his extreme act of bravery in leading his men to safety, Keith became the last Australian to earn the VC for 40 years. Keith spent decades in the public spotlight while struggling with his own demons, then found a new purpose as an advocate for others. In a lifetime of service, he has helped not only veterans of foreign wars but also Indigenous diggers and communities left behind by civilian and military bureaucracy.  On 24TH May 1969, in Kontum Province, Warrant Officer Payne was Commanding 212th Company of 1st Mobile Strike Force Battalion when the battalion was attacked by a North Vietnamese force of superior strength. Under this heavy attack, the indigenous soldiers began to fall back. Directly exposing himself to the enemys fire, Warrant Officer Payne, through his own efforts, temporarily held off the assaults by alternately firing his weapon and running from position to position, collecting grenades and throwing them at the assaulting enemy. While doing this, he was wounded in the hand and arms. Despite his outstanding efforts, the indigenous soldiers gave way under the enemys increased pressure, and the Battalion Commander, together with several advisors and a few soldiers, withdrew. Paying no attention to his wounds and under extremely heavy enemy fire, Warrant Officer Payne covered his withdrawal by throwing grenades and firing his own weapon at the enemy who were attempting to follow up. Still under fire, he then ran across exposed ground to head off his own troops, who were withdrawing in disorder. He successfully stopped them and organised the remnants of his and the second company into a temporary defensive perimeter by nightfall. Having achieved this, Warrant Officer Payne, of his own accord and at great personal risk, moved out of the perimeter into the darkness alone in an attempt to find the wounded and other indigenous soldiers. He finally collected forty lost soldiers, some of whom had been wounded and returned with this group to the temporary defensive position he had left, only to find that the remainder of the battalion had moved back. Undeterred by this setback and personally assisting a seriously wounded American advisor, he led the group through the enemy to the safety of his battalion base. His sustained and heroic personal efforts in this action were outstanding and undoubtedly saved the lives of a large number of his indigenous soldiers and several of his fellow advisors. Warrant Officer Payne's repeated acts of exceptional personal bravery and unselfish conduct in this operation were an inspiration to all Vietnamese, United States, and Australian soldiers who served with him. His conspicuous gallantry was in the highest traditions of the Australian Army.  Victoria Cross citation published in The London Gazette, 19th September 1969 Presenter: Adam Blum Guest: Keith Payne VC AM Editor: Kyle Watkins

Send us a textJoin Cheryl Lee - That Radio Chick on STILL ROCKIN' IT for news, reviews, music and interviews with some of our favourite Australian musiciansFew voices have captured the essence of Australia quite like John Williamson. With his distinctive sound and storytelling prowess, he's spent 55 years painting musical portraits of our sunburnt country. Now, as he approaches his 80th birthday, the man behind "True Blue" and "Old Man Emu" is making one final journey across the nation."Everything I'm doing from now on is the last time I'm going to be there," Williamson confides with characteristic frankness. Though careful not to use the word "retirement" (joking that he "can't do a Farnham and keep coming back"), his current "My Travellin' Days Are Done" tour marks the end of an extraordinary touring chapter that began in 1969 when a young farmer won a talent quest with a quirky song about emus.Our conversation weaves through the rich tapestry of his life – from growing up as one of five sons in Victoria's Mallee district where his father played banjo in the local band, to his seven years working the land before music became his full-time passion. "The farm was plan A. The music was plan B," he reveals with a chuckle. This agricultural background infuses authenticity into every song, creating an unbreakable bond with audiences who've purchased over five million of his albums.Despite amassing 28 Golden Guitar trophies and three ARIA awards, Williamson remains refreshingly humble, finding more satisfaction in "the sale of CDs and streaming... because it means the general public are approving of my songs" than industry accolades. Even more meaningful? "People crying in the front row of the show."Though his touring days may soon conclude, Williamson's creative spirit remains vibrant. His newest single "Born with a Ukulele in My Hand" was inspired by annual trips to Fiji, and he has collaborated with his daughter Ami on beautiful duets. He hints at continuing his annual "Shed Show" at his Queensland property and possibly recording new music, ensuring this national treasure's voice won't fall silent.Don't miss your final opportunity to experience John Williamson live as he completes his farewell tour through February 2026, including appearances at the Deni Ute Muster and Tamworth Country Music Festival. After 55 remarkable years, these performances promise to be profoundly special celebrations of Australian music's true blue legend.What has John Williamson been up to lately?  Let's find out!Get out when you can, support local music and I'll see you down the front!!Visit: ThatRadioChick.com.au

Interview with Nic Earner, Managing Director & CEO of Alkane Resources Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/alkane-mandalay-merger-reshapes-mid-tier-gold-landscape-7155Recording date: 8th August 2025Alkane Resources (ASX:ALK) has successfully completed its transformative merger with Mandalay Resources, establishing a dual ASX and TSX-listed gold and antimony producer operating three mines across Australia and Sweden. The strategic combination creates a mid-tier producer generating over 160,000 gold equivalent ounces annually with robust cash flow of nearly $100 million over the past twelve months.The merged entity operates geographically diversified assets including the Tomingley gold mine in New South Wales, Costerfield gold and antimony mine in Victoria, and Björkdal gold mine in northern Sweden. This diversification across premier mining jurisdictions provides operational stability while reducing single-asset dependency risks that plague many smaller producers.Management has outlined a clear three-pillar growth strategy focused on maximizing value from existing operations, pursuing strategic acquisitions of 80-120,000 ounce annual producers, and achieving market re-rating through enhanced scale and liquidity. CEO Nic Earner emphasized the company's commitment to operational excellence, noting "We have a culture within the group of making sure we deliver on guidance," with Alkane meeting production targets in all but one year since 2014.The merger provides significant financial strength with pro forma cash of A$218 million and no meaningful debt obligations, enabling flexible capital allocation for organic growth and strategic acquisitions. Near-term catalysts include completing highway relocation at Tomingley, developing the True Blue extension at Costerfield, and optimizing higher-grade opportunities at Björkdal, supported by a $40 million annual near-mine exploration budget.Management believes the combined entity's production profile and cash generation capabilities position it for valuation re-rating, with peer comparisons suggesting companies of similar scale typically trade above 1.4-1.5 billion Australian dollars in market capitalization. The dual listing strategy aims to broaden the investor base and improve liquidity, potentially facilitating inclusion in relevant mining indices and access to passive investment flows.View Alkane Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/alkane-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

On todays podcast, I speak with Australian Royal Navy Veteran Karney Armstrong. With over 11 years of service as a medic, Karney's journey is one of resilience, courage, and transformation. During her career, she faced extraordinary challenges—including a life-saving rescue when she treated a civilian attacked by a shark off Garden Island, WA, just shy of completing her Advanced Medics Assistant Course. Her dedication and quick thinking in that moment exemplify her bravery. Despite her service, Karney faced personal battles, including PTSD, OCD and anorexia, all while managing young motherhood and deployments. Drawn to healing, she turned to yoga to reconnect with her body and calm her nervous system. After years of training, she achieved a historic milestone as the first female from Australia to medal at the Invictus Games in 2023 in Germany—winning gold in a race chair and silver in seated shot put. With her loyal service dog Ivy by her side, Karney now dedicates her life to helping other Veterans and First Responders. She is an upcoming author, trauma-sensitive yoga instructor, and is often seen on both the News and state newspapers advocating for Veterans and First Responders, proving that healing is possible—that true strength lies in community and service. Join us as we explore her inspiring story of resilience, recovery, and purpose—because Veterans helping Veterans is where the magic is!

The Las Vegas Police Gun fights and Trauma He Barely Survived, His story, Books and Organization. What happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas,” says Randy Sutton, a man whose career with The Las Vegas Police was marked by heroism, split-second decisions, and more than a few brushes with death. Sutton, a retired Lieutenant with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) and a 34-year veteran of law enforcement, recently returned to the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast to share his story. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast interview, available for free on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and more podcast platforms. Before joining the LVMPD, Sutton spent a decade with the Princeton, New Jersey Police Department. But it was his 24 years in Las Vegas, a city that never sleeps, that tested his courage and resilience in ways few can imagine. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. “There were multiple gun fights in my career, but one in particular stands out,” Sutton recalls in the interview. The incident involved an armed suspect wielding both a gun and edged weapons. “It could have easily cost me my life, for more reasons than one,” he says. The Las Vegas Police Gun fights and Trauma He Barely Survived, His story, Books and Organization. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . That night turned into a nightmare of chaos, numerous shots fired by police and the suspect, a departmental vehicle crash, and a desperate effort to avoid getting hit. “I remember thinking, just keep moving, just keep breathing,” he says. The trauma from that moment, combined with other dangerous encounters over his decades of service, would later shape his mission to help other officers. Sutton's survival wasn't just luck, it was training, instinct, and sheer will. But the emotional scars lingered. “When you've been in that situation, when you've seen the worst of humanity and survived, you can't just go back to normal,” he says. That understanding led him to found The Wounded Blue, a National Assistance and Support Organization for Injured and Disabled Law Enforcement Officers. “Our mission is simple, make sure these heroes are never forgotten and never alone,” Sutton explains. Through support, education, assistance, and legislative advocacy, The Wounded Blue helps officers and their families navigate both physical injuries and the hidden wounds of trauma.

His book A Cop's Life: True Stories from the Heart Behind the Badge captures the deeply human side of policing. Another of his works, True Blue, is a compilation of stories from officers nationwide, accounts of gun fights, murder investigations, missing children, car chases, and the life-altering events of September 11, 2001. “These stories are about more than law enforcement, they're about humanity, resilience, and sacrifice,” Sutton says. The Las Vegas Police Gun fights and Trauma He Barely Survived, His story, Books and Organization.

As a nationally known media commentator and one of the most highly decorated officers in LVMPD history, with awards for Valor, Community Service, and multiple Lifesaving honors, Sutton's voice carries weight. But it's his vulnerability in speaking about trauma that resonates most. His story isn't just one of survival; it's a call to action. “I barely survived that night,” he says of the gun fight that could have ended his life. “But I'm here, and I owe it to those who didn't make it home to keep fighting, this time, for them.” You can follow Randy Sutton and The Wounded Blue on their website, their Facebook and Instagram, or listen to the full interview on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast's website, on Apple podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms.

In the summer of 1985, Sean Penn's marriage to preeminent material girl Madonna was an epochal moment for ‘80s-era Hollywood. The bad boy from Bad Boys and the boy-toy pop superstar blissfully brought together the worlds of movies and music on a Malibu bluff overlooking the Pacific. But their subsequent attempt to make a movie together was anything but blissful. A wild film shoot in China would lead to even wilder things, like the time Sean dangled a photographer upside-down from a ninth-story balcony. Or the time he escaped a prison in Macau and had to have a pardon from the government negotiated by a former member of the Beatles. Or the time he spent in an American prison, where he found himself passing notes with a fellow inmate down the hall…one who happened to be one of the most notorious serial killers in history.

Joe Royle – the only living person to achieve legendary status at Everton as both a player and manager (the other being the late, great Howard Kendall) – invites Chris Beesley to his house for a special episode of Goodison Park: My Home. Royle, who grew up in Norris Green, attending Ranworth Square Primary School before going on to Quarry Bank High School where he developed into a talented all-round sportsman, also excelling in the high jump and swimming, became Everton's youngest-ever player at the time when he was controversially picked ahead of ‘The Golden Vision' Alex Young by Harry Catterick to make his debut at Blackpool aged 16 years and 282 days on January 15, 1966, a record that stood for over 42 years until it was eclipsed by Jose Baxter. Although Royle was part of the Blues team that lost 1-0 after extra time to West Bromwich Albion in the 1968 FA Cup final, alongside the ‘Holy Trinity' midfield of Kendall, Colin Harvey and Alan Ball, plus the likes of captain Brian Labone, goalkeeper Gordon West, fellow Scouser Tommy Wright and his good friend John Hurst, he was top scorer in Everton's 1969/70 League Championship-winning side. Once reaching 29 goals in all competitions in 1968/69, by the time Royle's Everton career had finished, he had netted more times for the club (119) than any player since Dixie Dean. Returning to Goodison Park as manager in November 1994 with the team bottom of the Premier League, he saved the Blues from relegation while also becoming the only manager in Everton history to win a trophy in his first season in charge. Some 30 years on, Royle remains the last Everton manager to secure major silverware for the club, while the following campaign (1995/96), he steered them to sixth place, which was their only top-half finish in the first decade of the Premier League. Now 75, he explains how the circumstances behind his departure continue to perplex him but as a True Blue, he was delighted to return to the Goodison hot seat for one last time as caretaker boss alongside his former player David Unsworth against Norwich City in 2016.
