    Bru Time #146 - Steve Manning (ART Advanced Training) - the FUTURE of motorcycle training

    Steve Manning has been riding motorcycles since he was 11, and a motorcycle instructor since 1998. He now owns and runs ART (Advanced Riding Techniques) who cover all motorcycle training needs in Surrey and Sussex, and his latest passion is the NMRT - National Motorcycle Rider Trainers.

    He’s on a mission to make the process of getting on two wheels as simple, safe and fun as possible, whilst uniting the UK rider training companies through the NMRT to have a united voice to argue in their favour, and make it easy for people to find qualified, vetted, training centres anywhere in the country.

    Bru Time #143 - Grant Spencer (Nuclear Submarine SPY turned author)

    Grant Spencer is an ex-Royal Navy Submariner who conducted Top Secret covert missions on Hunter Killer submarines during the latter years of the ‘Cold War’ and engaged in global Special Forces operations.
    In 2006 he was the first Submariner to ever successfully complete Special Duties Selection Op Samson, becoming a Human Intelligence (HUMINT) Advanced Operator, conducting overt and covert operations handling CHIS’s (Covert Human Intelligence Sources) during both the Iraq and Afghanistan wars and domestically on UK Mainland.
    Returning to Submarines in 2014, he spent his final years on covert Trident missile patrols acting as the UK nuclear deterrent.
    Grant is now an author. His first book, ‘Trust No One’, was released in July 2023. A work of fiction, it is however based on his real-world experiences while working in the Armed Forces. ‘Trust No One’ is our first introduction to Frank Tanner, a character who will feature as the main protagonist in a series of stories soon to follow. The second book in the Frank Tanner series, ‘Bribed By Blood’, will be released early in 2024 with the third book, ‘You Will Remember’ later in 2024.
    On top of all that, he’s a biker too!

Number One!!

Can’t get enough of Bru Time!! I’m a long distance truck driver and Bruce keeps me company with great yarns and fascinating guests from a wide range of backgrounds. There’s always a good laugh to be had and useful information and links to other resources to discover. Thanks to Bruce for all his effort in putting together this entertaining podcast 🤙🏻

Live in Wonder ,

Open, honest and engaging conversation

The Teapot One podcasts are a great format. Blind questions that lead to open, honest, often humorous and very human responses. If you love great human stories, tune in. Whilst it is loosely motorcycle based, the stories will often engage you and have you laughing and crying and all emotions in between. Fabulous.

Loved podcasts, even better now that Bruce does one for motorbike enthusiasts !!!
