    Podcast Update

    New episodes of the podcast will be arriving very soon.

    Chris has been working with The Curious Cat Distillery on a Life or Death Rum.

    Covertly imported direct from the Caribbean, re-distilled with botanicals and barrel aged to produce a distinct, mellow spiced flavour. Strong notes of vanilla overtones lead the flavour charge followed by an explosion of molasses and a mellow, warm spiced finish.

    This is a UK only soft launch for the product - the initial Special Edition batch will be sold on a first come, first served basis via Curious Cat Drinks online shop

    Paralympic Paratrooper: Scott Meenagh Part 2

    Paralympic Paratrooper: Scott Meenagh Part 2

    In part two of this special with Scott Meenagh, there's a special comradery and solidarity shared as Scott tells Chris about working with his brother in the paratroopers, as well as what "puts the fear of God" into the Taliban.

    "In order for me to do my job as effectively as possible I need to be not expecting to come home"

    These are the sacrifices service men and women make every day, particularly this former paratrooper AND Paralympian, Scott Meenagh.

    He and Chris Ryan share a bond over Chris's brother, who served alongside Scott in the 2nd Battalion, Parachute Regiment. Scott lost both his legs in 2011 after stepping on an IED, but turned his life around to become a successful Paralympian.
