    5 With A Digger. BRS & Anzac Day Conversation Feat. Crowy.

    Episode 112 and Crowy’s back in the chair and we’re diving straight into the controversy surrounding Ben Roberts-Smith. A Victoria Cross recipient now facing five war crime charges relating to alleged incidents in Afghanistan, allegations he denies. After years in the spotlight and a massive defamation case, this now moves into a criminal trial where the standard is beyond reasonable doubt. But this isn’t just about one man. It’s about how war is judged. How soldiers are seen back home. And where the line sits between loyalty and accountability. With Anzac Day around the corner, this one hits different.

    5 With A Digger. 2PK Collab.

    Episode 111 and we’re linking up with the legends from 2 Pissed Kent’s podcast. We rolled through and jumped on with the boys while we were over in Sydney on a podcast tour, and let’s just say things got loose real quick. Now we’ll be honest, things have been absolutely flat out lately. Between getting the It’ll Take A Tribe Food Bank up and running and gearing up for the Jimmy Judge Tour of Torture, spare time has been hard to come by, so we’ve dug deep into the archives and pulled this one out for you legends. Massive love to the boys from 2 Pissed Kents for having us on, unreal crew, unreal chat, and plenty of laughs.

    5 With A Digger. Jerard.

    Episode 109 and I’m joined by Jerard. Jerard enlisted back in 2012, but this isn’t your standard service story. Just 3 months in, a serious injury changed everything. What followed was years of setbacks—spinal surgery, re-injuries, being pushed beyond medical advice… and constantly fighting to be heard. And still—he showed up. Training others as an ADI, completing heavy vehicle quals, even supporting SASR in 2017. Behind the scenes though, it was a battle. Airlifts. Heart surgery. Time in the Soldier Recovery Centre. And the weight of it all mentally. All while raising a young family and navigating life falling apart outside the uniform. He medically discharged in 2019—after a career that tested him in every way possible. This is a story of resilience, grit, and pushing through when everything’s stacked against you.

    5 With A Digger. Franckiie.

    Episode 107 and I’m joined by Taula Daure, better known as Franckiie. Born in Papua New Guinea and raised through hardship after losing his mum at just 4, Franckiie grew up without his dad, before reconnecting with him later in life, a powerful full-circle moment. Moving to Australia in 2005, he faced setbacks and tough moments, but he didn’t let them define him. He reset, he refocused and he found purpose in the ADF. Enlisting in 2012 as a Recovery Mechanic, Franckiie became part of the backbone that keeps everything moving. After a medical discharge, he continued giving back through defence contracting and instruction, now settled on the Sunshine Coast. A powerful story of resilience, growth, and reconnecting.

    5 With A Digger. Tod.

    Episode 105 and I’m joined by Tod. Tod is a former Australian Army Combat Engineer who served 12 years in the Corps from 2009–2021. Starting his career as a young Sapper, Tod spent his early years on the tools as a Combat Engineer before transitioning into the civil construction side of the trade, eventually rising through the ranks to Corporal. Across his time in service he was involved in a huge range of work — from AACAP projects in remote communities around Australia, to major exercises like Hamel and Cultana, and operational tasks including: • Refurbishment works at Navy Dive School – Shoalwater Bay • Infrastructure builds on Nauru • Flood relief operations in Port Macquarie Tod also spent two years posted to the School of Military Engineering at Holsworthy as an instructor, helping train and mentor the next generation of Combat Engineers coming through the Corps. But this episode goes deeper than just the jobs and deployments. We talk about life in the Army, the challenges that come with service, the personal battles along the way, and what life looks like on the other side. Another powerful conversation and another important story.
