Tom from Breaking The Chains
Hey Will I Vike It? Listeners, this episode is not the usual, but I hope you will watch and listen anyway as I talk with Tom from Breaking The Chains, an organisation that work with Veterans to rescue animals from danger - whether that be earthquakes or war zones. Tom is incredibly passionate and hard working and I feel privileged to have taken up some of his time of this chat. He also answered any and all questions I threw at him, including the questions I ask every guest at the end!
I also caught up with friend and past guest Wild Kat who told me about her time working with Breaking The Chains.

Customer Reviews
Good listen!
Been enjoying learning about different unique trades and the food that Viking age people would have been able to make with the ingredients available to them! I always learn something that’s leaves me going “hmm, that’s cool! I didn’t know that.”
