The Voice Of GO(r)D podcast is very happy to bring you the self proclaimed ‘King of Content’, the Doer of The Work™️, lawyer, historian, marketing guru, prolific writer, and former co-host of the What’s Left? podcast, Mr Oliver Bateman.
Oliver encouraged me to start this Substack and is one of many who told me I should start a podcast - he has always been very encouraging of this project, and has served as a great inspiration and adviser to me over the years, and I am very happy to get him on the show and get him to you. We centered our conversation on our fathers, as Oliver’s Dad looms large in his work, both as a man of size and as a philosophical driving force behind Oliver’s work. We end up meandering around a number of different stories, including those of our Grandfathers services - mine driving a Sherman tank in Europe and then trucks across Canada, and Oliver’s being a submariner in the US Navy during World War 2, with these family histories ultimately animating everything we do and discuss here on the show.
