Happy blow up day.

"Happy blow Up day" - his line not mine - it will become clear.  Episode 1 has Tony Checkley talk us through his military journey; the good, the bad and the ugly.  From hysterical encounters with the Queen, to stepping on a landmine and the chaos thereafter, and who has helped in his recovery. 

This is the first one I recorded - making all the obvious mistakes regarding music, transitioning, sound quality etc etc... but if you can get over all that - which is easy to do such is the captivating story Tony has to tell, you will hopefully not notice that this shouldn't really be called a podcast but a short story. 

Tony mentions a couple of charities which have been a part of his recovery:

The Colonel's Fund - Grenadier Guards (grengds.com)   

Military Charity for Limbless Veterans | Blesma

"Talking with the wounded" is a twice a monthly publication - gives you time to listen to the longer ones and me time to try and work out how to improve the production side of things..which may not be evident in the first series.  

Thanks for listening - please follow and share and send me your comments.
