Series music is 'Something New' by the Eastern Plain Episodes were recorded in part in Edinburgh's War Poets rooms, where the great poets Wilfred Owen (1893-1918) and Siegfried Sassoon (1886-1967) famously met and became friends during The Great War. At the time, the building was Craiglockhart War Hospital, and the two men were being treated for neurasthenia (shellshock or PTSD). It is now part of Edinburgh Napier University, and the headquarters of the Scotland Veterans Wellbeing Alliance.

Getting Up Again

Many veterans join Civvy Street with physical injuries, or develop problems after service. In this episode, Hannah and Richard meet two organisations who, in different ways, keep veterans active - and, in some cases - get them back on their feet. https://sightscotland.org.uk/veterans [https://sightscotland.org.uk/veterans] https://thejourney.fitness/ [https://thejourney.fitness/] Find the Scotland Veterans Wellbeing Alliance here: https://svwa.org.uk/ [https://svwa.org.uk/] New Frontiers is produced by Bespoken Media [http://www.bespoken.media] for SVWA and Edinburgh Napier University.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
