About Veterans Voices UK

Veterans Voices UK is a podcast dedicated to preserving the personal stories of British military veterans from across the generations. Through candid and heartfelt conversations, we explore not only their experiences of war and conflict but also the incredible people behind those stories. From World War Two to modern-day military operations, our episodes bring to life the challenges, sacrifices, and triumphs veterans face during their service and beyond. Each episode dives deep into the unique journeys of these individuals, highlighting their courage, resilience, and humanity. But these aren’t just historical accounts; they’re living legacies, told in the veterans' own words. By sharing their stories, we ensure that their voices are heard, their experiences are remembered, and future generations gain a deeper understanding of the impact military service has on individuals and their families. Subscribe to Veterans Voices UK to join us in honouring those who answered the call to serve their country.

episode Chris Finney GC – Service, Courage and Life Beyond the Medal artwork

Chris Finney GC – Service, Courage and Life Beyond the Medal

Chris Finney GC joins Matt Limb to reflect on an extraordinary life shaped by service, courage and purpose. From a happy childhood in Dorset, a love of sport, time in the Army cadets and an early determination to join the Army, Chris traces his journey through Harrogate and Bovington into the Household Cavalry, before deployment to Iraq in 2003 at just eighteen years of age. In a rare and deeply personal conversation, Chris speaks about the events of 28 March 2003, the action for which he was awarded the George Cross and the life-changing consequences that followed. He reflects not only on bravery, injury and recovery, but also on the weight of recognition, the realities of life in the Army afterwards and the quieter path he has built since; beyond the uniform and beyond the medal. But today, as Chairman of the Victoria Cross and George Cross Association, Chris helps carry forward the legacy of our highest awards for gallantry, while promoting their values through education, remembrance and charitable work. Chris’s story is one of quiet resilience, service and perspective.

Chris Randall - From RAF Regiment Gunner to Army Officer, A Lifetime of Service

Chris Randall grew up in a family where military service spanned generations. His father served with the Royal Green Jackets, while both his grandfather and great-grandfather served in the World Wars. Continuing that legacy, Chris first joined the Royal Air Force Regiment as a gunner before being commissioned into the Army, as his service took him to Northern Ireland, Germany, Cyprus, the Falkland Islands and Iraq. Chris also reflects on his time within the Personal Recovery Units, supporting soldiers recovering from illness and injury as they worked towards returning to operational service. Drawing on decades of experience across different branches of the armed forces and wider public service, including time in a police operational control room and service with the Coastguard, Chris shares some thoughtful and hard-earned lessons from a lifetime of service.

episode RAF Fireman, Rescuer & Paramedic - The Life of Roger Stevens artwork

RAF Fireman, Rescuer & Paramedic - The Life of Roger Stevens

In this episode, we hear the story of Roger Stevens, whose life began in Cornwall and was shaped by a family tradition of military service stretching back to the First World War. In the 1950s, he continued that legacy when he joined the Royal Air Force as a fireman during his National Service, serving in Northern Ireland before The Troubles and later in the Indian Ocean, England and Germany. While posted to RAF Gütersloh, Roger played a key role in saving the life of a German Starfighter pilot after an emergency landing; a moment that reflects his professionalism, composure and courage. Roger also reflects on how the discipline and emergency-response skills he developed in the RAF helped him build a successful civilian career, becoming one of the country’s early paramedics. From his childhood memories to the experiences that shaped his working life, Roger offers thoughtful, deeply personal insight into a life defined by duty, compassion, and resilience.

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.
