When not to record a Podcast with Vodka

When not to record a Podcast with Vodka

Join humanitarian, ABW donor, and U.S. veteran Jonathan Lubecky (aka"Lubecky"), along with Robin Yessen, a dedicated ABW volunteer from Norway, and regular host Simon Massey, as they record from the Actions BeyondWords (ABW) headquarters in Medyka, Poland. Be sure to check out Robin's beard in the podcast cover. The title of this podcast is entirely accurate—we're trying to create a meaningful conversation exploring their work in Ukraine, the use of psychedelic medicine in treating PTSD, and, yes, gently pouring Ukrainian vodka as they go. Editing this one was a challenge, but there was too much worth sharing to cut it all. Sufficed to say, it was the riotousevening you’d imagine. We've left in a few things that might normally be outtakes—because sometimes, the chaos is part of the truth.   We couldn’t broadcast the outtakes!

Listener discretion is advised.

Destination Odesa

Follow the journey of four UK firefighters as they team up with Actions Beyond Words to raise funds and deliver two decommissioned fire engines to Uzhhorod and Odesa, Ukraine. Hosted by Simon Massey, this episode features special guest Christopher Standley, an active UK firefighter, as they discuss the mission, the challenges of humanitarian logistics, and the spirit of solidarity that drives their work. If you listen closely, you may even catch the Chairman of the Board giggling at some of the stories towards the end of the podcast.
