Chris Ryan invited me on his ‘Life or Death’ podcast. It was most enjoyable. We discussed how I joined special forces, my time in the SBS, civvy street, and how I made a living scriptwriting in Hollywood. It gets a bit more detailed than that. The link below takes you to the podcast.
Life or Death with Chris Ryan
Chris Ryan’s Podcast by 11-29 Media
British SAS veteran Chris Ryan talks to people who have worked in some of the most extreme and dangerous conditions. Expect to hear from special forces veterans from around the world, undercover police officers and those who have served on the frontline. You can find out more about Chris Ryan on his website
Just finished listening to “First into action” after watching the Chris Ryan chat. (Met him once in 99 at a book launch)
You guys are crazy 🤨 the average Brit looks on in amazement at things we could never do.
I laughed lots and also shed a tear for your
Friend on the range.
The confrontation on the Irish country lane was incredibly tense to listen to.
I had to come here and say thank you for everything you and your comrades have done for our county with your service.
The back and forth between SBS and SAS clearly is a thing, humans and their egos, but perhaps it helps drive you all to be even better at what you do.
Hope life is good, and thank you again.
Ps the final words in your audio about the “others out there” would love to hear another book about experiences with other SF
🏴
Thanks Jack,
Glad you enjoyed the book. And thanks for the kind words of appreciation.
I decided to write a second autobiography 30 years on telling a new set of adventures. It’s called First Into Action Again. If you ever get to it you’ll see why it’s called that. It’s supposed to come out in September.
All the best,
Duncan

By and chance do you know when the next Life and Death podcast will be?
The most recent was Sept 2021 and usually there isn’t such a long gap between.
Many thanks,
Ron
(Duncan. By any chance do you know Martin D. Former 45 Cmd and SB. He’s in Australia now. We’re both from Manchester and used to wrestle at same club. I live in US now and he came over here and we trained together prior to him competing in the ‘88 Seoul Olympics)

I don’t know anything about the Life and Death podcasts.
But I do know Martin very well. We still communicate. In fact we exchanged emails last week. He is still in Australia, doing well. Marty and I used to do judo together – he used to drag me around to competitions, mostly to enjoy seeing me get beaten up! We had a lot of fun.
