  • Think You Could Survive the SAS? Here's What it Takes to be an Elite Solider | Harry Moffitt
    Nov 26 2025

    Think you could survive the SAS? Harry Moffitt knows what it really takes. The bone-deep pressure, the recruitment tests that break you before you even begin, the training that leaves scars you carry long after.

    He’s been wounded, pushed through brutal recovery, and seen moments of unexpected humanity that change you forever. Harry takes us inside the highs, lows, and everything in between - from the battlefield to the chaos of transitioning back to civilian life.

    You'll hear how he prepares others for what’s ahead, the lessons in performance and resilience that guide him today, and yes, even how all of this ends up in an all-special-forces punk band. Raw, unflinching, and unforgettable.

  • Bite Size: Doc Reveals the Vulnerable World of Celebrity | Dr Bill Anseline
    Nov 23 2025

    What if the people we idolise are far more ordinary than we imagine?

    In this Bite Size from episode #154, Dr Bill Anseline pulls back the curtain on life with some of the world’s biggest celebrities. He explains why, beneath the fame, pressure and spectacle, the thing they crave most is to be treated like everyone else.

    Bill also shares a story he’s never told publicly: the night he took U2 to Mardi Gras… and Bono ended up halfway up a lighting tower, watching Kylie Minogue bring the house down at the after-party.

    A rare look at what really happens when the spotlight switches off.
