About this listen

Episode one of the Voice of Veterans. In this episode, Triple H workday radio presenter and fellow veteran Nathan explain their passion for the Voice of Veterans Podcast and briefly describe what they hope to achieve.  

We also have the privilege of sitting down with legendary Australian singer John Schumann to discuss stories told to him by Vietnam Veterans and the inspiration behind his iconic song 'I Was Only 19.' John takes us on a journey through listening to family and friends who shared their stories on their perspective on the war, including the challenges they faced and the lessons they learned. We also explore the powerful impact that 'I Was Only 19' has had on Australian culture and beyond, and how it has become a symbol of remembrance and healing for those affected by war. This is a deeply moving and thought-provoking conversation that sheds light on an important chapter in Australian history and highlights the power of music to inspire change and heal.
