Pinned down at a Mariupol steelworks, after a month-long siege and running out of supplies, Aiden was part of the mass surrender of over a thousand Ukrainian troops, in April 2022. Then his real ordeal began.

A victim of a catalogue of abuses of international law, Aiden struggled to cling on to any hope of survival. Certain that he was going to be executed, he was eventually freed in a prisoner exchange and permitted to return home.

After 3 months of non stop researching and investigating we managed to track down Ryan Caldwell, who was living off grid almost in rural Norther Ireland and who the outside world hadn't heard from in years. Once upon a time he was an Irish international rugby player but of late he's better known as a multi convicted drug dealer, addict and criminal. That was until he served multiple prison sentences and tried to end his life - off the back of this he knew he needed to change and so headed to South America where a 6 week Ayahuasca trip helped him get rid of his addictions and get him back on the straight and narrow. He now runs his own retreats which you can find out about in the podcast - https://www.innerevolutionni.com - his story is simply incredible - so please sit back and enjoy.

S9 Ep116: Simon Thomas - How His Alcohol Dependency & Struggles Almost Led To Him Taking His Own Life + Archie Calls Out Bill Sweeney!
Today we're joined by one of our greatest friends of the show in Sky Sports & Amazon Prime Broadcaster Simon Thomas for somewhat of a 'Dry January' special. Simon has recently passed his 1 year anniversary of being sober and in this deeply personal interview he takes us through the horrendous struggles and relationship he's had with alcohol over the years. After suddenly losing his wife, his life was flipped upside down and like so many in desperate situations, he took refuge in the bottle and this sparked a sudden downfall which almost led to his death on multiple occasions. He opens up about his inspiring journey over the last couple of years and gives advice to those who maybe struggling from similar issues. We also discuss the premature arrival of his daughter and the terrifying events surrounding that. However it's not all seriousness as Archie manages to inject a ridiculous amount of stupidity and laughter into the podcast as always.

S8 Ep107: Damian Browne - Rowing The Atlantic - 110 Days Alone At Sea Battling; Storms, 30 Foot Waves & Losing His Partner To A Suspected Blood Clot!
Today we're joined by Damian Browne, a man who had an incredible rugby career including winning the Heineken Cup with Leinster, but has made a name for himself as an extreme adventurer. We talk to him merely a couple weeks after completing his most incredible expedition to date, when he became the first man in history to row the Atlantic Ocean solo from New York to Ireland. After losing his partner at sea with a suspected blood clot only 2 weeks into the row, Damian decided to complete the task by himself and therefore spent the next 95 days all alone at sea, with no human company, no one to talk to, just the storms of the ocean and his mind to keep him company. Rowing for over 12 hours a day non stop and having no human company for that long can break the strongest of men and when he had to spend 3 days locked into his capsized row boat in a deadly storm and his cabin started to flood, he thought it could be the end of his life. Listen to his incredible story now and find out what pushing your mind and body to the very edge feels like.
