You've spelled his name differently on the show card from what's on the title sequence.
First time ive seen a veteran openly admit to mistakenly killing a civilian and take full responsibility. Legend.
Wow! I worked in Thames Valley Police Custody as a Detention Officer few years back and actually remember David coming in a few times. Gotta say its so good to see he's doing loads better, every one of us in Custody had the utmost respect for him and could see he was battling demons. Well done buddy, so good to see you're on a better and more positive path.
Hi mate, I do remember you. All your help at that hard time in my life is greatly appreciated. Thank you all very much mate. And all the best to you
@daveradband648 keep doing what you're doing buddy! Stay safe and all the very best to you and your family.
@@daveradband648 🙏❤🙏👊
Of had been white, you wouldn't give a shit.
Respect to you Dave, I am a firefighter in Faringdon, so not a million miles away. huge respect to your parents too. So pleased you are in a good place.
Fucking hell Dodge, where did you dig this legend up from??
What a man, I’d love to take this fella for a few pints and listen to his stories. Fellas like him deserve to live in this country free of charge for what they’ve given to this country
Much rather agree giving these heroes the limelight rather than 'gangsters' who've not contributed to anything to life. Another belter of a chat.
Bang on mate 👏
Yeah great comment, all them hardest bloke in Britain shite videos. This blokes a legend 💪great interview Dodge respect ❤
Worked with Radders in 1PARA. Fucking nails dude. Hearing him talk about the mental side of things made me cut onions, the fucker. I can hear the hurt in his voice.
Cut onions, what a saying! 😂 I miss the military speak so much!!
People think this country's gone soft. On the surface it appears so but underneath, fighting for the real British people and way of life are blokes like this. Thank you for all that you've done for our country mate. I wish you all the best for the future. We appreciate you. Be kind to yourself brother who knows how many lives you've saved over the years. God bless you!
Dodge, you are definitely the best interviewer going. You can see your interested in the person story and listen to them without interrupting them. Keep going with your brilliant episodes 👏 👍
100%! He actually lets the interviewee talk!! Best guy
Thanks Stuart and I absolutely love chatting to proper characters!
Good man 👍🏼👍🏼
@@DodgeWoodall You are a great interviewer, but you don't half ask some stupid questions considering you've interviewed ops before. Only joking, you do it for the people that don't know!
😊😊😊😊😊😊op pop ppp
😊
Couldn’t agree more, it’s unbelievable how you Dodge can get so much out of a guest , with gentle guidance . You have a good soul and guests feel safe in your care when they are telling incredible life experiences.
That was such an open and brave interview. So glad you’re doing well now Dave. Having served your country the way you did, you deserve happiness. Nothing but respect
Dave’s raw openness is brave and I’m sure this will have a profound impact on anyone (particularly us guys) who listen to him. He’s obviously hurt a lot of people in his life but appears to have turned it around against all odds. Thank you for your service and sacrifice, wishing you a healthy and happier future.
These guys need more recognition. Currently the government are apologising for an issue in the armed forces that never existed. Yet people like this guy are ignored by the leftwafa. Some of heroes are on the streets.
Lest we forget. 🇬🇧
It's bonkers, we are prioritising the people displaced by the conflicts our homeless fought in. 100% agree.
This guys been through the mill, I hope he finds peace and happiness.
ffs Dodge you caught me off guard there. I’m not crying…you’re crying! 😭 Wow, another incredible story and another reminder we need to take more care of our kids’ emotions and stop bullying in all its forms, to take much better care of our war vets and remember they are emotionally vulnerable young boys underneath those muscles and tattoos. These boys and girls that put themselves in harm’s way for me have my full respect. Another flipping belter Dodge, you’re absolutely smashing this!
Life is a journey, not a destination. What a moving interview with an intelligent man. I wish Dave all the best.
Absolutely amazing watch/listen this, very touching too, I'm currently in a mental hospital after hanging myself 8 days ago and also being found unresponsive, I'm slowly on the mend and glad I am here to have watched this episode to take strength and inspiration from, keep doing what your doing Dodge 👍
Thanks mate. Keep fighting the good fight. Positive change is possible. Remember, endeavour through adversity.
JP - Glad this episode Dave and I did has given you strength mate 🙏
@@daveradband648 thank you appreciate it.
@@vaulthunter6961mate when you're in the hospital and you're on life watch, u can have ur phone... Don't try and be clever
This is one of if not the best veteran interviews I’ve ever seen. These are the war fighting and personal struggle stories men want to hear and it helps people understand reality. What a sterling bloke! God bless
"Treat the person, not the disease" brilliant Dave! Thank you.
Thank you for serving our country
I grew up about 5 minures walk from the bogside in derry, born in 71 so the troubles were my youth. I went to Newcastle upon Tyne to do a degree and ran into a few para's and some royal marines as well, some of the soundest most centred people I ever met, great lads. Really enjoyed this podcast, excellent, honest conversation and i hope things work out well for David 👍
Great interview Dodge, perfect mix of letting the guest speak and asking solid questions
Daves been through alot, all the best for the future mate. Thank you for your service
This one, I've got to say is my favourite one Dodge. What an insight into a totally different world. Dave is amazing to come through it all and to have an amazing family around him. Thankyou Dave for sharing your story. It got to me. I Will never forget this one. Thankyou for another great Podcast Dodge.
Thanks for speaking honestly and openly Dave, it will resonate with a lot of men,
And also! This shook me to the boots! What an interview, what a story!! Unreal mate!
What a lad! Massive respect and as the Americans say…… Thank you for your service Sir. 🙏
I’m loving the Military guys and hearing their stories. These podcast play in my ears here at work! Keep them coming!
Glad you are enjoying Matt 👍🏼👍🏼
Great interview and an even greater guy, so brutally honest about himself, his exploits and his turmoil. Massive respect, peace and love!
Dodge another absolute gem of an interview. Totally absorbing. Your interview style is effortless, it didn’t feel like a Q&A more like two blokes having a chat over a pint. Radders is an inspirational bloke. Glad he’s doing so well now and sorted his demons. Also glad he’s on our side cos he’s a total unit. 👍🏻
This is the best interview I have watched on TH-cam for a long time. What an incredible human being this man is. Massive respect Dave, God bless you.
One of the best podcasts I’ve ever listened to. So honest, didn’t shy from anything. So glad he’s back on a good path!
What an amazing chap. Brave boys like this shouldn't be fighting these pointless foreign wars
Another brilliant pod cast.. I really feel for him it must be so hard to deal with all the stuff they see out there. They don’t get enough help when they come back. Wish him all the best for the future.
Wow what an interview, listening to this made me feel like I was on a journey with him. So brutal but so honest too, and great to see he's turned his life around. Fantastic.
The most moving Interesting Lives episode. I have no way of understanding what Radders has been through but I choked up at points during this. What a full blown hero. For what you’ve done, been through, come back from and what you’ve become! A proper hero!
One of the best podcast I’ve heard. Can’t thank these men enough for what they do, they risk there lives and most of the time loose themselves from the people they were to give us a good life. Max respect
Wow,you never know what you’re gonna hear from these guys,this was at times a hard listen,I definitely laughed and shed some tears with Dave telling his story,glad he made it through the tough times,what a great guy he is,keep up the good work Dodge!
Wow. This has to be one of the best podcasts, I've ever heard/watched. 100% respect for David!
Thanks Dave for being so honest. This will give others strength. Mental health is a killer, here in Australia it's even decades behind the UK so a lot of men suffer here without talking about it.
Thanks for your service, and keep on the path to wellness mate!
Good post brother
I’ve followed dave for a long long time, I can remember the day he put a post up saying he was going to end it all as he was a dangers to his family. I’m so so so glad to see the person he is today, total inspiration
This interview was gripping. Thank you to both !
Dodge, the best interview yet mate. For people suffering with PTSD etc (including myself), this was an awe inspiring tale of how mental illness in the Forces etc can be beaten, showing that there is hope after becoming so poorly. Well done mate.
That was one of the best interviews I've seen/heard. Very powerful and interesting. Best wishes to Dave and more military stories please Dodge! I find the underworld/gang land stories somewhat predictable even if they're interesting but anecdotes and accounts from soldiers and 'ordinary' people are fascinating and relatable in some way and I can appreciate the heroism that good people are capable of.
I'm forever grateful for what our military do and have done. I'll never truly know what it was like for them but I'm damn proud of them and I've read enough to understand and have an insight of what they've experienced. If anyone knows any vets that are struggling, please direct them to the relevant help or just lend them an ear and tell them how important they are. And if they'll let you, give them a hug.
Also Dodge, your interview 'style' is spot on, you genuinely want to hear what the guest has to say and don't interrupt. looking forqward to the next one!
Brilliant podcast Dodge, good man Dave glad you are still with us, never give up ❤
An amazing interview, you could see the vulnerability at times, I hope he continues on the journey and gets better. Well done Dodge, another great pod.
I’ve lived in that dark hole and it is a miserable place to be. It’s so nice that you finally saw the light. Children are the most treasured people in one’s life and I’m so happy for you, hold them close and cherish every moment you have with them.
Dave you are some bloke for one bloke! Nothing I say will make a difference but without you and others like you none of us would be here!
Wow, Dodge a great video. Radders, wishing you further peace and inner strength from a fellow Veteran.
By far the best podcast guest ive heard not just on your show but any podcast on this planet! Really enjoyed it.
Bloody hell. That had me hooked proper. Great effort on both parts. And total respect Dave.
What an amazing interview! Your so incredible Dave well done for turning your life around.
Keep bringing these great podcasts Dodge! Loving em x
Thank you Katie and will do 👍🏼👍🏼
Best podcast I've ever listened to. Top guy i could listen to this all-day and dodge asks all the right questions .....massive respect to dave that man is a hero 👏
This is one of the best interviews on the channel
Great to hear him say he's in a good place today - wishing you all the best mate, your honesty is commendable.
Great conversation Dodge 👏
Incredible interview as usual Dodge, very emotional ending - one of the best interviewers online. Huge respect for Dave too, amazing character.
You can hear the passion in the lads voice when he’s talking about operations, a true dedicated solider that stands by his words! I’d have this man any day on my six.
I loved this podcast so much. It’s very inspiring. I served in afghan as well. Haven’t seen half the things that Dave saw. But his mental health story really got to me in a positive way. I suffer from anxiety and it does effect my life. But I feel like I’m on a positive turn now with my meds. I certainly look forwards to hearing many more stories from other Vets and their healing processes. Thanks for this guys.
Unreal listen! Well done guys, one of the best episodes I’ve ever listened to.
Hands down the Best podcast dodge! And what a journey Dave’s been on and great to see the man come through the other side 👏👏
So glad I found your TH-cam page man, especially this one, hats off to this man for what he's been through
Dodge, you are becoming a legend yourself on here. The wide, varied fascinating true stories of other people's lifes are amazing. One of the reasons I reckon is they do their homework and see what a class act you are and as I have said before, one of the best interviewing techniques out there by a country mile. Sensible probing questions and letting the main focus of interview being on the person telling story is so different to what we normally have and include the names on mainstream TV. Ironically it brings focus to yourself as well as you are so different and do such a good job, that most people on here notice and you become a sub topic of how well you conduct both yourself and interview.
To be honest, having you being interviewed on the other side of the table would make a fascinating episode as would be interested hearing your back story as well.
Abba can do it mate - you can appear as a digital avatar and interview yourself. Guarantee lot subscribers would like to hear your own backstory..Class act my friend.
Wow that’s some compliment and I really appreciate you taking the time to give your feedback about what you have seen so far with our podcast.
Funny you should mention that, as over the past few months I keep getting messages saying they’d like me to be sat on the other side of the table.
Do you genuinely think people would be interested in hearing my story?
Good man 😊
Absolutely, we want to hear your story..please consider doing an episode.
Another fantastic video mate. You are well on your way to becoming a top podcast mate. All the best to Dave too. God bless boys.
This is insane. Brutal honesty. Love it.
Sooo honest 🙏
What a man. Thank you. Wish there were more human beings with your heart and morals. Such an inspiration to us that maybe struggling with things that pale into insignificance compared to what you have and continue to go through. ❤
This channel is the best. Great interview as always Dodge. Respect to Dave... A real worrier
Another great podcast mate... You get people who you dont really see on the usual podcast rounds. Look forward to Wednesday's. Makes life in the wagon more enjoyable. Thanks Dodge
Thanks Matthew!
Glad you’re enjoying the episodes 💥
Dodge 👍🏼👍🏼
Brilliant. What a fantastic and ultimately inspiring interview. Thank you both for that.
What a great interview. Dodge asks all the questions I want to know, but doesn't interrupt Dave Radband's flow and momentum.
The Biggest Fight in your life is revisiting the past and then moving forward. Well Done Dave Proud of you. Great Interview Dodge you were born to interview as you adapt accordingly.not many can do that. EX Veteran.😊
Thank you mate 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Kind words Billy 🙏
@@daveradband648first of all thank you for you're service.....I bet you know half of these Unit operators doing podcasts? Dave, you need a invite on the shawn Ryan show
Great podcast. Thank you both.
What an amazing interview Dodge! Dave I am so glad you seem to be in a good place. Use your experience to help others in similar situations. If only the likes of the Army could watch this and bring you back in but in a counselling type of role where you can right the wrongs that happened to you. All the best Dave
What a great podcast, perfect less is more from Dodge, and a brutally honest account from a bloke that has a fascinating story, one of the best so far and that is saying something.
Absolutely unbelievable podcast! Thank you Dave and Dodge. I’m so happy Dave has exorcised his demons and wish him all the best for the future
Dave’s a good man 🙏
"When You Come Back...." No Further Words Needed. You're a Decent Soldier, David. 🇬🇧🙏🏻🇬🇧
Thank You, Dodge, for getting these Interviews out to the Public. Every Soldier has a Story to tell.
This Platform is better than anything going in the Lamestream/Mainstream Media.
I don’t normally comment on TH-cam videos but got to say I have the upmost respect to Dave and I wish him all the very best for the future. Massive respect for his service in the army. What a exemplary strong man he has become. Great video and looking forward to more videos from Dodge 👍
One of the best episodes I’ve seen Dodge! Late to the party watching this one, but what a fantastic lad! Dave, thank you and wishing you all the very best 💪🏻
Wow!! Best one yet !! A real conversation between two real humans 👏🏽. Big !!
Good man Carl 😊
@DodgeWoodall Keep them coming, Dodge !!
Awesome interview. What a guy! Great to see he’s on a positive path after such a difficult past! Keep it up Dave!
I’ve only just found this channel, and wow I’m blown by this and many of the others I’ve listened too, I’m struggling coming from the Ambo to a new job, trauma of the past jobs, watching seeing things, going into an environment where people still have the mindset of mental health and men aren’t a thing, trying to fit in etc etc and too listen and understand other men talking makes me feel just that bit better that it is ok that there are others that are going through there own battles each one different but see other men talk about it, keep up the good work and the education of these podcasts big respect.
Please look up Trojan Wellbeing mate if you're struggling.
I’m addicted to these podcasts. Dodge you really bring out the emotion in your guests and I feel massively humbled by their stories. Huge respect for anyone serving in the forces. The stress and pressure these guys go through is immense! Not to mention the effect on their families. It makes my own simple struggles pail into significance and gives me strength to push through knowing that it could be 100 times worse.
Welcome on board 👍🏼👍🏼
Thats one of the best Forces podcast interviews ive ever watched. Thank you both 👍
Fair play, have been listening for months, this channel has got better and better!
Congratulations Sir! 👏🏻
Much appreciated Chris 👌🏼
@@DodgeWoodall When is part two with the animal bouncer? Thought I saw a picture? 👊🏻
Wow wow wow the best one yet.. what an honest humble bloke an absolute inspiration.. raw and so close to home in many ways..
Keep being you Dave massive respect, you parents siblings and children are no doubt grateful to have you in their lifes.
One love brother
This is the one of the best podcasts I’ve seen. Pure Raw. This guy is a hero
Fair play to you mate. Couldn’t imagine the demons you battle. I battle them day to day and haven’t seen a droplet of hell in comparison. Strength, love and luck to you Sir.
Incredible podcast dodge!! Best one I’ve seen fair play Dave . Your a good man
Such a raw interview!!! Good man.
This was an amazingly raw and real discussion. Dave I would love to see you write a book and also talk with Jocko on his podcast. It takes real strength to openly talk about such personal hardships. Thank you for telling us your story, we are so happy you could turn things around!
I never leave comments but…. this is the best pod cast I’ve ever seen and I’ve watched a lot.❤
Good man Adam 👍🏼👍🏼
Awesome went from being proud of this man to heartbroken to proud and envious of his accomplishments hats off to him and you this is by far imo the best one yet 👍👍👍👍🤝
Dodge what an amazing interview so powerful. Total respect to Dave I wish him and his family all the best x
Seriously intense journey. Feel for this man.
Outstanding discussion
What a guy 🤝 really engaging and powerful
Absolutely brilliant, thank you both
Great interview, and with a salt of the earth character. Deepest respect for those who gave so much, so young, so we and our children can enjoy a safe life.
A very articulate and professional young man.
I have lots of respect for anyone who’s served. But I have massive respect for special forces. It’s a honour and privilege to say hello David. Drinks are on me. Hope to see you and Dodge talk again.
What a amazing interview, honesty and straight too the point
My god this is gonna be a belter of a podcast
That was the best one so far Dodge. He has had a rollercoaster of a life a bloody good luck to him big 🙏
