Tales Less Told podcast
Australia
Приєднався 27 лип 2018
Tales Less Told tells the stories of unsung individuals around the world leading unconventional lives. They've eschewed the corporate life, the safe bet, the cushy job. Some work at the forefront of conservation, hunting poachers, protecting vulnerable wildlife and establishing initiatives to help solve often intractable problems. Others work at the gritty end of security, occasionally risking their lives. Hosted by Rich Johnson, the Tales Less Told podcast casts a light on their lives, experiences, motivations and frustrations. No two stories are the same. Emerging themes include African wildlife conservation, anti-poaching and military. These are not exclusive however, and if there's an unconventional life story waiting to be heard, Tales Less Told is the place to hear it. Have a listen. If it grabs you, please consider subscribing and supporting the podcast to tell more stories.
The life of Colonel 'Mad Mike' Hoare, as told by his son and biographer, Chris Hoare
Colonel 'Mad Mike' Hoare leapt to international fame in 1960s Congo, leading 5 Commando mercenaries in the conflict-ravaged nation. His feats formed the basis of the film 'The Wild Geese', starring Richard Burton, but they didn't end there. In this interview, Mike's eldest son and biographer lifts the curtain into his father's unusual life, one underpinned by the philosophy of 'living dangerously'.

Переглядів 374 тис.4 роки тому
In May 1985 Captain Wynand du Toit was leading a team of 4 Recce commandos, South Africa's elite naval Special Forces, to destroy a Cabinda oil refinery hundreds of kilometres behind enemy lines. They were compromised however; two men were killed and du Toit was captured, and spent the next 2.5 years in solitary confinement as a prisoner of the Angolan and Cuban forces. He tells his story here....

Safari by foot - a trails guide's story
Переглядів 4,4 тис.5 років тому
Disease and a near fatal accident meant Bruce Lawson spent much of his early life in a wheelchair and crutches. Somehow he crafted a career as a trails guide, and spent a couple of years walking the length of Africa. With over 30 years of walking trails guide experience in Africa, you'd think Bruce Lawson would have seen it all. But as he explains, life in the wild is full of surprises and less...

😂😂😂who is Jesse Jackson?😂😂😂 A joke now that Trump is in
Ach du Liebe! living in the past does make you a legend it makes you story teller trying to make a buck of stories you tell - real heroes are remembered of deeds not stories History will reflect that the Afrikaner lost to an inferior military force because they deserved to loose and did not have faith in them self. en ek is n Afrikaans sperkende verbitterde Boer. Kondoom kop de Klerk en die stemgeregtidge Afrikaners het die land verkoop aan die ANC onder die leiding van die NG Kerk.
Daniel u is nou serker tot ander insigte nè?
WE NEED MERCENARIES PEOPLE.I MEAN ,THEY WERE EVEN RAPING NUNS AND EATING PEOPLE and MErcenaries have saved NATOs ass more than a few times.War is ugly, I mean,loik at all the cincentration camps you can clearlybl see via satellite imagery.When it was jews in camps, it turned into Ww2, but the poor North Koreans

Who the fuc.k is jessie jackson 💪💪 Respect Wynand 💪💪
Bly maar n poepol,
Wie?
Facnating interview. Global/geo politics certainly played a major role. Intetesting comment about the ANC armed wing.
A lot of this now makes sense. Dankie Wynand.Held!
No mention of Kissinger's part in this devious tale.
This man is great wish to meet him one day
Robinson Cynthia Williams Linda Walker Dorothy
Have heard a lot about Harry Carlse. Anybody know anything about him now?
The demise of the English Speaking World is the greatest single calamity to befall mankind in the last 100+ years.
Incorrect, the biggest concern to mankind is the fall in testosterone and sperm counts, increasing infertility and the impact of microplastics and endocrine disruptors……..your view is narrow minded and ill informed. We, all humans (not just English speakers) are at risk
Makes no sense, English is the lingua franca. English is taught in schools in almost every country, pretty typical narrow minded race bating at best lol.
@@dimebagdarrel00 I think what he means is the poor prospects for younger generations living in English speaking countries, English can be the universal Lingua Franca and the countries of majority English speakers can have poor prospects looking forward.
Yes, your right, the street I live on in overpriced so cal. Turns into Tijuana once the click hits 6p.m. All the unsanitary taco stands pop up on every corner,every parking lot, and right in front of legitimate restaurants that pay their property taxes,rent,pass health inspections in the meantime are losing business because of the majority if these taco(illegal casinos+prostitution rings)have taken over North Hollywood. All of this illegal immigration from Mexico is killing home and business owners here.we need some mercenaries to deport all of the illegal here.wo Momen and children, can stay. The rest , get out .
That was a quick hour. Would like to see on on Ralf Steiner.
No doubt.....sending them to the East, to the ONE spot for the Hide. Total set-up. Might as well have sent them through the front gate, with everyone watching. Politicians.....FW de Clown and the rest of his Mommy's boys. Of course, the proper question is....WHO controlled the National Party. That's right, the Broederbond. Who is the Broederbond ? Easy......the link to the British East India Company. The Power in London. The Puppetmasters. Class dismissed.
Sounds like the movie 13 hours.
boost
Colonel's Hoare made a huge mistake by trusting the South African government.
7SAI 85-87 So we have them a hiding. We were sold out.
Respect. 🫡
China has invested in africa Recently!
Eritrea is a colony of China for all intents and purposes. Factory workers there learn songs extolling the Communist Chinese Government in Chinese, and thousands of Chinese troops are garrisoned in Eritrea to protect Chinese interests with force of arms if need be.
Hehehehehe sop sop sop
Wow Wow Wow !!! I always knew the way our country changed so quickly from PE Botha to FW De Klerk was suspect. I was in the army at the time, and yes I believe FW sold us out 😡😡
Hello Marius. Hope you are well. Please provide an opportunity explanation for this. I'm a young man and have no idea about this at all...
Without SA forces SW would NOT be Namibia or peaceful. Never hear about that sucess. The Whites and Black's fought together. The government policies were racist, your individual troop was not.
Remember the Romeo Mikes of 101 Bn? I was with them in '87....
Very insightful interview. Balanced perspectives. Humility, honor, integrity, respect, adaptability, flexibility, toughness. Good relational and emotional intelligence, true soldier, combo of compassion and professionalism.
To be in so many high danger situations with the bullets flying everywhere and not be killed, never mind live to be a hundred, is amazing. He must have had a guardian angel watching over him. Enjoyed the podcast, glad I don't live near those dogs!!
Well-spoken and knowledgeable. We're very proud of these operators. They were the best of the best. Proud of you, brother
Good questions, and great answers. He is articulate, knowledgeable, sincere and concise.
I had the the privilege or undergoing a trails guide course under the guidance of Bruce and Phil over 10 years ago in Makuleke,it was one of the most fulfilling experiences in my life and something I would recommend to anyone who wants to connect with nature, irrespective of their age, at the time I was 55 years old. Greetings Bruce,I believe you are now living in oz, that’s our loss.
thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Truly a man who chose his own destiny. He wasnt afraid to risk everything and lived a life of real adventure. I wish I would have been alive and able to be there during these years. What a time. RIP Mike Hoare.
INDIA GAVE THE PORTUGESE A TROUGH THRASHING BACK IN THE 1960s. NO NATO HELP FOR THEIR FOUNDING MEMBER PORTUGAL. SWEDEN AND ITS PARAMILITARY AND MILITARY NOTE THIS. INDIA WAS WEAK BACK THEN. WATCHOUT SWEDEN.
Very interesting interview thank you both
Rhodesian SAS , RLI etc we’re top class special forces , combined with the South African special forces you have got yourself a deadly killing machine . Brilliant soldiers .
The Americans interference in the change over from the old South Africa to the new government was exactly the same interference by the Americans and the British governments that happened to the Rhodesians . The Mugabe regime was not ready or responsible enough to rule a country , and Ian Smith told the world this , but America and Britain interfered with their evil dirty politics . Politicians are the cause of all wars , they are responsible for the millions of deaths all over this world ! I found this interesting and the interview was very honest and professional . Sadly imprisoned for what .. my heart feels sad for this man . My respect goes out to him and sorrow for those soldiers that lost their lives because of those politicians .
I actialy cried. It is heartbreaking to think young soldiers lost their lives because of political players on the world stage playing chess.
I remember some nights after the news the names was shown of all the soldiers names that perished in the war.
So many lives unnecessarily lost and in the firing line.
as a former namibian ,actually from the Buschland obalantu 🙏now luckily become a German citizen, I’m happy that frederik willem de Klerk did the same like michel Gorbachev(former Soviet leader) both politicians funny 1990 they sell out. Mister de Klerk 1990 he sell his country/poeple cheap to anc and Gorbachev sell the former Communist east Germany( DDR) to west Germany. Swapo used a refugee camp in kassinga/angola us a military base.they went down to the south west African border and terrorized the SADF,poeple…… The SADF clear Kassinga in the 70s. I was in that camp during the fighting time us a 4 years kid but wasn’t hurt/ injured from any bomb…. In 1979 till 1990 swapo sent me to communist east Germany to be preaper one day to fight the SADF but when I saw all information about the SADF we never would have a chance to win against the SADF,never,they did told us how well the SADF are organized.Thank you God that I have wonderful peaceful life in beloved Germany
Remember Hannes Ferreira's death on your behalf, also Theo Kieser.
Readers believe me when I Say that no one can really understand what a Recce is - IRON FIST FROM THE SEA - The best of the best !!! Wragtig !!!
Never trust a politician, but yes high treason was clearly committed.
Good interview with Col du Toit. South Africa was certainly misled by ruling class in 1994 but nothing is forever and something will ultimately be salvaged from the wreckage.
Mad Mike was a man among men !
Eugene De Kock
Wynand was betrayed by Pik Botha
How do you know?
