”Letting the guest tell the story”.

A military podcast by former soldiers from the British Army’s long range Surveillance and Reconnaissance Patrols unit.

Our first series covers the inception of the unit with its founder Major General Anthony Stone CB, the selection of the soldiers, the unique ”stay behind” role during the Cold War, the multiple operational tours they deployed on over the last 40 years finishing on an interview with the current serving officer commanding the unit.

In subsequent series we have set ourselves a wider remit and cover first hand accounts of past conflicts from World War 2 to the War on Terror and everything in between . All our podcasts finish off with book & film reviews and recommendations. We normally upload a monthly episode (sometimes more). Available wherever you get you podcasts from. Also on YouTube.

This podcast may use dynamic content insertion

Stats: Statistics are produced by Podbean to help The Unconventional Soldier to understand how many downloads it is getting, or how many people are listening. Your device’s IP address and user agent is used to help calculate this figure. Podbean is IAB v2 certified.

Dynamic content insertion: Podbean may use limited data that they know about you - the device you’re using, the approximate location you’re in, or other data that can be derived from this, like the current weather forecast for your area - to change parts of the audio. The Unconventional Soldier may do this for advertising or for other forms of content, like news stories.

The Unconventional Soldier is able to use the above tools since its podcast host or measurement company offers this service. It doesn’t mean that this individual podcast uses them, or has access to this functionality. We use open data.

This podcast doesn’t have a trailer. Apple Podcasts has a specific episode type for a trailer, which also gets used by Spotify and many other podcast apps: but there isn’t one correctly marked in the RSS feed from Podbean.
Podcast episode titles may include episode numbers, which is against Apple Podcasts guidelines and makes it harder to listen to your podcast on smart speakers. Here is what Apple wants to do, and why.

Get a universal link

https://podnews.net/podcast/i9zng/listen is a so-called universal link: it will automatically open Google Podcasts on Android phones, Apple Podcasts on iOS devices, or this page. Both Apple Podcasts and the Google Podcasts player are pre-installed on every phone.

A QR code to this URL is a great way to share your podcast. You’ll find a QR code at the top of this page on desktop. It’s particularly ideal for business cards, posters or conventions.

But - you are always better to fully control your own podcast and not rely on any third-party - even us. So, here’s the code to add a universal link to your own website. Copy/paste this HTML into a new file on your website, and link to that instead.
