This country is incredibly fortunate that it can produce proper men like Des. Very greatful.

I’m fortunate to know Des in person, although my first exposure to him was at 18 years old in Fermanagh, NI 1981. He used to be into his weights big time and had an incredible physique and being a crow, I had the job of changing his weights whilst he was bench pressing. A great guy, humble guy and a guy you do not cross. Looking well Des if you read this. Spot on Dodge, great interview.

Much appreciated 🙌

The Joy in Dessies face when talking about all the stuff he hss done is amazing. Although he has probably lost good mates his excitement is great.🙏

Dodge, get Des on the Podcast again please, I could easily listen for another 2 hours, old school military, don't make them like Des any more. Polite,humble, intelligent,and hard as nails. 👍

Great interview with a true Gentleman in Des Powell - note, he did not swear / curse once which is unusual in this day and age. Just goes to show the sheer class of this man. Well done Dodge on a fantastic interview.

What a humble guy, genuine hand on heart honest fella, no bullshit for likes. Totally enjoyed this podcast. Kind of guy you would chat to in the supermarket and not have a clue he is a trained killing machine!

These podcasts will truly inspire next generations, keep going Dodge and thanks for your service Des, shoulders of giants.

Des seems a top bloke and really genuine and down to earth - a rare combination. Great interview. Well done Dodge

I've had the privilege of knowing Des for a number of years and he's an absolute true gentleman - very humble, extremely funny and a man you can rely on. Top bloke - great interview Dodge.

Dodge this is a the best episode and insight to the Special Air Service, not the conversational stories. Des is the real deal 💪🏻

I tip my hat to everyone in the armed forces you guys are just amazing what you go through..so massive respect to you guys .💯👍💪❤️

I've got Des's book. What a gent he is. No attitude or arrogance. I guess the more top tier you become the less you have to blow your trumpet. Great video with a great guest. Nice comments from Dodge as well, can tell he really meant them.

Brilliant podcast loved every minute. Des is a proper bloke, my respect for SF soldiers knows no bounds. They are truly built different 🇬🇧🫡

This one absolutely flew by. Thanks. Des is a proper Yorkshireman. Thanks, guys.

Great conversation with the usual easy-going technique of Dodge asking relevant questions. Top man Des. Great stuff. Thanks for your service.

Great podcast Dodge. I knew instantly he’s a Sheffield lad before saying where he was from with the accent. What a story and what a gentleman! Get him on again.

One of the best interviews yet. What a man, incredible life.

This should be a banger can't wait to watch & listen to this I love the SAS & ALL BRITISH MEMBERS OF THE ARMED FORCES they have some unbelievable stories to tell & what they went through in there service is amazing all I can say to all BRITISH ARMED FORCES MEMBERS PAST PRESENT & FUTURE THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE & FOR KEEPING OUR COUNTRY SAFE ❤❤❤😊

Amazing episode. Great content, as always, mate!

Fantastic Interview Dodge, keep it up brother. This was a good one!

What he said about buddying up and doing the simple things which are hard in certain circumstances I never really considered. Shows you how sometimes it's the basic simple tasks that carry you through. Great watch

One lesson I learned and always remembered was to watch out for the quiet lads who suddenly become talkative and vice versa for the talkative types. Sounds obvious but it can be missed. A change in character shows something might be wrong.

I read Des Powells book . Bravo 3 zero .Good book . I'm really looking forward to listening to this. Thanks 😊

Great podcast! Super ingesting. Thank you.

Nice one dodge I’ve listened to Bravo Three Zero audiobook and am super excited to listen to this episode

@@DodgeWoodall cheers for a glimpse into these peoples stories dodge. 👍 said it before your the best host I have watched. You handle yourself with class and a warmth , that puts a lot of guests at ease and it really is a chat. And that even comes across to us viewers. Have no doubt your not a soft fella , but fook me , you'd be hard to argue with. you also are a gent dodge. Dodge you know the South African guy military you had on got paralysed, absolute diamond fella, his name escapes me, but his story and fortitude will always be with me, he rode bikes and a ex forces fella built a custom side car using his own bike for him , it took the breathing equipment etc. Was a touching show BUT EVEN MORE SO AS YOU BROUGHT HIS STORY TO US. So to see him getting a buzz was... errr eerrrr well I was cutting onions earlier 😢 to my mrs.

A great episode as always

Top man, great listening to his story. Very inspiring. 👍🍺

Great episode very informative and now I know much more about the SAS than I do before... Exactly what he was saying about when he was fishing for information about the selection process and nobody would give him anything that's ABIT like me on sas knowledge until this interview 😅

Best advice I was ever given To finish 1st you have to finish first

Looking forward to this Des is a great guy

Most Brits have no idea, when they say the UK is some spent force in the World while a small group of SAS operatives go out to turn the tide or direction of entire nations - on the basis of a few missions (Such as the SCUD search and destroy missions) which irrevocably changes the destiny of entire nations. I mean, it's Hollywood level narratives but it's actually true. What get's me always, is that it's actually effin true. Words are useless, huge respect for this man and his comrades - but sad to think 90% of people in this country will never know. Blessings to you sir, I can't think pf praise worthy of your actions.

Brilliant listen and Des has some amazing adventures. New subscriber here. 👍🏻
