We are excited to announce the launch of General Talk, a monthly podcast featuring interviews with figures from the British Army and ABF The Soldiers’ Charity. A new episode will be available to listen to on the first Friday of every month.
The podcast series, hosted by Harry Bucknall, will give you a greater insight into the ever-changing role of the military in the modern world and the way in which we, as the Army’s national charity, safeguard the welfare of our soldiers, veterans and their families.
Our first episode kicks off with our charity’s outgoing President and former Chief of the General Staff, General Sir Mike Jackson. Tune in to hear him talk Kosovo, James Blunt, comradeship and gardening.
