"Ambushed in the Amazon: Survival, Resilience, and the Unfinished Expedition" John Bathgate and Ian Roberts

For the first time on the podcast, we welcome two extraordinary guests whose lives are stitched together by courage, brotherhood, and the wild call of adventure. 🎙️ Meet John Bathgate and Ian Roberts, both former Royal Marines who’ve taken everything they learned in service and channelled it into a bold mission—one that spans continents, challenges danger, and speaks to the power of purpose. 🔥 From the Scottish Highlands and Dartmoor rivers to the heart of the Amazon jungle, their journey is as thrilling as it is meaningful. John’s quest to complete an expedition his legendary climber father once dreamed of became very real when pirates forced him and Ian to flee for their lives. But their mission didn’t end there. Through Summit to Sea, they’re planning a return—not just to finish what they started, but to shine a light on environmental protection, mental health, and the untold stories of the people of the Amazon Basin. https://www.summittosea.org.uk/ This episode is packed with raw honesty, wild landscapes, and the kind of human spirit that refuses to quit. 🎧 Listen now and be inspired to see adventure, challenge, and purpose in a whole new light.

"Troy Townsend: Fighting for Equality, Mental Health & Change in Football"

This week, we sit down with a true game-changer in football and social advocacy—Troy Townsend MBE Hon.D.Sc. For over a decade, Troy led the charge against discrimination in football as Head of Player Engagement at Kick It Out. He worked tirelessly with players, clubs, and governing bodies to tackle racism, promote equality, and create lasting change in the sport. Now, with his own consultancy, Troy continues his mission—educating young players, parents, and staff on the realities of discrimination and the mental pressures of elite football. Beyond the game, Troy’s impact runs deep. From mentoring young athletes to producing the powerful documentary It Was All A Dream: The Football Academy Journey, his work sheds light on the harsh realities of the academy system. His personal journey—from losing his own football dream at 16 to receiving an MBE for services to football and social change—is a testament to resilience, purpose, and the power of speaking out. 🎙 In this episode, we discuss: ⚽ The fight against racism in football 🧠 Mental health and the pressures of young players 🏆 His own journey from heartbreak to becoming a leading advocate 🎧 His work shaping football’s most powerful documentaries Troy Townsend is a voice football—and society—cannot afford to ignore.

"Community First: David Keane on Grassroots Change and Local Leadership"

In this episode of Heroes Among Us, we sit down with David Keane, a local leader whose deep-rooted passion for Huntingdonshire has shaped a career of service, advocacy, and action. Born in Huntingdon and raised in St Ives, David's journey took him across the UK and Europe in a successful marketing career before returning home to make a difference where it matters most. Since 2016, he’s been a Parish and District Councillor, championing projects like Timebanking, flood prevention, and community-led services in Houghton & Wyton. Now stepping up to the County Council, David shares his vision to fix the basics—potholes, planning, public services—while tackling the bigger picture: overdevelopment, environmental protection, and cutting through bureaucracy to get things done. We talk candidly about what it’s really like being a Councillor, how to get people more engaged in local democracy, and the hopes and fears surrounding the proposed shake-up of local government. If you care about where you live and want to understand how local leadership really works, this is a must-listen.
