About Ordinary people's extraordinary stories & Everyday Conversations Regarding Mental Health
Welcome to The Tim Heale Podcast, where history comes alive through the people who lived it, and every story is grounded in real experience. I'm Tim Heale, a British Army veteran, broadcaster, military historian and author of The Parallel Six series, with 44 years of service in the British Army, serving in Germany during the Cold War, Northern Ireland, the Balkans, Afghanistan and Iraq. Each episode brings together real military stories, forgotten history, travel, interviews, and personal experiences from over fifty years of adventure. From battlefields and memorials to regimental traditions, motorcycle journeys across Europe, and life behind the microphone, you'll hear the stories that rarely make it into the history books. Whether we're exploring Waterloo, Arnhem, Berlin, Normandy, Kosovo or the mountains of Morocco, every programme is built on careful research, first-hand experience, and a genuine passion for keeping history alive. Along the way you'll also discover stories from the world of rugby, skiing, motorcycling, broadcasting, and the remarkable people I've met throughout my military and civilian life. If you enjoy military history, true stories, travel, and authentic conversation, you're in the right place. Subscribe and join a growing community of veterans, families, historians, and enthusiasts who believe the past should never be forgotten. Real history. Real people. Real stories.

Old Friends, Odd Questions | The Artie & Hudson Show Episode 12
Published 23 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] Quite true. But these were not questions about old postings, rugby or who had embarrassed themselves at dinner. They were about routes, borders, timings and where Petra travelled. That does sound rather more specific, especially if they were asking about places Tim had only mentioned to a handful of people. Exactly. One old acquaintance seemed particularly interested in borders, another in which factories Tim visited, or whether Petra still went everywhere with him. So Tim had old friends making polite conversation, except the conversation sounded suspiciously like somebody filling in gaps on a report. […]
