The Unconventional Soldier

"Letting the Guest Tell the Story"

A military podcast from former British soldiers of the Army's Surveillance and Target Acquisition Patrols unit.

Series One traced the unit’s origins, the intense selection process, and its secretive “stay-behind” mission during the Cold War. You'll hear firsthand accounts from 40 years of global operations, culminating in an interview with the current Officer Commanding.

Future series go beyond the unit bringing you gripping personal stories from WWII through to the War on Terror. Every episode ends with book and film reviews to keep your military mind sharp.

One mission. One story at a time.

New episodes monthly—sometimes more.
