Out of everything we talked about I was surprised how hard the Al-Qaeda v IRA episode was on the cast.Max took the oppurtunity to educate us on the impact that landmines have on civilians caught in these dangerous warzones. He shared the Adopt A Mindfield site which is a great organization. The Campaign helps save lives by raising funds for mine clearance, mine risk education, and survivor assistance ranging from physical rehabilitation to vocational trainings and psychosocial support. AAM also engages in advocacy initiatives to foster awareness about the impact of landmines, cluster bombs, and all explosive remnants of war. If you want to help your fellow man and do something special please check it out and help protect innocent people from getting hurt.
Geoff explained alot of the biological aspects of the battles as well as some great literary recommendations such as
On Killing
And Wired For War
I enjoyed having them on and learned alot. I also appreciated the time they spent discussing other things from the show. Have a listen and enjoy!
