Men on Show
"Candid conversations with everyday heroes"
Heroes don't always come regaled in capes or fly through the air.
Sometimes you could (and quite likely have) walked past one on the street and not even known.
We hear so many stories about men behaving badly, but what about the men being brilliant?
Join Andrew Pain as he finds and chats to these "everyday heroes", ordinary men who have done, and are doing extraordinary things.

S1 E11 - Chris Thrall | Men, Addiction and Recovery
Chris has travelled to eighty countries across seven continents, run 999 miles the length of Britain unsupported, completed a quadruple ironman triathlon, is a qualified pilot, skydiver, bestselling author, Antarctic explorer and polar scuba diver (I’m feeling cold already)
He’s also English Veteran of the Year and is bold enough (or bonkers) to have driven volunteer journalists to India and back in an old and unroadworthy school bus, to highlight global inequality and poverty!
He was awarded the Second level commendation of the Finnish nation on the grounds of human generosity for his ability to inspire others.
Key points from this episode:
- How and why he joined the forces
- A battle with addiction
- A rather scary adventure in the desert.
- A surprising view on enlightenment
- His views on "toxic mascilinity"
- A message of encourgement
