Being Autistic, Criminal Life & Dark Humour - Some Topics May Offend!

In the Through Adversity Podcast, Rich Jones (The Lost Soldier) gets into it with guests about the course their lives have taken. Whether it’s about being a veteran of the armed forces, criminal justice reform, severe mental health issues, or other harrowing life experiences, Rich is here to explore what makes us all keep going. 

In this introductory episode Rich chats with his partner-in-crime Chris about why they’re doing the podcast and what their goals are. They ask each other questions about their different career paths, which both involve different levels of criminal activity and serving in the Armed Forces.
