And we are back!..... it's been a whirl of media work, writing, training and the damn day job, but have we got a show for you.  First up is a guy who's experienced the kind of things first hand most of us have only ever seen in movies and video games, - this weeks guest is a dear friend and dare I say it, an honest to goodness hero! If there was to be a movie of his life it would literally have to be the late John Wayne...(apologies Ben Affleck, you've not enough cojones) playing him, that's the gravitas this man exudes. A real life war hero, a man of integrity, honour and wisdom.. and the only Green Beret I know with 2 degrees, well the only Green Beret I know... Mr Anthony Ciccesse! If you've ever wondered what a well read special forces soldier sounds like, then wonder no more.. Speaking to him literally changed my life. and changed how I view combat, I'll admit I had a simplistic look at warfare... enjoy!!  Mick's Martial Arts is a Paint Your Headphones production for Abrupt Audio, and is recorded on an iPhone7 with an Apogee Condenser Mic and a TASCAM DR100.
