Wow! I worked in Thames Valley Police Custody as a Detention Officer few years back and actually remember David coming in a few times. Gotta say its so good to see he's doing loads better, every one of us in Custody had the utmost respect for him and could see he was battling demons. Well done buddy, so good to see you're on a better and more positive path.

Hi mate, I do remember you. All your help at that hard time in my life is greatly appreciated. Thank you all very much mate. And all the best to you

I grew up about 5 minures walk from the bogside in derry, born in 71 so the troubles were my youth. I went to Newcastle upon Tyne to do a degree and ran into a few para's and some royal marines as well, some of the soundest most centred people I ever met, great lads. Really enjoyed this podcast, excellent, honest conversation and i hope things work out well for David 👍

[@N1ck0A]

ffs Dodge you caught me off guard there. I’m not crying…you’re crying! 😭 Wow, another incredible story and another reminder we need to take more care of our kids’ emotions and stop bullying in all its forms, to take much better care of our war vets and remember they are emotionally vulnerable young boys underneath those muscles and tattoos. These boys and girls that put themselves in harm’s way for me have my full respect. Another flipping belter Dodge, you’re absolutely smashing this!

[@stuk8540]

Life is a journey, not a destination. What a moving interview with an intelligent man. I wish Dave all the best.

I’ve lived in that dark hole and it is a miserable place to be. It’s so nice that you finally saw the light. Children are the most treasured people in one’s life and I’m so happy for you, hold them close and cherish every moment you have with them.

[@FlawedFabrications]

I really hope Dave continues to thrive and get better. Another thing I find is that people underestimate just how much of an effect things that happen to you as a child can have on your adult personality and psychological state. Things like being in an abusive environment, getting bullied, etc, these things never truly go away and have a greater impact on our mental health than we realize. A really good saying I like is "the body remembers what the conscious mind chooses to forget".

[@Chef-1707]

Dodge, you are becoming a legend yourself on here. The wide, varied fascinating true stories of other people's lifes are amazing. One of the reasons I reckon is they do their homework and see what a class act you are and as I have said before, one of the best interviewing techniques out there by a country mile. Sensible probing questions and letting the main focus of interview being on the person telling story is so different to what we normally have and include the names on mainstream TV. Ironically it brings focus to yourself as well as you are so different and do such a good job, that most people on here notice and you become a sub topic of how well you conduct both yourself and interview. To be honest, having you being interviewed on the other side of the table would make a fascinating episode as would be interested hearing your back story as well. Abba can do it mate - you can appear as a digital avatar and interview yourself. Guarantee lot subscribers would like to hear your own backstory..Class act my friend.

[@DodgeWoodall]

Wow that’s some compliment and I really appreciate you taking the time to give your feedback about what you have seen so far with our podcast. Funny you should mention that, as over the past few months I keep getting messages saying they’d like me to be sat on the other side of the table. Do you genuinely think people would be interested in hearing my story? Good man 😊

[@Chef-1707]

Absolutely, we want to hear your story..please consider doing an episode.

[@dylanjohns8409]

Hyper-vigilance is what I used to know as Hyper-awareness. It's amazing how many things you can keep track of when you experience it, they say men can't multitask but this state of mind shows it is possible. Takes a bit of time for it to wear off as well. Thankfully, it's not something I've required, for a few decades now!

[@SkipSidekick]

That was one of the best interviews I've seen/heard. Very powerful and interesting. Best wishes to Dave and more military stories please Dodge! I find the underworld/gang land stories somewhat predictable even if they're interesting but anecdotes and accounts from soldiers and 'ordinary' people are fascinating and relatable in some way and I can appreciate the heroism that good people are capable of. I'm forever grateful for what our military do and have done. I'll never truly know what it was like for them but I'm damn proud of them and I've read enough to understand and have an insight of what they've experienced. If anyone knows any vets that are struggling, please direct them to the relevant help or just lend them an ear and tell them how important they are. And if they'll let you, give them a hug. Also Dodge, your interview 'style' is spot on, you genuinely want to hear what the guest has to say and don't interrupt. looking forqward to the next one!

[@liziwood6370]

The honest way Dave opens up & talks about the what he has been through is staggering, esp to someone to whom this life is foreign. But I have to say I am totally floored at the lack of ongoing & follow-up care & psychological assistance after combat tours. It is surely the responsibility of the military organisations to care for these veterans who have given so much of themselves - body, mind & spirit. To feel such pain that the best option is to check out is heartbreaking & it's great to hear Dave is now getting the help he needs & is in a much better place. Wish him all the best
