  Retired Navy SEAL Drago Dzieran takes listeners behind the scenes of his incredible life, from an impoverished childhood in Communist-controlled Poland to his time as a political prisoner, to his twenty years as a member of the United States military's most elite fighting force. 
   
   
   
  Everything I have, I owe to America—the greatest country in the world. 
   
   
   
  I have been fighting oppression and defending freedom my entire life. When I became a United States citizen, I felt it was my moral obligation to give back to this country and the people who had given me freedom. I wanted to serve my new country in the best capacity I could, so when the first Persian Gulf War broke out, I decided to join the military. During my Navy career, I performed over one hundred combat direct action missions in Iraq from 2003 to 2005. 
   
   
   
  My chance to live as a free man is only possible because of the ideals the founding fathers fought for and that have been carried forward to this day by Americans. 
   
   
   
  Every person has a voice, and every voice matters. I will continue to encourage others to get involved, stand up, and preserve and cherish the freedom and liberty we have in America.

  This is the story of a bush legend of the 20th Century. A man who shunned society and chose to live a life alone with nature, with the mighty Murray River as his lifeline for 54 years. Max Jones, a Detective Sergeant with the South Australian Police Force became interested in "The Possum" and to why he had "gone bush."  
  Was he a murderer on the run?  
  Had he committed serious crimes that lead to him avoiding all human contact for years? Max Jones instincts as a police officer lead him on a 28 year quest to get to the bottom of the mystery. The Possum roamed hundreds and a times thousands of kilometres along the Murray and often was not sighted for years at a time.  
  Max Jones during breaks in his police duties would set out in search of the Possum, often tracking him for many days only for the Possum's tracks to disappear into the Murray where the recluse would swim across the river or seek refuge on one other many small islands in the river system. But Max persisted and not only did he track down the Possum, he gained his confidence and heard the real reason why he had turned his back on society.  
  This is a remarkable story of survival against the odds and of two men who have established themselves in Australian outback folklore.

  Our Daily Bread: From Argos to...

  Father Alex Frost, Alastair...

  A warmly funny, intensely moving and startlingly personal account of the lives of an urban parish priest and his parishioners.  
  Father Alex Frost was not always a man of the cloth. He found his calling while running an Argos store in his native Burnley, moonlighting as a stand-up comedian and die-hard fan of The Clarets and Depeche Mode. 
  But having achieved his profession, Fr Alex quickly recognised the 17,000 inhabitants of his new parish were in dire need of help. Burnley is typical of many towns across Britain: a place of run-down council estates, severe poverty litter, crime and drugs, but also a place where the sacred sits alongside the secular in an intimate and personal way. And so it was that he found himself running a food bank from a car park, helping the desperate amid his flock as the pandemic raged. 
  Fr Alex’s down-to-earth style of ministry struck a chord with people of all faiths, cultures and class at a time when the divide between rich and poor is widening cataclysmically. But amid the tragedy, addiction, appalling loss, illness and neglect, there also lies hope, joy and moments of comedy. Our Daily Bread is as much the story of the rich cast of characters that cross the threshold of any church as it is our vicar’s. Through them it shows the continued relevance of the church for those in peril: the poor and the marginalised. 
  This heartfelt and moving book seeks to give a voice to the voiceless, charting the tragedy and pain, humour and hope which are ever-present in his community. It is ultimately about modern poverty – and how we all can, and should, espouse Christian virtues of love, kindness, tolerance. 
  In Our Daily Bread, Father Alex Frost provides a raw and unfiltered look into the lives of those living on the fringes of society, their struggles with homelessness, and the power of volunteer work in alleviating their suffering. His spiritual journey, from managing an Argos store to becoming a beacon of hope for his parishioners, is a testament to the transformative power of faith and religion. 
  For fans of Richard Coles (Bringing in the Sheaves), Paula Gooder (Women and Men in Scripture and the Church), Rowan Williams (Passions of the Soul), Stephen Cottrell (Praying by Heart), and Colin Heber-Percy (Tales of a Country Parish).

  Stop Screaming I'm Scared Too

  ‘Stop screaming, I’m scared too!’ is not what you’d expect to see on the back of a loadmaster’s helmet in a Chinook helicopter flying over southern Afghanistan, but for Rod Henderson it sums up his 22 years of service as a soldier in the Australian Army. 
   
  During the busiest period in the Army’s history, Rod was deployed to East Timor, Papua New Guinea, Pakistan and Afghanistan. In Australia, he was involved in counter terrorism operations and disaster recovery. From an infantry paratrooper, to Chinook loadmaster and Black Hawk door gunner, Rod reveals an enthralling and unique perspective of service. 
   
  Whether it is ‘right place wrong time’ or just unlucky, he found himself in a series of life threatening and traumatic events. Each one took a toll. Accepting the physical injuries and mental health challenges from his service, Rod found healing in the hallowed halls of the Australian War Memorial. 
   
  This is not the story of a general or a Special Forces hero. It is the extraordinary memoir of a regular Australian soldier. Like so many others who have served their country with honour and distinction, the little-known stories of ordinary soldiers deserve to be told.  
   
  In Stop Screaming, I’m Scared Too, Rod reveals the depth of his soldiering experiences with humour, humility, self-reflection and honesty. 
   
  ‘This book is part Chickenhawk and part Exit Wounds … a powerful and timely contribution to a nation’s understanding of what we ask of our service men and women and the debt we owe …’ MATT ANDERSON PSM, Director, Australian War Memorial
