🎙️ Frankie’s Pod is where stories hit harder than ration packs and last longer than your issued kit. From the barracks to the bullsh*t, we dive into life during and after military service — no filters, no fluff, just real voices and raw stories. But it's not all camouflage and combat. We also speak to civilians, misfits, and unfiltered legends with stories you didn’t see coming — from mental health and resilience to chaos, creativity, and the occasional existential crisis. 🪖 Veterans. 🧠 Interesting humans. 🎧 Absolute honesty.

Episode 86: From Deckhand to Community Anchor: Peter Watt’s Journey from the Royal Navy to Veterans' Breafast Clubs

In this heartfelt episode, we sit down with Peter Watt, former Royal Navy Deckhand and a leading member of the Hebburn Armed Forces & Veterans Breakfast Club. Peter takes us back to his roots in Jarrow, sharing stories of growing up in the North East before setting sail with the Navy.

He opens up about life at sea, the lessons learned, and the challenges faced — both during service and after. Peter also shares how the Veterans Breakfast Club became a lifeline for connection, support, and purpose, and why it’s more important now than ever.

A powerful conversation about service, identity, and the bonds that last long after the uniform comes off.
