For three and a half years, BBC correspondent James Waterhouse was the face of the Ukraine war, reporting nightly from Kyiv through air raids, blackouts, and breaking news. In this episode, he joins Tom and Patrick to reflect on the mental and emotional toll of years on the frontline, the strange adjustment to life back home, and the addictive intensity of war. From the first hours of Russia’s full-scale invasion to the blurred battle lines of today, he offers a rare insider’s view of a conflict that continues to redefine modern combat. A gripping conversation about technology, trauma, and the personal cost of telling one of the world’s hardest stories.Guest: James WaterhouseHosts: Tom Newton Dunn & General Sir Patrick SandersPhoto: Courtesy of James WaterhouseClips: BBCGet in touch: [email protected] listening: "Whose wars do we care about and why, with war reporter Anthony Loyd" Hosted on Acast.
