Hello and welcome to To The Regiment (apologies for the slight delay this week).In this episode we got some questions from you, the listeners, from Twitter/X, Facebook, and Instagram. Some we may have covered but we cover in more detail or some Ben had just missed.We will be doing this again soon because these questions came in before we even released the first episode (we think). And our fan base has certainly grown.Thank you again for all your support and I promise we will be going on the Big Boy's Beano next time.To The Regiment...
