Air Chief Marshal Sir John Stringer began his career flying fast jets for the Royal Air Force, enforcing no‑fly zones over Iraq and flying combat missions over the Balkans. He went on to command air war against ISIS in the Middle East, overseeing every UK air operation during Operation Shader.
But what makes him exceptional is not just that he's led in battle, it's that he's also helped shape how Britain and NATO think about the future of war. He's served at the highest levels of defence strategy. He was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire in recognition of gallant and distinguished services in the field, and a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath in the 2025 Birthday Honours.
In March this year, he became NATO's Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe, the Alliance's second‑highest military post, and the most senior role the UK holds in NATO. Sir John is a dear friend of mine and humbly reviews his extraordinary career and discusses the shape of things to come. So strap in, prepare for take-off and listen to the insights and stories of one of the most senior military leaders in the Western world.

Tuppence Middleton is one of the most talented actors of her generation. Her work spans the intimate and the epic, from the haunting dystopias of Sense8 to the elegance of Downton Abbey. She brings a rare depth to every role she inhabits and her recent memoir Scorpions reveals a courageous and deeply personal side of her story. This podcast is a celebration of an impressive career to date, a tutorial in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and also serves as a reminder that we can look at someone, judge, think they have it all, perhaps allow a modicum of envy to creep in and yet we have absolutely no clue what challenges they are facing. I had such a wonderful time talking to Tuppence and you will love this podcast.
