Welcome to DCT Audio, the art of listening. This is where my podcast lives. Thankyou for taking  a moment to see what https://t.co/Yx1dK2rdlX is about. 

I’m a former professional photographer and retired police Officer. I spent nearly 30 years policing the streets of Lancashire. After a decade on roads policing, I went into the detective arena where I specialised in investigating serious and complex crime. Finally, I spent the final few years of my career on the child protection unit. It was as challenging role as you might imagine. The skills I learnt as a police officer continue to serve me well to this day. #police #podcast #wellbeing

[Alzheimer's Society @alzheimerssoc]

Veteran news anchor Jon Snow has shared that he’s living with dementia, speaking publicly for the first time to raise awareness of a condition affecting around 1 million people across the UK.

Jon and his wife, neurologist Dr Precious Lunga, are supporting Alzheimer’s Society @alzheimerssoc and shared the story of Jon’s diagnosis in @DailyMail as part of our Defeating Dementia campaign with the newspaper.

https://t.co/Sy08OWXmms

We’ve partnered with Jon, in association with @Channel4, on a powerful new documentary airing on 20 June. Jon Snow: A Last Big Story looks at how he’s navigating life with dementia, and how, when we all come together, we can change the story.

Thank you to Jon and Precious for their courage and openness to bring much-needed attention to dementia 💙

@apoliticaleye @MrsBr0wn_82 Reason and reasons for. None of which adds to all of this.

@apoliticaleye @MrsBr0wn_82 I can’t bring myself to comment on all this. For if I do, it will unleash a fury I don’t wish to experience. I keep quiet for my own mental health 🌱

@Lostock_Henge I have been informed that his son now has the shop

[DCT AUDIO, 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈. @_57dB]

This was my first hand built back in 1989. Years later I sold it to a mate, bumped into him years after that. Asked if he still had the bike, he did so I bought it back off him. Full strip down and respray/chrome and just put the Reynolds decals on to finish the frame off. The restoration is in full swing.

@Lostock_Henge I think he retired but the Leyland shop is still there if only in name only

Chief Constables used to look formidable. Think Mark, McNee, Anderton. They now resemble lanyard wearing librarians.

I recorded a delightful conversation yesterday with Charlotte Dugdale Yoga. Charlotte describes her life, her battle with OCD and the amazing journey that took her to India and finally opening her own premises in Bispham promoting and teaching yoga. 🌱 https://t.co/RWpPaIrgJK

💥 LATEST PODCAST OUT NOW 💥

Listener discretion is advised.

What with everything that is going on at the moment in the media I had a conversation with a former undercover cop. If you want to find out what police work is really like, the toll it takes on an individuals mental health, then this episode is for you. It's a very powerful testimony and even I, after nearly 30 years of police service found it incredibly moving. If you know nothing about policing or perhaps your partner is in the job, may I respectfully suggest you take a listen. It's nothing like you hear in the news. This is the reality.

Natural England wants to remove 90% of Dartmoor’s ponies.

Our Exmoor ponies are next. These animals have been here for thousands of years.

I’ll never forget what My counsellor said to me several years ago. “”Do what makes you happy Dave.” And so that’s what I do. Podcasting makes me happy. Three this week. An undercover cop. A Shamen and a Yoga teacher. Can’t say you don’t get variety 🌱
