Blesma, The Limbless Veterans charity, has launched a powerful new podcast series titled “Human, Not Heroic”, offering a rare and honest look into the lives of those who’ve served, adapted, and rebuilt after life-changing injury.
The podcast goes beyond headlines and heroics to uncover the human stories behind military service, injury, and recovery.
In the first episode, host Harry Bucknall sits down with Neil Heritage, a former soldier who lost both legs in Iraq after an IED attack — and went on to defy every expectation.
Neil’s journey from injury to independence has taken him from hospital wards to mountain summits, Ironman triathlons, and global adventures. Together, Harry and Neil explore resilience, mental health, and the power of purpose — showing that recovery is never just physical.
The podcast is available across Spotify, PodBean, Buzzsprout, YouTube
