Mud Between Your Toes is a memoir about my life - a gay, white boy growing up during the 1970s Rhodesian Bush War. This podcast started as an audio version of the book, but has now evolved into a series of conversations -- mostly of an African theme -- with characters and personalities with stories to tell. I hope you enjoy them.

This podcast began as an audio version of my book, Mud Between Your Toes – a memoir about my life – a gay, white boy growing up during the 1970s Rhodesian Bush War. It has now evolved into a series of conversations with characters and personalities with stories to tell – occasionally on an African theme.
Season 03 - Episode 04 of MUD BETWEEN YOUR TOES, CONVERSATIONS WITH PETE WOOD. The Kings Cross Steelers are a British rugby team, based in London. Founded in 1995 it was the world's first gay-inclusive rugby union club.
Its founding sparked the beginning of a much larger gay rugby movement - which to date includes over 70 clubs across the world.
Zimbabwean born, Tim Sullivan is their President and he chats to me about the club - and the impact it’s had on rugby - and the new moving documentary, Steelers: The World's First Gay Rugby Club - which premieres online at the Glasgow Film Festival in 2021.

Episode 26 of MUD BETWEEN YOUR TOES. For anyone who loves Shakespeare they’ll know that Cawdor castle was the home of Macbeth.
It’s also home to Angelika, Dowager Countess Cawdor, who was brought up in Rhodesia by parents who fled Czechoslovakia during WWII. She chats to me about her early life growing up in the southern African country - and of course, her life in the 14thC castle in the north of Scotland.
