What does a lifetime around conflict, chaos, and the unexplained do to a person?
This week on Oldmate & Josh, we sit down with Stephen Lockwood for a raw, funny, and surprisingly deep conversation about his career, the moments that shaped him, and the stories that still stay with him long after the job ended. From high-pressure situations to the strange side of human nature, Stephen shares the kinds of experiences most people only ever hear about second-hand.
The episode moves between heavy moments, dark humour, behind-the-scenes career insight, and the kind of honest conversation that happens when the microphones stop feeling real. It’s part life story, part reflection on resilience, and part “how on earth did that actually happen?”
Expect laughs, uncomfortable truths, wild stories, and a genuine look at the cost — and meaning — of a life lived in extraordinary situations.

War already exists in a space most of us can barely imagine. It is fear, noise, confusion, loyalty, survival, grief, and impossible choices. So when ghost stories emerge from war zones, ruined hospitals, observation posts, and battle-scarred landscapes, they carry a different kind of weight. These are not just campfire tales. They are stories born in places where history has already gone dark.
In this episode, we explore how the supernatural often clings to war stories, not just as horror, but as a way people try to make sense of the unbearable. Are these ghosts literal? Are they memories refusing to fade? Are they the mind’s way of processing what should never have happened in the first place?
