      Episode 26 - Submarine Gamble: Birth of Canada’s Silent Service
      Oct 24 2025

      On the eve of the First World War, British Columbia’s Premier pulled off one of the boldest—and strangest—arms deals in Canadian history. Two submarines vanished from Seattle under cover of darkness and reappeared flying the White Ensign.

      Rear-Admiral Christopher Robinson, Canada's senior submariner, joins The Rum Ration to reveal how those leaky little boats quietly launched Canada’s submarine service—and a century of undersea ingenuity.

      Episode 25 - Popcorn and Powder Smoke: Our Favourite War Movies
      Oct 21 2025

      To mark The Rum Ration’s 25th episode, Colin and Rejoy swap trenches for theatre seats in “Popcorn and Powder Smoke: Our Favourite War Movies.” They explore how films—from A Bridge Too Far and All Quiet on the Western Front to Three Kings—shape how generations remember courage, chaos, and sacrifice.

      Colin’s picks focus on the cost of bravery and the absurdity of war, while Rejoy’s choices—Journey’s End, All Quiet on the Western Front, and The Charge of the Light Brigade—highlight quiet endurance amid despair. Between “fantasy sponsor” breaks from Trench Brew Ale and Foxhole Flicks, they remind listeners that war movies aren’t just about explosions—they’re about humanity under fire. It’s a cinematic toast to storytelling, memory, and the soldiers who inspired them all.

      Grab your rations and popcorn, and join The Rum Ration for a spirited salute to our favourite war films ever made.

    • Episode 24 – Ugly, Cheap, Deadly: The Sten Story

      Episode 24 – Ugly, Cheap, Deadly: The Sten Story
      Oct 10 2025
      In this episode of ⁨the Rum Ration Podcast,⁩ Colin and Rejoy uncork the story of one of the Second World War’s most infamous weapons—the Sten submachine gun. Designed in desperation after Dunkirk, the Sten was Britain’s $10 answer to the $200 Thompson: ugly, unreliable, and dangerously simple. Yet for millions of Allied soldiers, including Canadians at Dieppe and beyond, it was the only tool they had for close combat. The hosts explore its creation, its rough production, and its deadly flaws—magazines that jammed, bolts that fired when dropped, and misfires that changed history. But despite its faults, the Sten armed resistance fighters across Europe and even earned imitation by the Germans. It’s a story of ingenuity born from necessity—and of the soldiers who fought courageously with a weapon they couldn’t always trust.📬 Have Questions or Suggestions?
