Dario Nustrini

Kiwi Yarns

Today’s guest is a man by the name of Dario Nustrini, who's just published a book called Nothing Significant to Report: The Misadventures of a Kiwi Soldier. I thought it would be great to compare Army notes with him! Dario joined after high school, where he describes himself as a young man who had been on a steady diet of spliffs, Speights and the occasional sandwich, weighing about as much as an empty pillowcase. Dario shares his tales in a self-deprecating and often humorous way, but he also speaks openly about the toll being deployed to Iraq took on him, and why he left the moment he got home.
