It’s the first episode of 2021, and the TGN boys wanted to make it extra special, so they called in an extra special guest – Jason’s wife, Gishani Ratnayake! Responsible for much of the photography, underwater or otherwise, that adorns Jason’s writing, Gishani sits down as a co-host to chat about watch photography, diving, great recipes from her home country of Sri Lanka, and a whole lot more.


Gishani has been among the top requested guests for The Grey NATO for a long time, and it was a treat to start the year with the opportunity to learn more about her history with everything from watches to diving, badminton, and even Jason. It’s a chatty and wide-ranging show, and we can’t thank Gishani enough for being part of the entire recording. All you have to do is press play – thanks for listening!
