  • Commandant Gil Clark

    Excellent podcast! It brought me much encouragement to hear more about what my son is being challenged with this summer at the Academy as a Plebe & Midshipman Class of ‘29. Commandant Clark is an amazing leader of this next generation of U.S. Naval leaders!

  • Important podcast but

    It’s a decent podcast overall. My only problem is that Mr. Wagner talks far too much and takes up too much of his guests’ time. With respect, we want to hear from the guests and we don’t need longwinded questions that meander and repeat stuff we already know from the games.
