  • Replace Rad

    I want to love this podcast, I really do! The topic is amazing and the guests are usually awesome, but Rad is a terrible interviewer. Firstly he doesn’t know what he’s talking about and that’s fairly obvious and even forgivable if this weren’t a military themed podcast, but he also interrupts the guests constantly and seems to feel the need to talk when he’d be better served by actually listening and letting the guest tell their own story. And some of the comments he makes and questions he as... more

  • Man babies with a microphone

    This podcast typifies the modern right. These are a bunch of man babies who cannot stand to hear views that aren’t in lockstep with Fox News and conservative talk radio. I tuned in to hear an interview with Bob Baer, and got a lot of Fox News propaganda instead. Next.

  • A brutally honest perspective without window dressing.

    I prefer straight talk out of everyone. Problem is that men and woman in law enforcement, fire and armed forces seem to be the last of this dying breed. Sensible talk from a meaningful community.

  • From one to another

    From one SOF guy to another, thank you for having open and honest dialogue. Too many don’t speak out and many who do have a self aggrandizing point or product to sell.

    Who we are today and who we are ever evolving into is the story of all people.

    Thank you for your efforts bringing honesty forward on behalf of those who don’t.
