Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

A Tale of Two Scribes / Martin Rooney
Q: What does the title of your last page say?
He lived every day the way it should be, and the world was a better place because he was there.
SGT. Major Mike Vining
Q: Looking back, do you regret stepping out of the military?
I needed to step out to realize this is actually what I really wanted to do after feeling unfulfilled working a civilian job.
SGT. Major Mike Vining
Q: How do you adapt to certain scenarios when the environment changes drastically?
You learn a lot of basics in school, but in the real world, you encounter many situations that you weren’t taught about and have to adapt on the fly.
SGT. Major Mike Vining
Q: What motivated you to choose the Army and the Explosive Ordnance Disposal specifically?
I liked science growing up. For Christmas, I would get chemistry sets, and I became interested in explosives and pyrotechnics after reading about them in Popular Science.
A Tale of Two Scribes / Jody Wenner
Q: Jody, as a writer, fiction and nonfiction, you get to write your last page. What do you want that last page to say?
It would probably be something like the whole setup and then there's just a blank at the end, the blank page because I forgot the punchline.
