  • Telling the truth to kids

We were on active duty when they were kids, so most of their childhood we were far away from family.

  • Be transparent

    If you’re going to run reruns, tag the episode appropriately. If you need a break, take a well earned break, but disclose that. Instead a podcast that means a lot to a lot of very earnest people is going out with a disingenuous whimper, not with a buzz.

  • Amanda: you are a hero!

    I love everything about this podcast. The addition of Amanda’s “you’re not going to believe this bs” has taken things to the next level. You are brilliant Amanda. It is life changing to have these complicated and infuriating topics explained so that we collectively can better understand how to unite and stand strong. Thank you.
