    What a show!
    This is quite the podcast. The host, Jason, does a deep dive with each veteran, and/or Protector. We get to learn where they came from, what they’ve done, their origin story, if you will. I’m always in awe of these men and women. Really, these are our unsung heroes and this podcast does the service of getting their stories out there into the big wide world for everyone to hear, enjoy, provide further understanding, and learn.
