Customer Reviews
Keep it up!
This is really cool what you’re doing here. I enjoy listening to these podcasts and learning new things about the armed forces. These stories are all also very interesting.
Great stories
I grew up listening to my father's "barracks stories" from his time in the Navy. They got more detailed and less appropriate as I got older. Listening to these brings back good memories of that history. Alan does a great job hosting the guests in conversations that feel natural and not scripted, balancing the light-hearted schenanigans with the more serious issues.
Appeals to military & civilians alike
Through his interviews, Murphy does a great job of allowing his guests to share their stories in a way that appeals to both veterans and those who never experienced a life in the military but who might be looking to relate. I highly recommend this podcast.
