Customer Reviews
Yeah, I'm biased... so what?
Obviously I like my own podcast.
Great insight on Naval issues!
Lots of good discussion on Navy issues, generally from the perspective of some junior officers.
Sea Control gives us the opportunity to stay abreast of Navy issues while stuck in traffic on the way to work. Don't miss it.
The Real Navy - Unfiltered and Thought Provoking
Matt and his folks do a great job keeping a fresh menu of Navy, military, and diplomatic/strategic/political topics on the air. Refreshing to hear it from the Junior Officer perspective with insight from timely guests from around the services, leadership, academia, and industry. It is entertaining, it is real, it is fun, and it is informative. Well worth the time!
