From operational deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan to surviving his own silent war with depression and suicidal ideation, Kevin opens up about the life-altering power of vulnerability, leadership, and reclaiming your story.In this episode, Kevin takes us deep into the mindset of high-performance environments, the trauma of toxic leadership, and how he rebuilt himself after a breakdown that nearly cost him everything. His journey from the battlefield to the stage is a raw and powerful reminder that mental illness is not weakness—and that healing begins when we speak the truth.About our guest:Kevin Humphreys is a retired Army helicopter pilot, former Commanding Officer, and now a nationally recognized keynote speaker and mental health ambassador.

In this episode, Marc Leepson discusses his book The Unlikely War Hero, A Vietnam War POW's Story of Courage and Resilience in the Hanoi Hilton. This book is a biography of Doug Hegdahl, a Sailor that fell off of USS Canberra (CA 2) into the Gulf of Tonkin. Hegdahl was captured by the North Vietnamese and landed in the Hanoi Hilton with other American prisoners of war (POW). While in captivity, he memorized 254 names of his fellow prisoners. Hegdahl was ordered to accept early release. Once back in the United States, he provided the list of names to his debriefers. As a result, 65 American servicemen who were listed as missing in action (MIA), had their status changed to POW.

But memory is a slippery thing, and some stories slide through the cracks, lost to time and history. Among them is Harry Freame – a name that barely registers when we speak of the legend of the Anzacs, even though, in his day, he was celebrated in the Australian press as the “Marvel of Gallipoli.” Hear from Ryan Butta, the author of a new book about the truly amazing Harry Freame.

Travis Bowman is a seventh-generation descendant of one of America's most remarkable yet overlooked Revolutionary War heroes: Peter Francisco, known as "The Virginia Giant." Recalling stories of his famous ancestor, Bowman shares the incredible tale of Francisco's life: from his mysterious beginnings in the Azores Islands, to his kidnapping by pirates and arrival on Virginia's shores, to becoming a 6'6" towering figure in America's fight for independence. Learn how Francisco, taken in by Patrick Henry's uncle, grew to become such a formidable warrior that George Washington himself had a special six-foot broadsword forged for him. Bowman, author of the historical novel "LUSO," discusses Francisco's legendary feats, including the famous Battle of Guilford Courthouse, where his prowess in combat is commemorated by a monument to this day. Discover how Francisco's legacy lives on through seven monuments, state holidays, and even a 1976 bicentennial stamp. With America's 250th anniversary on the horizon in 2026, Bowman shares plans for a nine-episode miniseries based on his novel that aims to bring this Revolutionary War story to the screen.

Frederick Rutland—”Rutland of Jutland”—was a war hero, renowned World War I aviator…and a Japanese spy. In the years leading up to Pearl Harbor, Rutland shared information on U.S. aviation and naval developments to the Japanese, desperate for knowledge of U.S. capability. The funny thing was, as Ron Drabkin notes in his book Beverly Hills Spy: The Double-Agent War Hero Who Helped Japan Attack Pearl Harbor (William Morrow, 2024), that most people were pretty sure that the boisterous Rutland was spying for someone. But for a variety of reasons—misplaced priorities, bureaucratic infighting, embarrassment over a British national spying on the U.S., or just bewilderment that someone so open and outgoing could pull off something as secretive as espionage—everyone left utland alone until it was too late. Ronald Drabkin is the author of Beverly Hills Spy and peer-reviewed articles on Japanese espionage. His obsession with espionage history started when he was as a child in Los Angeles, where he vaguely understood that his father had been working for the US military in counterintelligence. Later he discovered that his grandfather had also been in “the business,” and it drove a voyage of discovery into previously classified documents on three continents. His career prior to writing was at early stage startups in the US, where he was an early adopter of Google and Facebook advertising.

New Books in American Studies
Ronald Drabkin, "Beverly Hills Spy: The Double-Agent War Hero Who Helped Japan Attack Pearl Harbor" (William Morrow, 2024)

Frederick Rutland—”Rutland of Jutland”—was a war hero, renowned World War I aviator…and a Japanese spy. In the years leading up to Pearl Harbor, Rutland shared information on U.S. aviation and naval developments to the Japanese, desperate for knowledge of U.S. capability. The funny thing was, as Ron Drabkin notes in his book Beverly Hills Spy: The Double-Agent War Hero Who Helped Japan Attack Pearl Harbor (William Morrow, 2024), that most people were pretty sure that the boisterous Rutland was spying for someone. But for a variety of reasons—misplaced priorities, bureaucratic infighting, embarrassment over a British national spying on the U.S., or just bewilderment that someone so open and outgoing could pull off something as secretive as espionage—everyone left utland alone until it was too late. Ronald Drabkin is the author of Beverly Hills Spy and peer-reviewed articles on Japanese espionage. His obsession with espionage history started when he was as a child in Los Angeles, where he vaguely understood that his father had been working for the US military in counterintelligence. Later he discovered that his grandfather had also been in “the business,” and it drove a voyage of discovery into previously classified documents on three continents. His career prior to writing was at early stage startups in the US, where he was an early adopter of Google and Facebook advertising.

They have total freedom and yet they're in a prison in their mind.” – Brian Buffini“Acid does more harm in the vessel it's stored than on the subject it's poured.” – Proverb“I think the good life to me means a life of service.
