 Erik Kleinsmith - Commanding Spies and Muddy Boots Collection #spyvsspy - Our guest, Erik Kleinsmith, was Pete A Turner's commander during their deployment to Bosnia while they served in the 165th MI Bn. Pete and Erik go #spyvsspy as they discuss muddy boots collection and how one leads a bunch of spies who run around the battlefield. 
Also, Erik worked with Thomas Colbert's team that uncovered DB Cooper-we covered that in an episode during operators week. If that's not enough Erik also worked on the team that identified Al Qaeda BEFORE!!! 9/11 happened.  This one is action-packed.

Dr. Mark Glickman - Glickman's Robot Determines McCartney or Lennon - Dr. Mark Glickman and his co-authors developed an AI program that determines the authorship of Lennon and McCartney songs; which is outlined in a peer-reviewed paper. On the surface, big deal, we believe we know much of this info already, right? Do we? There's conflict on a number of songs and parts of songs from the artists. Glickman's robot works to determine who wrote which part, and even in a collaboration, it means the contribution of the artists...pretty cool.  
Pete A Turner is joined by Dr. Chris Endrinal, who's PHD focused on examining the music of U2...making him a perfect addition to this interesting conversation.
