He supports the arts through Veterans in Media and Entertainment which helps veterans connect to jobs, each other and provide a space that unites current and former members of the military working in the film and television industry.

Frogman, Reporter, Sunga Life Model, Skin Diver - Our guest is Kaj Larsen. Kaj is a lot of things, he's a Kennedy School of Government grad, he's a new correspondent who goes to places like Liberia or covers Boko Haram--but most notably, he's a former Navy SEAL.
Our co-host today is ALSO a Navy SEAL, and an upcoming guest, Jeff Gum. Jeff is the founder of SungaLife a brand of swimwear that makes everyone look great. Jeff and Kaj talk with Pete A Turner about transition, water therapy, and an upcoming swim the SEALs are doing in Manhattan. 
The swim happens on 3AUG19. Raising funds for the GiGO Charity. Get this...it's a 3-mile swim from the Statue of Liberty, then Ellis Island then Manhattan...then a run to Ground-Zero. 
Maybe you're unaware of this, but we've got a statue at Ground-Zero. The Horse Soldier depicts a Green Beret astride on a horse through the hills of Afghanistan hunting the Taliban after 9/11. This statue is our response to those who seek to attack/oppress us or our allies.

New Order Substance vs Beatles Abbey Road - Today's #AlbumFight episode features two elite bands whose music is as relevant today as it was decades ago. We managed to find a way to get the Beatles, Abbey Road an album, often cited as the greatest of all time, in the ring against New Order's Substance. 
We've bent the rules to account for Substance's greatest hits like status...by placing them in the ring against an album packed with greatness and an awkward style. 
Today's judges are 3 seasoned pros- Wes Maebe, an actual musician and technician lends his seasoned ear. Todd Nemet a veteran of over a dozen fights always finds a thread in the fight. Anthony Alvarado consistently brings his Gen X sensibility and quality ear to the battle. 
Richard Lackie digs deep to discern what might happen. Phil as always does his double duty, Mike Lipari acts as producer and host, Damjen did the engineering and mixing and Pete A Turner ties it all together as the Executive Producer.

Spy vs Spy, Jeff Felmet Shares His Saudi Field Report - Today we're featuring Jeff Felmet a firefighter and a spy. Jeff and Pete A Turner served in the US Army together as spies during the mid 90's in Germany. They both deployed to Bosnia, and Jeff did a tour in pre-9/11 Saudi Arabia. 
Firefighters and EMs check out Jeff's training company. 
What makes these #spyvsspy episodes so unique is the authentic conversation between two actual field operators. Like any job, even the exciting ones, there are peaks and valleys--good bosses and bad bosses. This is what makes this conversation so fascinating. 
Beyond two great friends catching up, Jeff and Pete have a chat that you just can't hear anywhere else. How does one spy? How does a Steelers fan who likes beer go to Saudi Arabia and develop a network of information-laden

​Hal Moore a Soldier a Leader - Today's episode features historian Mike Guardia. Co-host Josh Mantz said to Pete A Turner, following his episode of BIDS, I'd love to talk to Mike Guardia about his Hal Moore book...so Pete does what he always does.  He booked Mike so that Josh could sit in on this conversation.  
Hal Moore was an icon in leadership. His time in battle at La-Drang in Vietnam was captured in the book/movie, We Were Soldiers Once and Young, by Hal and Joe Galloway (who will appear on an upcoming episode of BIDS). Mike realized that nobody had written a comprehensive biography of LTG Moore...so, like a great officer Mike dove in and changed everything.  
Mike's book is A Soldier Once and Always, be sure to get it on Amazon.
