A podcast dedicated to discussing all things foreign affairs and military conflict and the histories thereof. Join me as I present today’s headlines and give you the “so what” that comes from decades of military intelligence and law enforcement investigative experience. We will even have interviews with military leaders, historians, and educators along the way. If you want more than the evening news, but less than a college course, you’ve come to the right podcast.

In this latest episode of Headlines and History I speak with Chana Studley, an author, counselor, and academy award winner, about her mission to help those suffering with mental health issues. Her latest book--Beyond Diagnosis. A Paradigm Shift from Pathology to Innate Health--shares 45 personal stories of recovery. During the conversation we tackle topics such as PTSD, overall wellbeing, addition, anxiety, and more. Chana resides in Jerusalem which also becomes a topic we discuss given the current state of affairs in Israel. Enjoy!

In this latest episode of Headlines and History we finish our series on my time in Iraq by discussing some leftover funny, and not-so-funny, tales. We start with a broken finger from a guy with a back tattoo, find ourselves in the literal crosshairs of a General, and end with a Soldier who refused to shower for weeks while deployed. Enjoy!

In this latest episode of Headlines and History we continue our series on my time in Iraq by discussing the overall environment in 2005 and which events shaped the threat landscape. Tactics were changing, voting was happening, and foreign fighters were slaughtering civilians. The sectarian violence that began in late 2005 led directly to the decision to surge forces in the next couple years. Enjoy!

In this latest episode of Headlines and History we continue our series on my time in Iraq by discussing what daily life was like during Operation Iraqi Freedom III. I also cover the most tragic event of our deployment and quite possible, the most tragic of the whole war. We learned all too keenly that defending Americans from the enemy was hard enough but not as hard as defending Americans against ourselves.

In this latest episode of Headlines and History we continue our series on my time in Iraq by discussing my few weeks in Kuwait and what FOB Danger looked like in Iraq. I also discuss the kinetic environment, sleeping and working, and why a pond was next to my hooch. Lastly, I open with a few comments I forgot to address previously on why the Bush Administration was in Iraq in the first place. Enjoy!

In this latest episode of Headlines and History we continue our series on my time in Iraq by discussing pre-deployment training at Fort Dum, NY, while considering why President George W. Bush sent us in the first place. I'll discuss some interesting stories like living in World War II barracks with moldy bathrooms, lieutenants tellings senior enlisted members to "at ease" in front of hundreds, and poking training land mines with sticks in a volleyball court. Enjoy!

This week's episode is all about TikTok. I conducted a YouTube live event on Saturday, June 22nd, and am republishing the talk here. In it I discuss why TikTok is not alone (that potentially all Chinese-owned technology companies are a problem), how the United States is not the only country concerned with its data collection strategies, and how American companies are using your data differently. Enjoy!

In this episode we explore Niger's latest military coup, what it means for Africa and relations with Russia, China, and the United States. We discuss why Niger is prone to military coups--seven constitutions in about 60 years--and what, if anything, can be done about it, and if the United States will maintain relations with Niger in the coming years.
