“Jacob was my best friend. I carried him.”

In this year’s Memorial Day episode, we speak with a Gold Star mother and brother about Lance Corporal Jacob Levy, who was killed in Afghanistan in 2011. They tell us about how 9/11 stirred an obsession in eleven-year-old Jacob, how the Lumbee Tribe honors all veterans, some of the difficulties Gold Star families go through after losing someone, and the different ways they now go about preserving, not only Jacob's memory, but all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.

"Radical trauma requires radical treatment."

In this episode we talk with Navy fighter pilot and founder of the No Fallen Heroes foundation, Mr. Matthew "Whiz" Buckley. He tells us about growing up watching for Soviet bombers off the Jersey shore, the disaster-laden start to his Navy career, the sheer terror of a night landing on an aircraft carrier, and the challenges of attending Top Gun as a reservist. We also discuss how his efforts to end veteran suicide became a much bigger endeavor to heal trauma of all sorts through psychedelic assisted therapy.

In the Free Fire Area, we reminisce on our own childhoods and the toughest video games we used to play.
