Reconnaissance Man
20/2/2026 | 52 mins.
A retired Marine who served three tours in Vietnam. An investigative journalist racing against time. Seventy-six recording sessions and counting. In this episode, we bring you the story behind one granddaughter’s loving determination to capture an aging warrior's memories.
All Together Now
05/2/2026 | 36 mins.
In November 2025, Dave Mann flew to Vietnam, a country he'd felt hostile toward his entire life. He met sons and daughters of the enemy’s fallen, and he stood on the same ground where his father died in 1969. When he came home, Dave’s hostility had transformed into something different.
Carry That Weight
22/1/2026 | 33 mins.
In May 1969, a 20-year-old farm boy from Illinois was killed at Dak To, just six weeks into his tour. He left behind a pregnant wife who would give birth to their son three months later. That son grew up angry, and he carried that weight a long time — 47 years — until he finally found a community to share it with.
Feeding the "Big Red One"
04/12/2025 | 52 mins.
In Vietnam, keeping our military force fed was a massive logistical undertaking. For infantry units operating in the field for weeks at a time, mess cooks had to set up kitchens in jungle clearings and find creative ways to refuel men exhausted by intense heat and constant danger. Dan Gooch was one of those cooks.
Mended Wings
17/11/2025 | 1h 1 mins.
Helicopter pilots made up about 1.5% of the total service members in the Vietnam War, yet they represent about 4% of the total killed in action. In this episode, an Army aviator pays tribute to the generation of helicopter pilots who trained and inspired him.
