Former Action Guys Podcast
Former Action Guys Podcast is a way for veterans, first responders and others to share their stories that the world has never heard in a casual, conversational format that allows a natural flow of information about their career and lives. <br /><br />These blunt, in-your-face stories are ones of adventure and excitement, but also sometimes sorrow and pain. Through all of that, in the end most guests just remember and reflect on the excitement and adventures they undertook. The friends they gained and lost. A world never seen the same because of the exposure to the highs and lows of humanity. We hope to bring these stories to light for the world to hear and remember those that face danger and come away with a reality most cannot imagine. <br /><br />Some content is not appropriate for children or listeners because of the graphic description of combat and other traumatic events.
