Tyler chats with Gregg Jones, an award-winning investigative journalist and international news correspondent, Pulitzer Prize finalist, a fellow at the Kluge Center and Black Mountain Institute, and a Botstiber Foundation grant recipient. He is the author of three acclaimed nonfiction books, Honor in the Dust: Theodore Roosevelt, War in the Philippines, and The Rise and Fall of America's Imperial Dream (NAL/Penguin, 2012) was a New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice. Last Stand at Khe Sanh (Da Capo/Perseus, 2014) received the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation's General Wallace M. Greene Jr. Award for Distinguished Nonfiction. His first book, Red Revolution: Inside the Philippine Guerrilla Movement (Westview, 1989), was praised by James Fallows in The Atlantic as a work of "prodigious, often brave reporting" and "an engrossing and highly informative book."

In this episode, Tyler and Gregg dive deep into the history of the Last Stand of Khe Sanh and the heroism and bravery of our Marines under unfathomable circumstances. Based largely on interviews with the Marines who were there, the Last Stand at Khe Sanh stands as a remarkable record of what they did within this 77 day long siege. A moment in history we should never forget!

"A honorable salute to the sacrifice, heroism and courage of our boys from Pawnee, Scranton, Yonkers, Wilmington and thousands of other small towns that produce our nation’s finest. There is a reason why they are called “The Few and The Proud”.

Last Stand at Khe Sanh is available on Amazon.

Let's talk Bees! Tyler talks with Matis Stebben, co-founder of Beekeeping for Veterans on connecting bees with veterans to heal the wounds of trauma. Matis discusses their wellness program that pairs beekeeping with the practice of mindfulness to create an overall healing on the mind and body.

Part one is the interactions of beekeeping which help to lower distress and improve mood through the increase in endorphins. Combining the necessity to stay calm and be mindful of one's movements with the positive rush of adrenaline of being in the midst of thousands of bees, can produce a very unique feeling of euphoria.

And part two, adding in the practice of mindfulness helps reduce anxiety and teaches to be in the moment, in the present, and not to be thinking about combat engagement [or other stressful or traumatic events]. Therefore, combining beekeeping and mindfulness practices is a win-win in helping to heal the veteran, as well as, increasing the bee population.
