It’s what every service-parent dreads – a phone call that begins: “We regret to inform you…” – and you’re told that your child has been wounded in action, and may not make it. In this edition of Greta Talk, Greta sits down with two mothers who have been through that – Stacy Fidler and Siobahn Fuller’s stories are about more than that… they’re about what happens as their sons were brought to Walter Reed Medical Center for treatment. The stories are of both hope and frustration – all part of a new book, Unbreakable Bonds: The Mighty Moms and Wounded Warriors of Walter Reed. We owe our wounded service people all honor and respect – and as you’ll hear in this podcast, we owe their families even more.   Download audio file (GT-18-Fidler_Fuller.mp3)

It is hard to believe in this day and age – but Pastor Saeed Abedini has been in prison in Iran now for more than 2 years for the crime of being Christian.

She’s an award-winning investigative journalist specializing in foreign affairs, the Middle East and terrorism. In this episode of Greta Talk, the conversation ranges from the foreign policy failures of the Obama administration to the possibilities of getting Pastor Saeed Abedini freed from his Iranian prison.

It happens every two years – Congress gets a new crop of young members eager to serve their constituencies and their country.

Do you worry when you get an email from someone you don’t know? Should you click on it? When it comes to the internet today, it’s hard to know what’s OK to do and what’s not. When America’s enemies are known to be hacking and attacking us as a country, and when there are risks to all of us each time we turn on our phones, tablets and computers, it’s important to know what’s safe and what’s risky behavior. In this edition of Greta Talk, Greta van Susteren turns to Morgan Wright, a cyber expert and frequent guest on On the Record and asks some of the hard questions… and the answers she gets will help everyone listening. This is a session everyone should hear.   Download audio file (GT-11-Wright.mp3)

No one tells a story – or makes complicated things simple – quite the way Jim Angle does. On this edition of Greta Talk, Greta gets the veteran FOX News reporter to look back on his long and varied career. From his time in the U.S. Army leading tours of Berlin from behind the Wall to his experiences covering President Reagan in the White House, Jim Angle has “been there and done that.” And he shares tales of the Reagan White House, the Cold War and more in this truly entertaining session. One last note – don’t miss the part where he explains to the host of On the Record why he volunteered for duty once he’d been drafted… and why that didn’t work the way you’d expect it to.   Download audio file (GT-10-Angle.mp3)

In this episode of Greta Talk, Greta and FOX News Contributor and best-selling author Charles Krauthammer get into Dr. Krauthammer’s back-story. How did he manage to cross the spectrum from the left to the right? What is it about politics that drew him away from medicine? She even gets him to reveal his real love – it isn’t politics, and it isn’t medicine – but here’s a hint –  he took a different path because he didn’t want to spend his life bending steel. Dr. Krauthammer’s book, “Things That Matter,” is a surprise best-seller, with more than a million copies already sold. Listen to this thoughtful and incisive conversation now – there’s politics, policy, philosophy and much more all crammed into 18 minutes.

You know the story – Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi mistakenly drove across the border into Mexico. He immediately told Mexican authorities that he had taken a wrong turn, that he had some guns in his car, and he asked to be allowed to turn around and go back across the border. Instead, he was arrested and held without trial and tortured for more than 200 days. In this episode of Greta Talk, Greta van Susteren tells the whole story – how the case got to her in the first place, the lengths she went to in an effort to win his freedom, and more. Shortly after he was freed, Sgt. Tahmooressi gave an exclusive interview to Greta’s  On the Record program on FOX News Channel. You can also hear parts of that interview here, as Greta lays out the who, the why, and the how behind the story.   Download audio file (GT-09-Tahmooressi.mp3)  

When Greta sat down with Fox & Friends Weekend host Tucker Carlson, it was a reunion of two old friends – and the talk quickly moved from tales of CNN (they both worked there once upon a time) to a harrowing moment when Tucker was in a plane crash in the middle of a war zone. It’s not often you get to hear what happens inside a plane after a bomb goes off. And if that’s not enough; somehow the conversation veers again – and Tucker and Greta share stories of how they met their true loves. It’s a Greta Talk you won’t want to miss!   Download audio file (GT-07-Carlson.mp3)
