Episode 473 of Oscar Mike Radio was recorded outdoors at Island Grove Park in Abington, MA, cold, windy New England weather and all.

I shared how Oscar Mike Radio grew in 2025 and what’s ahead for 2026, including our 500th episode milestone. We talked veteran storytelling, teaching podcasting, embracing video, veterans' advocacy, employment challenges, and why strong community support matters now more than ever.

Even battling the elements, the mission didn’t stop. I wrapped the episode grateful for the support and more committed than ever to amplifying diverse voices and encouraging resilience and engagement.

We are Mission in Flight. Merry Christmas!
