  • Remembering 9/11/01 - Bonus Episode

    Send us Fan Mail

    With the 20th Anniversary of 9/11 approaching I wanted to share an amazing story through storytelling and reading excerpts from a book called "What Brothers Do" by Michael Everett Brown. The story follows Mike Brown as he searches for his brother, FDNY Captain Paddy Brown.

    This is a bonus episode and one I hope you will find interesting and moving.
    Language warning is only from minutes 19:00 - 21:00, as read from the book.

    "What Brothers Do" follows the journey of the Brown brothers as one traces the life of a fallen icon and in the process, recreates his own. We stand in awe of the life of Paddy Brown and stand by his brother who knew only that he had to go find him. In doing so, he found pain but also loyalty and love."
