Customer Reviews
Best podcast I've listened to!
The Courage to Resist organization is arguably to most important anti-militarist, anti-war organization in the country today and perhaps ever. No one speaks better to the wrongheaded outcomes and horrors of military interventions than veterans! I love this podcast because of the thoughtful guests, excellently succinct interviewing by Matt. Thank you all!
