    Today's guest has an inspiring story - Jason Higgins comes from working-class roots in Southeastern Arkansas, where he took a chance on going to college, then hit his stride through hard work, raising a family, and discovering a passion for telling people's stories.

Jason is author of Prisoners after War: Veterans in the Age of Mass Incarceration (UMass) and co-editor with John Kinder of Service Denied: Marginalized Veterans in Modern American History (UMass), and was lead for an NEH grant "Crossing Divides Connecting Veterans, Teachers, and Students through Oral History."
