Just talking, with Joe Burdick

I had the honor of sitting down and talking to my former Skipper, CDR Gary Koger. He was my CO in VFA-113. We talked about the life and career of a Naval Aviator, CAT shots, carrier landings, life at sea and so much more. IT truly was an honor to have this conversation with my former Skipper. Commander Koger served 20 years in the Navy, retired and went to fly for Delta Airlines.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I did

Former Congressman Anthony Gonzalez hasn’t done any media since he left office, in this episode he chose to tell his story on my podcast. We discuss football, THE Ohio State University, being a first round draft pick and his two terms as a Congressman for Ohio’s 16th District. I’m so grateful Anthony chose me to share his story with. I hope you enjoy this conversation.

IN this episode Tom and I disacuss his new novel, The Breachers Playbook. An amazing fiction based on fact that he co-authored with friend James Pomerantz. I also couldn't avoid asking more questions I had about life as a SEAL.

Tom is a really great guy, the book is amazing, I am already looking forward to the next one

In this episode I talk with Cleveland’s own Hayden Grove. We talk about his childhood, music, faith, mental health, sports and auditioning for The Voice. Hayden wears his heart on his sleeve, he is an open book. He is very open about who he is and how he got to where he is now. I guarantee you will like him even more after hearing him tell his story

Kristal and I talked about her time in the US Army, women in the military and her battle with fibromyalgia. Kristal does amazing work as an advocate for veterans and fibromyalgia. I hope you enjoy this conversation

I have known Jamie for about 7 years. in this episode we talk about football, life after the NFL, about family and so much more. Jamie shares a little of his story about how he cared for his girlfriend in college (future wife) when she was sick, putting his own plans on standby. He's a great guy, a great father and I am honored to know him.

As the third anniversary of the passing of Cleveland radio legend approaches, I did a live podcast with several Triv show contributors. Mike Trivisonno was a radio legend, this was a nice TRIVute for him. I hope you enjoy it

On this episode I have a discussion with Jesse Getz about a topic we all hate...where we want to be buried when we die. Jesse tells all about the Western Reserve National Cemetery and all the benefits veterans receive for their service.

I hope you learn a few things, I know I did. I think this will be a great PSA for veterans

Compelling and honest conversation with Shana Chappell. She is the mother of Kareem Nikoui. You need to hear her story. She introduces us to the short life and tragic death of her son whom died in Kabul, Afghanistan on 8/26/21

Congressional Medal of Honor recipient Leroy Petry tells his story of being a Ranger, his story of battle, 8 deployments, receiving the Medal of Honor and so much more. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did. Leroy is honest, open and his love for his fellow veterans is obvious.
