Today's guest is a Canadian! Jason Ridler is a Course Developer and Lecturer with Advanced Academic Programs at Johns Hopkins University, where he designs and teaches remote courses for the Johns Hopkins Globa Secutires and Master of Liberal Arts programs. Jay earned his PhD in War Studies from the Royal Military College of Canada and has published in Diplomacy and Statecraft, Small Wars and Insurgencies, and Defense and Security Analysis, among others. His books include the well-received Mavericks of War: The Unconventional, Unorthodox Innovators and Thinkers, Scholars, and Outsiders Who Mastered the Art of War (how's that for a subtitle!), published with Stackpole in 2019. An avid writer, Jay is also a novelist - his The Brimstone Files series is available from Nightshade Books. If you are hitting the writing wall, take a look at his Undefeated: Stay a Writer Against the Odds.
We'll talk Canadian military history, what makes one a "maverick" in history, luchadors, the Von Erics, being in a punk band, and, oddly, the best BBQ in Decatur, Georgia!
Shout-out to Pho City in Sacramento!
