In this episode of the Dr. Virga Podcast, I sit down with Dan and Roger, the hosts of the Tracer Burnout Podcast, a platform dedicated to telling the real, unfiltered stories of military veterans. We discuss their backgrounds, their time in service, and what led them to create a podcast that gives veterans a voice beyond the Hollywood stereotypes.
From their lifelong friendship as military brats to their decades-long careers in the Army, Dan and Roger share insights on service, transition, and the importance of preserving veteran stories. They talk about the misconceptions civilians have about the military, the challenges of adjusting to life after service, and the impact of storytelling on veteran mental health.
If you're a veteran looking to share your story or just want to hear raw and real conversations about military life, check out the Tracer Burnout Podcast.
