Episode notes
Zach Dunn has interviewed over 165 veterans from 17 allied countries, and he does it all with an iPhone, a $30 tripod, and a $10 mic. It started when he found his grandfather's war medals in a box in his parents' basement. Now it's a race against time.
In this episode, Zach talks about what it takes to preserve the stories of WWII, Korean War, and Vietnam War veterans before they're gone. He shares how some veterans carried their experiences in silence for 50 to 80 years before opening up for the first time. He talks about the healing that happens when someone finally asks. And he makes a case for something simple but powerful: be curious, ask questions, and listen well. You never know what story is waiting to be told.
