Description

The War Podcast will put a human face on war, increasing listeners’ understanding of this essential driver of human society throughout the ages. Everything we have, or do not have, is due to war. Yet for too many societies, war is associated with “over there” despite the fact that war, conflict and violence profoundly influence all our lifestyles, even if we don’t know it, or choose to ignore it. The War Podcast will present themes of war with compassion, for all people to understand. Each one-hour episode will focus on a theme — such as the lure of war; child and civilian casualties; journalists who cover war; veterans and their families; healing trauma through art; journalists who used to be soldiers; refugees; war orphans; dealing with traumatic brain injury; the new way of war; amputee rehabilitation; the quandary of leadership; PTSD in civilians, journalists & soldiers.
