War Stories

A podcast and video series for operators who've been in the fight — military, mental, and physical.

Life is war. Train for it.

Co-hosted by Matt Gibson (20-year USAF Crew Chief, Green Ramp survivor, former VA claims examiner) and Jared Easley (Navy veteran, Podcast Movement co-founder). No sanitized veteran stories. No trauma cosplay. Conversations about what service actually costs — and what recovery actually requires.

Matt Gibson & E.M. Burlingame — The Link Between PTSD & TBI

Guest: E.M. Burlingame — former 1st Special Forces Group operator, Green Beret, TBI survivor, Senior Research Fellow at the National Foundation for Integrative Medicine.

The pilot digs into a problem the VA still fumbles: traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress are not the same wound, but they overlap, compound, and get misdiagnosed. Burlingame has lived it and researched it. Gibson has adjudicated it. This is the conversation veterans actually need.
