Despre acest podcast
Tales from the Corps is where military history meets the people who lived it.
Hosted by Marine Corps combat veterans Mike “Dirty Mike” Francis and Neal “Slider” Fauver, Tales from the Corps brings you unfiltered stories from military service, combat, and life after the uniform, along with conversations with veterans, historians, authors, filmmakers, and others who help preserve the stories behind the history.
From the battlefields of World War I and World War II to Iraq and Afghanistan, we dig into the moments, decisions, personalities, and experiences that shaped generations of service members.
Some episodes are hilarious. Some are brutal. Some challenge what you thought you knew about military history. All of them are about keeping these stories alive.
No war stories polished for the recruiting poster. No history stripped of the people who lived it.
Welcome to, Tales from the Corps.
