Episode 741: Tales from the E4 Mafia Volume 2

The Blasters & Blades PodcastIf you want to know how the military actually works, you don't ask the generals... you ask the E4s. This week, we’re hosting a panel with the brilliant (and highly evasive) authors behind Tales of the E4 Mafia Volume 2. We’re diving into the unique culture of the "Sham Shield," the art of looking busy while doing absolutely nothing, and how these writers translate the absurd, dark, and heartwarming reality of barracks life into unforgettable fiction. Secure your perimeter and tune in… just don’t tell the First Sergeant. This was a fun interview, so go check it out. Co-Hosts: JR Handley (Grunt)Nick Garber (Super Grunt)Jana S Brown (Chief Shenanigator)We work for free, so if you wanna throw a few pennies our way there is a linked Buy Me A Coffee site where you can do so.
