Episode CV

Mike reads a journal entry from a relative that fought in WWII and was captured as a POW. It's John Oldroyd's recount of when his plane went down in 1944 & his parachute's descent to capture. Mike ties Nazis to racial discrimination that still exists to this day, and he covers the importance of ending racism across the board asap. He also discusses Flag Day, the conversations around statue removal, military base renaming, D-Day remembrance, Ulysses S. Grant, the current status of the world (the pandemic, the political landscape, and the civil unrest), ways that have helped him to achieve calmness during this time, ways to help others remotely during this time, as well as advice from his friend who is a nurse practitioner for good mental health.
