Listeners will hear from veterans who carry the weight of brothers lost, and from a new generation still learning what that sacrifice means.  This isn't just a podcast episode — it's a tribute.

The PACT Act, Veteran Voices, and the Power of Saying ‘I’m Not Okay

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2187267/fan_mail/new] In this powerful and informative episode, hosts Dr. Craig Reed and Carl Pickney come together to unpack the history and impact of the PACT Act—one of the most significant pieces of legislation affecting veterans’ healthcare in recent history. The conversation begins with a breakdown of how the PACT Act came to be, highlighting years of advocacy from veterans exposed to toxic substances during their service. Dr. Reed offers a deeply personal perspective as a veteran, while Carl brings insight shaped by the experiences of his family members who served. Together, they explain how this landmark law expands access to healthcare and disability benefits through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, particularly for those impacted by burn pits, Agent Orange, and other toxic exposures. Throughout the episode, the hosts emphasize a critical message: awareness is everything. Many veterans are unaware of the benefits they are entitled to, and this lack of knowledge can prevent them from receiving life-changing care and support. Equally important is the emotional and mental health component of the conversation. Dr. Reed and Carl create a space where vulnerability is not only accepted but encouraged—reminding veterans that it’s okay to say “I’m not okay.” They speak candidly about the stigma that often surrounds mental health in the veteran community and stress the importance of seeking help without shame. Interviewed by Dr. Craig Reed, the episode also highlights the experience of individuals who have either worked for the Department of Defense or served in the military. By blending policy, personal stories, and actionable guidance, this podcast serves as both an educational resource and a call to action.

The Bonus Dad

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2187267/fan_mail/new] In this episode of the African Triangle Initiative Podcast, co-hosts Dr. Craig Reed and Carl Pinkney explore the personal and meaningful topic of blended families. Dr. Reed reflects on his journey of becoming a “bonus dad” and the lessons he has learned while stepping into a fatherly role in a blended household. Drawing from his own life experiences, Dr. Reed shares insights on navigating this role with intention, respect, and humility. He discusses the importance of honoring existing parent–child relationships while building trust, consistency, and genuine connection. The conversation highlights how being a bonus parent requires patience, emotional awareness, and a commitment to supporting the well-being of the entire family. This thoughtful episode reminds us that family is built not only by biology but also by love, respect, and the willingness to show up for one another.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
