1/ If you love True Crime, check out Taking Cover. It’s a mystery wrapped in the enigma of the Iraq war. And in today’s episode - it’s all about asking hard questions to people in power. The answers and the silences are shocking. tinyurl.com/5n8hcdd8

1/ These first two episodes of NPR’s Taking Cover podcast are… kind of a trip. I spent a lot of late nights talking with the guys from Echo 2/1, hearing their stories. What happened on that day – April 12th, 2004? The memories are raw. Painful. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…
