On December 25th, 2024, I had the privilege of recording a special episode at the Lewis V. Dorsey American Legion Post #112 in Abington, Massachusetts. This wasn’t just another recording—it was a chance to step outside my studio and do something unique. Armed with my wireless lavalier microphone, I captured the raw, authentic energy I was aiming for. The absence of extra lighting gave the episode a candid and natural vibe that wouldn’t have been the same otherwise. Using DaVinci Resolve 19, I worked to get the sound just right, bringing the essence of the moment to life. The setting of P…

I talked with returning guest, Audrey Nick Hugh, the “Amazonian Warrior,” a veteran and founder of the Amazonian Warrior Foundation. Audrey’s foundation supports military personnel impacted by sexual assault and PTSD, while her advocacy extends to a pressing issue: deported veterans. This conversation had a different focus because Audry is helping Veterans who are not American citizens. There are documented cases where these Veterans get deported. Historically, immigrant veterans were guaranteed citizenship as recognition for their service, a practice dating back to the War of 1812. Howe…

This week on Oscar Mike Radio, I welcomed back Steven Vincent was on Oscar Mike Radio 410 in August 2024.
