Warriors In Their Own Words | First Person War Stories

Booking Overview

This is an oral-history interview series focused on firsthand military service, wartime combat, and veterans’ personal accounts, with recent episodes primarily presenting archival recordings of decorated veterans and combat personnel. Credible pitches would include highly distinguished veterans, decorated service members, military historians with firsthand expertise, and officials connected to significant military experiences; booking is likely very high difficulty because of the show’s narrow subject matter and strong emphasis on archival or historically exceptional voices.
