(Episode 8) The Foxhole Podcast

Author: Victor Sotomayor September 27, 2020 Duration: 45:19
I spoke to the co-hosts Matthew Pardue and Brock Joseph and executive producer Matthew Domenico of The Foxhole Podcast which has a mission to reach veterans from the military to speak about their good, bad and ugly experiences serving in the military. Here’s a description of their show and make sure to look them up on your favorite podcast platforms: Welcome to The Foxhole Podcast, where any veteran, no matter what rank, branch, or MOS, can tell their life story, their way. Are you a rowdy sailor listening in on the bitch box? Or a civilian who doesn’t even know what an MOS is? All are welcomed by our veteran/civilian duo hosts Brock Joseph and Matthew Pardue. We get to know these military veterans and learn their stories in their own words, in their own time. We’ll put you in marine Dusty’s driver’s seat as he hits his first IED in Afghanistan, or on sailor Armando’s bar stool as he gets a bottle smashed over his nose somewhere in Cuba. All you have to do is to tune in and get to know some veterans for who they are, not just what they did.

Victor Sotomayor hosts Italo’s Blog Talk Radio, a space where conversation flows without a script. The heart of this podcast is built on genuine encounters with individuals who approach life with creativity and a constructive outlook. Rather than polished interviews, you’ll hear the raw, spontaneous dialogue that happens when people speak openly about their journeys, ideas, and the forces that drive them. These discussions naturally weave through themes of society and culture, often touching on the personal journals and reflections that shape our experiences. It’s for anyone who appreciates the unvarnished truth and finds energy in authentic connection. Tuning in means joining a series of candid exchanges where inspiration isn’t a forced topic but a natural byproduct of honest talk. The rhythm of each episode is unique, guided solely by the guest and the moment, offering a refreshing departure from overly produced media. This podcast lives in the real, sometimes messy, always human moments between people who have something meaningful to share.
