Insurgent Hunter - Jack Treadway Interview

·1 hr 5 min·1 clip

Israel and Cam are back with a special episode. They welcome Jack Treadway, whose book Insurgent Hunter is rooted in the work he did hunting insurgents in Iraq. The setup grows out of their earlier discussion of insurgencies in pop culture and opens the door to Jack's firsthand perspective. That gives the episode more weight than a typical entertainment chat. The hosts keep their familiar back-and-forth energy. The conversation stays conversational as it shifts between pop culture and military reality. The episode also leaves room for ad reads and transcript seams, which interrupt the flow at points. Even so, the interview keeps its attention on the gap between pop-culture portrayals of insurgency and the reality Jack brings from Iraq.
