Jamie Brown Hantman has worked at the highest levels of government including at the White House and for the US Department of Justice. Politico named her one of the “50 Politicos to Watch."

Jamie calls her new book, Heels in the Arena: Living Purple in a Red/Blue Town, "Legally Blonde meets Bossypants" - and who could resist that? It's funny, insightful, and serves as an inspiration to other people interested in going into public service or just learning about what it really looks like behind the scenes in government.

Elliot Ackerman, WAITING FOR EDEN Dec 10, 2019

Show notes

Elliot Ackerman is the author of Waiting for Eden, the most beautiful, slim, searing book about the wife of a soldier and how she deals with his return home as a compromised version of himself. It's about the effects of the military on families and the inner struggles on the path to loyalty. Elliot is a brilliant writer whose prose makes me want to underline every sentence. His novel, Dark at the Crossing, was a finalist for the National Book Award. He also wrote Green on Blue and Places and Names: On War, Revolution, and Returning. A former Marine who served five tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan where he received the Silver Star, the Bronze Star for Valor, and the Purple Heart, Elliot is simply no joke. Listen to us discuss ALL of it.
