Episode 3 of the Late Night History podcast, my co-host Alex West (@alexwest_coast) and I (@latenighthistory) welcome on our guest Luke Ryan (@lesgingerables). Luke is perhaps one of the coolest dudes that I work with. He is a former Army Ranger, an author, a poet, and a social media manager for Black Rifle Coffee. We discuss his childhood growing up in Pakistan and Thailand and how he achieved his first byline in a newspaper by the age of 12. We also cover the history of Army Rangers from the real old school days to how Ranger Battalion has evolved during the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT) — with a number of rabbit holes in-between. Towards the end of the show, we geek out on war and literature, World War I poetry, and Luke shares the latest news on his upcoming book with publisher Dead Reckoning Collective.
