Veteran-Owned Small Business
We started Tracer Burnout with a simple idea: a platform for military veterans to share their stories of service. By inviting veterans to speak about their experiences, we hope to help them feel heard, to know their service matters, to preserve their memories for future generations, and to provide civilians with a better understanding of life in the service.

Your financial support helps us bring the stories of veterans to everyone and preserve the memories of their service for future generations. Consider a monthly contribution.

“I made that decision to live my life in his honor.”
In this episode, Army veteran and country music star, Mr. Ryan Weaver, joins us in our virtual studio. He tells us how he followed the family tradition of service and following his brothers' example to transition from analyzing intelligence to piloting helicopters. He also discusses the upside to getting to see the 'big picture' as a young soldier, getting busted for cheating (but not really cheating) as a Warrant Officer candidate, becoming a two-time Gold Star family, and how he went from small karaoke competitions to performing for sold-out arenas.
In the Free Fire Area, we discuss what the alternate Tracer Burnout timelines might look like.
“Marine Corps bootcamp is the funniest place that you are not allowed to laugh.”
Marine Corps veteran, Mr. JP Sircy II, sits down with us in the Tracer Burnout studio to tell us about his impulsivity leading him to follow a family tradition of service. From monthly training as a Reservist to full-time chaos in Fallujah, Iraq, to a surprising exit from the Corps - Mr. Sircy's time in uniform was full of memorable and painful experiences. He wouldn't have it any other way.
In the Free Fire Area, we discuss the one thing we couldn't live without if we were stranded on a desert island. Swiss Family Robinson, anyone?

In this Quick Hit, Army veteran, Mr. JP Lane, joins us in our virtual studio to tell us about his devastating injuries in Afghanistan, how faith and music helped him recover physically and mentally, and why he doesn't have the voice for country music.
In this Quick Hit, we are celebrating two years of Tracer Burnout and all of the lessons learned the hard way since we began. There are many of them; from our origin story to embarrassing failures to “Kevin McAllister” trying to rip us off, we cover quite a few things to give the listener a little peek behind the curtain.
