Our Mission

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.

we need your support

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.

Two Latest TB Episodes

Episode 0048 - Tommy Richardson

We're kicking off 2026 with our first Navy SEAL! Mr. Tommy Richardson joins us in studio to tell us about being bullied as kid, following the family tradition of service into the Marine Corps, and getting issued riot gear after the September 11th attacks.

The Corps may have sent him to the Philippines, Iraq, and Haiti, but the fun really started when he decided to become a SEAL. From a busted pelvis in BUDS to many, many trips to Afghanistan to the Home Base program and Divine Savagery, Mr. Richardson's mission isn't even close to finished.

In the Free Fire Area, Dan and Roger discuss where they would like to see the show go in 2026.

Episode 0047 - A Very Merry International Christmas Special 2025

It's the final episode of 2025! We begin with a little bit of self-reflection, a lot of thanks for our audience and guests, and the obligatory gift exchange. Then it's time for another international Christmas journey as Dan leads Roger through the traditions and cuisines that people may encounter if they can't be home for the holidays.

Afterwards, we return home to relax with a tasting and review of 13 Heroes bourbon and our final thoughts to close out another great year!
