Would anyone enjoy being an interviewee for a podcast?

At the suggestion of a close friend of mine, I am examining the idea of starting a podcast in which I can interview other veterans who have gone through the deployment experience (not necessarily firefight/combat) resulting in some form of mental/behavioral health issue(s) that they were able to find healthy coping mechanisms for. In my experience, the issues people deal with are just as varied as they are and the methods by which they find the weight lifted are sometimes even more so. After speaking with my friend we believe that it might do a little good to do something of this sort to get different approaches and success stories at least out there. Of course, I have quite a few guys and gals that I served with that would no doubt be interested but the wider the range of experience(s) and coping mechanisms the better.

I've been very vocal and public about my PTSD so that I can help others and I'm available if you're looking for someone.

Not a chance, because you will get torched by someone no matter what you say.
