The Protectors® with Jason Piccolo
The original The Protectors® podcast, established in 2019, is about great conversations with interesting people, from veterans and leaders to athletes, entrepreneurs, and authors.
Hosted by retired federal agent, U.S. Army veteran (OIF 2006), and author Dr. Jason Piccolo, the show explores the paths that shaped each guest and what they've learned along the way. Many episodes also go behind the scenes with writers, from debut novelists to New York Times bestsellers, on the stories behind their books.
Honest, curious, and unscripted, these are the kinds of conversations you'll want to hear all the way through.

Ray’s Book: We March at Midnight is a blood-spattered tour de force of growing up, leadership, the nature of war, and its aftermath.
About Ray: Ray served as an infantry officer with 2nd Ranger Battalion and 10th Mountain Division, deploying four times and living almost two years on the Afghan-Pakistan border. He earned a Purple Heart, two Bronze Stars, and a medal for valor during his time in combat. His first novel, And The Whole Mountain Burned, won the American Library Association’s W. Y.
