Survival. It's a natural instinct and sometimes it's not always about life or death situations.

There are as many ways to survive as there are ways  to live --  but it takes a special kind of person to show a whole nation how to survive. On today's episode of Radio Allegro we meet Colby Buzzell, blogger, soldier, and American Hero. He plays his favourite music and discusse blogging in a war zone and coming home to a America. His new book is My War: Killing Time in Iraq and it's available on Amazon  and at bookstores everywhere.

Produced, hosted, written, and edited by Ashley Foot
