Canadians' Stories from Afghanistan
CBC Listener's Choice - January 15th, 2010 - Living Out Loud - Canadians' Stories from Afghanistan
Bill Laven called us from Penticton, BC to request the November 13th edition of Living Out Loud. The show featured a collection of stories from Canadians involved with the war in Afghanistan but put a special focus on the story of Travis Scouten, what he saw in Afghanistan, his post-traumatic stress and how he tried to bring it all to the Canadian government's attention. Due to copyright restrictions, only excerpts from the program are presented on this podcast.
