Veterans
Take Charge

A terrestrial radio show out of Santa Cruz, California — and a growing national network of veterans doing extraordinary things after the uniform. Radio, podcasts, Roku TV, and a platform built to put your mission on the air.

01The Mission

More than a radio show.A network with a frequency.

We are a veteran team — founding members and hosts of the Veterans Take Charge Radio Show, broadcasting out of Santa Cruz, California. We are building a network of veterans across the country who are doing incredible things after their military experience.

We are not a business pitch. This is a multi-platform network for veterans, dependents, and survivors — a place to be heard, to promote your own work, and to find the organizations standing by nationwide.

“Healing from trauma. Partnership. Taking ownership of the next mission.”
