#185. Retired Senator Tom Harkin & I recorded this 'recycled' episode at his house in Hope Town, in the Bahamas, almost two years ago now. Tom was a career senator, but this episode is nothing about politics. Rather, it's about Tom's incredible, unbelievable life story. He was a fighter pilot during Vietnam and became one of the few people ever to eject from a jet and survive to tell the tale. He also tells his insane story about building a wooden trimaran in Japan and having it's Westerbeke engine shipped over on an aircraft carrier. Sailing has been the 'red thread' that has tied together Tom's life story. This is my all-time favorite interview, so even if you've heard it before, it's worth another listen.
