Show Notes
One night In 1968, Ed Meagher was finishing his last shift at Clark Airways, which included authenticating and repeating messages for the nuclear-armed B-52 fleet in Southeast Asia.
Then his phone lines started dinging, with signal after signal — and he couldn’t figure out why none were a match.
This monologue is the second in our series with The War Horse.
