About VET'ed. with Jen M. Wagman

Welcome to VET’ed. where we spotlight the issues that matter to the Veteran and military communities and their families and voices behind real change — from the battlefield to the frontlines of advocacy. This podcast exists to shine a light on the misperceptions, misconceptions, and misunderstandings that persist within and around the Veteran and military communities and their families. This is accomplished by inviting trusted, vetted guests—experts, advocates, professionals, and those with lived experience—who specialize in areas that matter most to service members, Veterans, and their loved ones. From navigating benefits and healthcare to understanding legal rights, mental health resources, transition support, and beyond, we bring facts and real talk to the table. This podcast is not just about delivering information—it's about creating a forum for honest, respectful, and sometimes difficult conversations. It’s a place where veterans, service members, and their families can ask questions, share their stories, express their frustrations, and engage directly with the topics raised by our subject matter guests. Trust is everything in these communities. That’s why every resource shared and every guest featured is carefully vetted—for accurate, reliable, relevant and useful information At its core, this podcast is here to bridge the gaps, cut through the red tape, and amplify the voices of those who have served, are serving, and stand beside those who do. This is about serving the people who served us—and making sure they know they’re not alone.
