Archive Episode: I Borrowed Money for the Russian Mob, Part 1

In this 2022 episode, National Guardsman Therin Miller never imagined that placing an online ad for a roommate would result in something far scarier than anything he faced on two tours of combat zone duty. His new roommate, Brant Holloway, is a friendly, well-mannered local business owner. The two become fast friends, so when Brant suggests they go into business together, Therin is intrigued.

His escape ― helped by his girlfriend, also a National Guard member ― is a tale of courage and honesty.
