Hey everyone, this is Chris, co-host of your favorite podcast, No Compromise.

It's been a little while, but anyway, I am checking back in with a couple quick tidbits.

First, if you didn't hear, No Compromise won a Pulitzer Prize for audio recording.

So if you are an early listener, you can tell all your friends that you have excellent taste.

Second, if you listen to NPR's morning edition or all things considered, you probably already know

that Lisa has been hard at work reporting on all matters, disinformation and misinformation.

Check it out, she's been kicking serious butt.

But I have been working on another podcast, it's called Taking Cover.

Now, I'm not the host on this one, I'm working more behind the scenes,

but I can say it's a pretty wild story about a fatal mistake in cover-up that happened during the Iraq War.

And, like No Compromise, it eventually spins off in a direction that's unexpected.

So far, we have released three episodes of Taking Cover.

This is episode one.

So give it a listen, if you like it, go check out the rest of the series in the Embedded Feed.

And if you really like it, or you just want to show your support for our work,

you can pay three bucks a month for Embedded Plus, which gives you early access and an ad-free listening experience.

Okay, here's episode one of Taking Cover.

Before we get started, you should know that this podcast contains graphic depictions of war,

and we're talking to Marines, so there's a lot of cursing.

Camp Pendleton in Southern California is the West Coast home of the United States Marine Corps,

200 square miles of hills and wetlands and long stretches of beach, just outside San Diego.

On its edge, there's a sharp hill covered with scrub trees and bushes that overlooks the Pacific Ocean.
