Summary

Sara has reported from some of the toughest places on Earth. From the cartel-dominated areas south of our border to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, she's put herself in harm's way over and over to make sure that you know the truth. But for the most part, war reporting is a man's world. So what is it like for a woman?

Sara brings us on a journey through several different aspects of being a female war reporter by weaving in tense, uncertain, and even funny stories from her time in theater. She explains how, especially in Muslim cultures, a woman reporter is treated much differently than other men or women. But she also explains how being a woman allows her to speak with women and children in a way that male reporters would not be permitted.

She also talks about the obvious dangers that go into being a war correspondent and how being a woman gives her a different perspective while covering these conflicts. Don't miss this very personal look into some of Sara's best reporting.

0:00.0	Here we go.
0:01.0	The
0:01.4	covering the war is different.
0:08.2	For a woman than it is for a man, that's a fact.
0:11.0	I know there's some of you out there that think it's all gender fluidity and cisgender
0:15.8	and whatever the heck that is in the Sith Lord.
0:18.3	But it's a lot different when you're a woman.
0:21.3	And I was thinking about that the other day talking to my producers and actually talking
0:26.1	to my husband about it because it was such a different world.
0:31.1	I mean, when you think about America's longest war, the 20 years in Afghanistan and the
0:35.7	time we spent in Iraq, it was certainly life changing, at least for me it was.
0:42.6	And I think for many people in our nation who experienced what happened to our country
0:46.6	after September 11th, but it was really what was happening in the battlefield that taught
0:52.1	me so much, not only about myself, but about us as humans, about how we react to one another,
0:59.9	how we handle things in the worst of times, how we even find a sense of humor in the worst
1:06.6	of times with the idea that death could be around any corner at any minute.
1:13.6	And that's really what it was like.
1:15.1	I remember, and I'm going to go into more detail obviously as we go on into the podcast,
1:19.6	but I remember talking to troops about that, you know, men or women, you know, that feeling.
1:25.3	And I think that's where a lot of that weird PTSD comes from, but that idea that you're
1:30.4	playing this game of like Russian roulette really in a war zone, you know, no matter where
