Sebastian Junger: podcast appearances and interviews

Sebastian Junger is an American journalist, author, and filmmaker born on January 17, 1962. He has reported extensively from the field, covering dangerous and demanding occupations as well as infantry combat. Junger is the author of The Perfect Storm: A True Story of Men Against the Sea, published in 1997, which was adapted into a major motion picture and contributed to a renewed interest in adventure creative nonfiction writing. He has reported on the War in Afghanistan for more than a decade, often embedding himself in remote and perilous military outposts. His 2010 book War, based on his field reporting for Vanity Fair, serves as the background for the documentary Restrepo, which was awarded the Grand Jury Prize for best documentary at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. Junger's works frequently explore themes such as brotherhood, trauma, and the individual's relationship to society, drawing from a broad spectrum of human experience.
