This is a podcast geared toward bringing interesting people with interesting stories and backgrounds to light for others to hear and enjoy. Josh Rueff is the host of the new Rueff Around The Edges podcast and we hope you will enjoy hearing from the people we've come to know in life and their stories that should be shared. Many of the podcasts include Military Veterans telling their stories from time served in the different branches of the United States Military, Corrections, Fire, EMS, First Responders and different occupations in life. Other episodes touch on everyday life told by those who have experienced first hand, extraordinary events. We look forward to the interviews to come and hope you enjoy listening to their experiences as much as we do! "Revealing the stories of our lives and the events that make up our lives is fulfilling, but capturing these events for others to either learn from and repeat, or not repeat is essential and at the same time, rewarding.
