One being, retired Lt. Col. Paula Payne, the daughter of a Tuskegee Airman, but also a history-maker in her own right. Her full interview can be heard in episode 20.

But also, the esteemed author, Barbara Karnes, RN - known for her booklets that cover topics on both end-of-life as well as grieving, also said "yes" to being a guest! Full interview was episode 18.
