In this episode of Sword and Pen, host Drew F. Lawrence converses with Jeff Parrott, a Salt Lake Tribune political journalist, Columbia journalism school graduate and army veteran.

Listen as we dive into Parrott’s take on the mental health of veterans and journalists; the importance of veterans in newsrooms; a local Salt Lake Tribune investigation on the Oath Keepers (an example of why local news matters); and the long walk - or sprint - out of the military and into media.

Sword and Pen is brought to you by co-hosts Lori King and Drew Lawrence.
