The Two Captains Who Captivate Listeners

During their Army careers, Captain Kim Liszka and Captain Dakota Olson-Harris experienced both the highs and lows of service. But it was their relationships with fellow female Soldiers that provided some of their greatest memories and inspired them to create Dog Tag Diaries, a podcast series that provides a forum for females serving to share their stories and advice for the next generation. Captain Liszka served in the Army as a combat medic, combat nurse, flight nurse instructor, and top athlete. Captain Olson-Harris currently serves in the National Guard and is a counselor in her civilian life. Host LTG (Ret.) Leslie C. Smith sits down with Captains Liszka and Olson-Harris to discuss their Army stories, how the podcast has helped out other female servicemembers (as well as themselves) and to discuss the finer cuisine of...bugs.
