The Call-Up is a podcast about the human side of recruiting, leadership, and life in uniform. Hosted by J.W. Hand, the show features real conversations with recruiters, leaders, and professionals from across the military and beyond — exploring what it was like to get “called up” to recruiting, the challenges that came with it, and how the experience changed them. From funny stories and hard lessons to leadership, burnout, family life, and career transitions, The Call-Up focuses on the people behind the mission.John Hand Political Science Politics & Government
