Listen to this episode BEFORE the Premium Episode 6 Roundtable Review (Free for a limited time.)
Ted Braden lied about his age and went to war at fifteen. It was the beginning of a life repeatedly drawn toward places, situations, and choices most people would spend their lives trying to avoid.
But what does a lifetime like that do to a person?
Episode 6 turns the investigation inward.
For the first time, we step back from the individual crimes, allegations, wars, and extraordinary episodes of Ted Braden’s life and examine the patterns running through them.
Fear, or lack thereof. Risk. Discipline. Secrecy. Control.
The man who emerges is filled with contradictions. At different times, Ted could appear disciplined or reckless, ordinary or dangerous, controlled or completely out of control.
Were those contradictions, or were they parts of the same man?
The deeper we look, the harder Ted Braden becomes to explain.
