Welcome to The Scuttlebutt, a weekly pre-recorded program presented by The Veterans Breakfast Club. “Scuttlebutt” is a military term (specifically Navy) for talk or gossip around the watercooler below decks. And this is what our program is all about: we have informed conversations about the military experience, past and present. We want to bridge the divide between those who serve and those who don’t. We look at headlines, we tackle important topics, and we ask questions. Join us on this journey of spreading the Scuttlebutt!

Shakespeare on Veterans

Kit Harington (Game of Thrones) will play the title role in National Theatre's upcoming revival of Shakespeare's HENRY V. Considered by many to be Shakespeare's greatest play about the military. But how many characters in the Shakespearean canon are veterans and how did he have the insight to write them?

S5 Ep. 11: China

Monday Mar 07, 2022

50 years ago, Richard Nixon stepped off a plane in China and the world was watching. A lot has happened since that fateful week and joining The Scuttlebutt to talk about China, it's history, economy, and US/Sino relations is China specialist, author, vlogger, and host of the podcast, China Unraveled, Jason Szeftel.
