Unto The Breach…

The Ken Harbaugh Show is a podcast and video series built on one conviction: that democracy is worth fighting for — and that those who have sworn to defend it have a special duty, in this moment, to uphold their oaths.

Each week, Ken sits down with journalists, veterans, activists, public officials, and everyday citizens for honest, unfiltered conversations about American democracy, national security, and the state of leadership in this country. No spin. No talking points. Just the truth, from people who’ve been in the arena.

ABOUT KEN

Ken Harbaugh is a former Navy pilot, veteran advocate, and political commentator. He is the producer of Against All Enemies, a #1 documentary on Apple TV, and his writing on civil-military affairs has appeared in The Atlantic, The New York Times, and The Yale Journal of International Law.

He has spent his post-service career doing what he did in uniform: showing up where it matters, speaking plainly, and refusing to look away.

SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS

Ken is available for speaking invitations from organizations, universities, civic groups, and events focused on democracy, veterans’ issues, and national security. He does charge an honorarium — in the form of a tax-deductible donation to Veterans Fighting Fascism, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
