Armed Forces Bank Launches "Militarily Speaking" Podcast Series Dedicated to Helping the Military Community Navigate Finances and Military Life


AFB Hosts Tom McLean and Jodi Vickery and guests provide wisdom and wit to service members; Militarily Speaking is available on popular podcast platforms, including Audible and Spotify.

FORT LEAVENWORTH, Kansas, July 7, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Armed Forces Bank (AFB), a full-service military bank committed to serving those who serve since 1907, today announced the launch of its biweekly "Militarily Speaking" podcast series, which is dedicated to helping the military community navigate finances, as well as military life overall.

Militarily Speaking shares stories and offers insights about both good and bad financial practices, as well as strategies to help service members get ahead. The podcast discusses military benefits members should take advantage of to become more financially independent. Topics highlight resources that help service members prepare for important milestones, such as Permanent Changes of Station (PCS) moves and the eventual transition to civilian life.

At the end of each episode, the podcast concludes with its "Military Minute," a guessing-game segment featuring military history, military facts and pop culture. Correct answers by listeners result in cash prizes, as well as a donation to a charity of the winner's choice.

"We're excited to share amazing stories and provide a force for opportunity, security and success for our military community," said Paul Holewinski, CEO of Armed Forces Bank. "The podcast features inspiring leaders who offer solutions that give our military men and women financial and personal advantages for lifelong success."

Militarily Speaking is hosted by Tom McLean and Jodi Vickery, two AFB executives with deep experience supporting military banking locations and their service members around the country (click here for bios). Tom and Jodi provide wisdom and wit as they conduct in-depth conversations with thought-leaders on key issues affecting the military community. Guests include:

"Our podcast guests offer insights and ingenuity to service members providing them with resources to adapt to life changing situations and emerge even stronger than before," said Tom McLean, SVP and Regional Military Executive for Armed Forces Bank.

Militarily Speaking is available on popular podcast platforms, including Audible, Spotify, Amazon Music and Blubrry, Apple Podcasts, and Google Podcasts. The podcast lasts 25 to 30 minutes and airs live every other week on Wednesday evenings, with the first podcast having aired on April 6. Recordings of the podcast are posted and may be listened to at no cost. Episodes are also available on Armed Forces Bank's website (http://www.afbank.com/media/category/podcast), which includes a summary of each episode.
