331. Andrew Mercado - From Minneapolis to Ukraine - A Personal Journey into Independent Frontline Media

Andrew Mercado is a U.S. Army Veteran who served both on active duty and
in the reserves as an 88M motor transport operator from 2012 - 2020
with one tour overseas. His journey into journalism began when George
Floyd was murdered in his home city of Minneapolis in 2020 and I had the
desire to report on the subsequent riots, unrest, and protests. It’s a
journey that led him to Ukraine, where he’s become a powerful voice in
bringing the war to life on his YouTube channel.
