In the studio at Oshkosh Media Mike Hert and Adam Alexander shoot the first episode of “The Outpost.”
Mike Hert and Adam Alexander have stories to tell. But the newest public access show coming to Oshkosh Media’s Life TV (Spectrum Channel 2) isn’t just two military veterans chatting with each other. Hert and Alexander, members of Disabled American Veterans Ray H. Fuller Winnebago County Chapter 17 (DAV), have a mission to make the public more aware of the experiences of veterans in the Oshkosh community and the kinds of services available to them and their families. “As well as providing a platform for veterans to share their stories and experiences, we are hoping to use ‘The Outpost’ as a means of delivering news of the efforts and services provided by the Disabled American Veterans Chapter 17,” Alexander said.
The two recorded their first episode of “The Outpost” in late June (click here to watch). Hert and Alexander act as hosts and producers of the show, while Oshkosh Media staff provides technical support, including directing the show and helping to get content ready for each monthly recording. “We’ve known Mike Hert a long time because he provides commentary for our coverage of the city’s Memorial Day Procession,” said Oshkosh Media Operations Coordinator Jake Timm. “Mike and Adam are excellent people, and we are so excited to work with them to help bring their message to our community.”
The show will feature different guests on each episode, with Adam and Mike taking time to ask them about their experience in military service and beyond. The Friends of Oshkosh Community Media, a non-profit organization with the mission of supporting Oshkosh Media, is providing funding to the DAV to help get the show off the ground. “The Friends recognize the value and importance of the stories the DAV is going to tell,” said Friends of OCM Board President Joe Wiedenmeier. “The community, as well as individuals, will benefit from knowing and gaining an understanding of the stories and history the DAV will share.”
