Veteran Made with Carey Kight is where military grit meets the heart of arts, entertainment, and culture. Hosted by filmmaker and veteran storyteller Carey Kight, this podcast delivers unfiltered conversations with guests at the top of their fields — Hollywood directors, acclaimed actors, visionary producers, and best-selling authors who are redefining how American culture bridges the military-civilian divide.
This isn’t polite small talk — it’s bold, revealing, and relentless. Veteran Made fuses the intensity of military discipline with the creative pulse of media and storytelling. Carey’s sharp, cinematic interviewing style cuts past surface talk to expose how creativity, courage, and conviction collide behind the scenes of today’s biggest cultural moments.
Listen to Veteran Made with Carey Kight for the conversations other shows won’t touch.
