November 2026
Artist: Ken Rodgers and Betty Rodgers
Air Date: November 1st, 2026
November’s Writer to Writer show features author and artist Rebecca Evans in conversation with writers, artists, producers and filmmakers, Ken and Betty Rodgers.
Talk about a power couple.
Ken and Betty share a united front; bringing necessary stories, the difficult narratives of war, and the impact on veterans and their families.
Ken’s published books include a collection of short stories, The Gods of Angkor Wat (BK Publications) and poems Trench Dining (Running Wolf Press) and Passenger Pigeons (Jaxon Press.)
Betty captures the minutiae in her photography, poetry, and film production. Together, Betty and Ken co-directed and co-produced Bravo! Common Men, Uncommon Valor, a feature length documentary film about Ken’s company of Marines at the Siege of Khe Sanh in 1968. They also co-directed and co-produced the award-winning documentary, I Married the War, weaving stories about caregivers for combat veterans.
This interview feels like a goldmine or a lottery ticket. Two hearts, two prolific artists, sharing the process, their inspirations, and their journeys into the storytelling world of film.
What a delight to hold this conversation with Ken and Betty as my guest on Writer to Writer, Stray Theater, Radio Boise.
