Segal's first guest on the rebooted series is Army Major Stephen Von Jett, a public affairs instructor at the Pentagon's Defense Information School. Von Jett discusses what federal agencies and corporate executives can learn from how military officers are trained to communicate with the public about crisis situations. He also shares his experiences dealing with a crisis. 

The weekly Crisis Ahead shows take deep dives into crisis-related issues and topics with experts from the government and private sectors. Segal interviews them about their training, strategies, tactics, and techniques for managing and communicating about a crisis; how a recent crisis in the news was managed; and what others can learn and apply when they have to respond to a crisis.

In addition to being posted on the Federal News Network's website Monday mornings, new Crisis Aheadepisodes can be heard on the network's 1500-AM radio station (WFED) on Fridays at 2:30 pm (ET). Episodes also are posted on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and wherever else podcasts are found. The video versions feature on-camera interviews with guests and are posted on YouTube and other social media platforms.
