Check out "Unconventional Warfare," a series of podcasts created by Geist contributor Louie Palu and hosted by The Atlantic.

If you don’t have time to watch them all, "The Grenade" will give you an idea of how long you can hold onto a grenade before you have to throw it and what a good job Mike, the squad leader, does.
