Published at | Updated at
The podcast Serial is featuring the Bowe Bergdahl case and in the newest episode released this week, Bergdahl shares what his captors did to him and asked him.
This week’s episode focuses on Bergdahl’s first year in captivity and his attempts to escape the Taliban men.
In an interview for the podcast, Bergdahl says he was chained to a bed and laid “spread-eagle on the bed and blindfolded” for months.
He recalls a lot of strange questions they asked – like how soldiers get prostitutes and what kind of alcohol they drink.
He recalls they also asked “Is Obama gay and sleeps with men?”
He shares other details about his captors – including how “they shaved my face in a way that would most amuse them” and how much they love Mountain Dew.
“If you want to piss those people off in that country, all you have to do is cut off their sugar supply,” he says.
