A must listen if you enjoy good cop stories. My favorite ones are the NYPD interviews.
Patrick is a fantastic interviewer, and his guests bring fascinating insight on all things law enforcement, criminal activity, and true crime mentality. You won’t be disappointed in giving this show a listen. High quality production!
I absolutely love this show. The creator interviews the most interesting guests (both law enforcement AND criminals/reformed criminals). I follow the Facebook group, too, and although I don’t post often, I do once in a while and have gained a TON of knowledge from the community.
I’ve been following this podcast on Spotify for a while. When I realized my MacBook comes with Apple Podcasts I decided to follow here, too. Looking forward to more excellent interviews to come!
Patrick is an awesome host. Very knowledgeable, great question and insight. I enjoyed being in the show.
