    Do you guys ever plan on releasing new episodes that address a case in depth? Because it kind of seems like you put in the work up front and then just called in a bunch of favors when you couldn’t keep it fresh. Do better or walk.

    This podcast started out strong with a multi-episode case, and now it is just one-offs with weird topics. Like tonight’s, about sleep! Wut?

  • Another excellent show.

    Well done, once again. Very interesting to hear from a retired patrol officer who loved his job. I’m sure there are many out there? I’ve just never heard an interview with one who says they truly loved it.

    I’m anxious to read his books.

    Nice job!
