Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Donut Shop Podcast Episode 103 Augustus Hellwich
Q: How did Illuno start and what problem were you trying to solve?
Illuno began as a staffing and verification solution for off-duty police details, with a focus on transparency, liability protection, and a scalable technology platform to connect private businesses with qualified officers.
Donut Shop Podcast Episode 98 Patrick O'Donnell Retired Milwaukee Sergeant
Q: What advice would you give to aspiring storytellers who want to write about policing?
Start by writing the book; don't wait for perfect conditions. Use available tools, accept that the first version may not be perfect, and improve with each project. Also, balance storytelling with accurate details to keep the audience engaged and credible.
Donut Shop Podcast Episode 100 Thomas White Policing in Ireland
Q: How does firearm policy differ between rural Kerry and Dublin, and how does that shape policing on the ground?
Firearms are tightly regulated in Ireland; only certain roles have access to guns, and even then, licenses and safe storage rules are strict. In rural areas, there is less likelihood of on-hand firearms for regular patrols, with armed units being more centralized and called in when needed.
Donut Shop Podcast Episode 96 Anne Mullin Police Negotiator Black Swan Group
Q: How did you get into crisis negotiation?
I was in criminal intelligence and was encouraged by a colleague who led the crisis negotiation team; after a 40-hour school and extensive role-playing, I joined the team and started handling rotating on-call duties, eventually becoming a team lead and continuing to train others.
Donut Shop Podcast Episode 94 Anthony Dyer Special Missions Aviator
Q: What prompted you to write Moon Child and share your story with others?
He describes turning to writing as a coping mechanism that evolved into a healing process, aided by a professional editor who helped surface his memories and emotions, and ultimately aiming to help other veterans and first responders by showing that healing is possible.
