Great to have the pod back, after listening for years still entertained and excited to hear both John & Paul’s stories. Really enjoy the father - son bond. Serious topics are covered but still manages to crack me up with laughs 👍👍👍
We truly look forward to every episode and are so glad to have them back. This is a podcast that roams across a very broad range of topics, some true crime adjacent. But mostly defined by the personalities of the two broadcasters. Paul is highly professional and John is… John. Absolutely worth a listen.
Great to have you back lads. Have missed the stories and banter and looking forward to more of the same.
It seems Paul has Musk derangement syndrome to go along with his other issues,

I was catchng up on some older epesodes and your takes were so meaningfull and held extra weight considering what is happing right now in the US. Appriciate all that you do.

Two seasoned hosts, a father and his son, blend true-crime storytelling with personal policing memories and family banter. Across episodes, they mix archival cases, backstage policing details, and current events with humorous, warmer moments, creating a candid narrative about crime, memory, and media portrayal. Standout elements include long-running family dynamics, vivid field anecdotes (skydiving, high-speed chases, courtroom moments), and a strong sense of place around Sydney and Australian policing history that likely appeals to listeners who enjoy character-driven true crime and behind-the-scenes storytelling.
