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,

The format tends to mix solo recollections, reminiscences about training and chases, and warm, if sometimes provocative, conversations that appeal to true-crime enthusiasts and fans of Australian law-enforcement history.
