  • Great and REAL podcast

    Found out about this podcast because Mike went on the Quite Frankly podcast. He has real life experience being in law enforcement. He’s authentic and easy to listen to. There isn’t bias; you can take from what he says and shares (clip-wise) and make your own conclusions.
