I think you need to do more background on Paul. Parts of his story sound like BS to me. Doing twenty-five years and not getting a pension does not make sense to me. There is more to that than he said. If that is not true, I would imagine that other parts of his story are not true either.
Apple Podcasts1instagram is a waste.United States3 months ago - Why so secretive?
Who is the host of this podcast? Why doesn’t he ever introduce himself? Only podcast I know where the host is anonymous. It makes the show suspect.
And the intrusive, sudden ADVERTISEMENTS—while a guest is MID-SYLLABLE talking usually!!—are so obnoxious that they show a complete contempt for the listener. Very authoritarian. Typical cop behavior.
