Dave, I love listening to your podcasts. You’re voice is the equivalent of chocolate - it’s such a good tone.
I’ve just listened to your new p pop wrap album pod. Respect brother, from a similar sufferer.
As a Londoner heading up professional standards in the USA, this podcast has really helped me understand police officers’ internal world. Thank you. Invaluable stuff.
Starting at the beginning and enjoying the first 2 episodes of season 1. I find this podcast useful for life’s stressors, and understand more than I did before about policeman stress. I like this podcast very much. I expect to be educated immensely through the seasons.
I worked with a Superintendent called Andy Rhodes just before I retired. Has he a relative who looks like him or a twin? 💇♂️
This is SUCH an interesting podcast about compassion - the importance of bringing your authentic self to work, the 3 parts of self-compassion & how not only do the receivers & givers of compassion feel better, but so do the people who witness it.
Very well worth a listen!
