My brother suggested I listen to this podcast. It is cool to listen to a real experience of an undercover cop instead of the media or entertainment industry’s version. I’ve listened to 5 episodes so far and am so glad Michael has come through it okay.
Followed the pod since the beginning and have been pleasantly surprised with its progression over time.
Narration is well done (smartly scripted, then read aloud by Mr S.
Well done, sir. I’ll eagerly await the next upload. Cheers
Absolutely love this podcast aka Michael recalls some great jobs, stories & interviews! As an ex QLD Cop… loving it! Highly Recommend 💙
