  • Exposing Dirty and Dangerous Cops. My Kind of Conversations.

    I have been looking for a podcast like this for many, many years, including former cops to reach out too. I uncovered a lot of higher up cop crime because of my dirty cop, brother which led to my researching, and this is already helping me heal tremendously. This podcast is for you if you care about learning about politics and the dynamics inside our police departments. This is the guy exposing it all and we must protect him and his guests at all costs. Of course 5 stars. Keeping up the brave an... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#116 - Dirty Little Prison Secrets: Behind The Walls & The WhisleBlowing of Female Prison Corruption w/Andrea Weiskircher
Q: What drove you to come forward about the abuse inside the prison system?
A combination of accumulated evidence, personal trauma, and a realization that without public exposure and legal scrutiny, the abuses would continue unchecked. She emphasizes the need for accountability and an ombudsman-like reporting channel rather than relying on internal systems that protect staff.
#111 - Rodents to Retaliation: Inside the Boise School District Controversy Parents Need to Hear w/Michelle Chung
Q: What was the turning point in the dispute with the school district?
When I escalated to medical leave and then obtained independent inspector findings that contradicted the district's denials, leading to pressure that culminated in a settlement.
#111 - Rodents to Retaliation: Inside the Boise School District Controversy Parents Need to Hear w/Michelle Chung
Q: What started this crisis for you in the classroom?
A mouse problem that escalated to chronic infestations, with mice in appliances, droppings on cooking utensils, and ultimately Lyme disease linked to exposure, which the district denied and minimized for years.
#111 - Rodents to Retaliation: Inside the Boise School District Controversy Parents Need to Hear w/Michelle Chung
Q: Who are you and where are you from?
I am Michelle Chung, a longtime teacher in the Boise School District who faced years of rodent infestation issues in my classroom and fought through HR, legal action, and a public exposure to secure safer conditions for my students.
#112 - Inside the Brain of PTSD: How A Near Death Blast Sparks A New Way To Rebalance The Brain & Heal It w/Brenden Borrowman
Q: Walk me through the day you ended up getting blown up and shot.
I caught three rounds in the blast—one in the back plate, two in the front striker—my gear held, and I began the long process of recovery and rebuilding through new brain-based therapies.
