  • 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.

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.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#135 - From Cop To Convict. How This Cop Lost His Badge, His Career, and His Freedom Behind Federal Bars w/Joey Hoadley
Q: What's the biggest thing that you've learned from all of this? From cop to prison to felon, what's the biggest lesson you've learned?
Hoadley says he is not defined by titles or rank and takes greater pride in being a father and baseball coach. He is still working out what life after the case will look like.
#135 - From Cop To Convict. How This Cop Lost His Badge, His Career, and His Freedom Behind Federal Bars w/Joey Hoadley
Q: Why should the people of Canyon County trust you with a badge again?
Hoadley says a presidential pardon would help clear his name and argues that his experience as an officer, defendant, inmate and probationer gives him a perspective other candidates may not have.
#134 - Behind Closed Doors: Breaking The Rules In Marriage, Parenting And Education. The Naked Truth Nobody Wants To Share w/Brit
Q: What would you recommend to somebody considering pulling their kids and homeschooling them?
Brit recommends starting by checking the homeschooling regulations in the family's state, then learning how the child learns and planning around the family's needs rather than copying a school routine.
#134 - Behind Closed Doors: Breaking The Rules In Marriage, Parenting And Education. The Naked Truth Nobody Wants To Share w/Brit
Q: How important has sex actually been in our healthy marriage?
Brit says sex is important, but it depends on emotional connection and communication. She describes sex and communication as reinforcing each other and says couples should discuss unmet needs openly.
#133 - Mass Shootings, Burning Buildings, and Falling Babies: How Much Trauma Is Too Much Trauma When You Vow To Protect and Serve w/William Woodstock
Q: How did you handle reintegration after the mass shootings and what helped you move forward?
I leaned on therapy, peer support, and a deliberate reintegration process; I redesigned my identity beyond the badge, shifted into leadership roles within homicide and management, and built a new mission around helping others through CVP and animal welfare.
