Ep 257 “The Neighborhood Dad Patrol Edition” – National Gun Violence Awareness Month (Bullet Poof Bulletins) Celebrating the launch of eco-fiction anti-gun novella Bullet Poof and National Gun Violence Awareness Month, Avis Kalfsbeek brings back beloved Kitty O'Compost with the Bullet Poof Bulletins. Tonight on the Spoke-Easy stage, Kitty O'Compost shines a spotlight on the ridiculous intersection of suburban yard care and borrowed military authority. This bulletin satirizes a local homeowner who uses a paramilitary-styled "Dad Patrol" lawnmower to manufacture a sense of tactical command on his front lawn. Inspired by the connective and grounded themes of Bullet Poof, this episode exposes how commercialized security culture breeds isolation and reminds us of the true safety found when we choose open, friendly neighborly connection over manufactured armor. Resources: Bullet Poof is a hopeful eco-fiction novella about what happens when ordinary people refuse to accept the gun status quo.

Send us Fan MailReal reform requires honesty.It requires evidence.It requires experience.And most importantly—it requires conversation.Not lectures.Not slogans.And not screaming people into silence.That's what this podcast is about.Not defending bad policing.Not pretending problems don't exist.But talking honestly about what real police reform should actually look like—from the perspective of the people doing the job.Because for too long, police reform has been happening to officers instead of with them.And that's how you end up with bad policy, dangerous policy, and officers who feel abandoned by the very people making decisions about their profession.This season, we're going to talk to the people on the street. Patrol officers. Trainers. Detectives. Supervisors. The men and women actually doing the work.Not because they're perfect.But because if you want to reform policing, maybe you should start by listening to the people who actually police.
The whiplash is immediate and brutal. After the triumph of "Remembrance of the Daleks," this three-part story lands like a thud. Jim gives another harsh —an unprecedented score that suggests something fundamentally broken beneath the surface. Despite strong performances from McCoy and Aldred, the story struggles with disconnected thematic elements, confused production design, and a narrative that never quite coheres. The Setup That Doesn't Work Terra Alpha: an Earth colony where mandatory happiness enforced through surveillance and a cheerful Happiness Patrol keeps citizens compliant. The story also includes a candy-obsessed killer, underground dwellers (indigenous inhabitants driving plot devices), a visiting blues musician, and a complex political hierarchy. None of these elements integrate coherently. Jim's assessment: This is Paradise Towers revisited, but worse. Same drab corridors masquerading as streets, same societal oppression, same everything-we've-seen-before feeling, but without even Paradise Towers' redeeming visual moments. The Candyman Disaster Originally planned as a human villain—just a bored, pale killer. JNT and director Chris Clough wanted a robot instead. The result: an uncomfortable costume that restricted the actor's movement and visibility, made the character nonsensical, and looked rushed and disconnected from every other design element on set. The production nearly got sued by a candy company for the character's visual design. , Tonal Chaos The story can't decide what it wants to be. Satirical critique of authoritarian happiness? Straight thriller? Comedic romp? It tries all three and masters none. The mime-like makeup on the Happiness Patrol's faces goes unexplained. The slot machine execution method appears once, then switches to fondant surprise. These aren't deepening themes—they're random design choices. McCoy and Aldred Carry the Load Both hosts agree the leads transcend the material. McCoy's ad-libbed singing of "As Time Goes By" shows theatrical training and improvisational instinct. Aldred proves her action credentials and moral agency—the Doctor actively investigating rather than stumbling into danger. Yet even their chemistry can't save disconnected storytelling. John's specific note: the Doctor telling Ace "You're no good to me like this" when she's about to attack—character development that deserves better context. Production Quirks The TARDIS gets painted pink by the Happiness Patrol, requiring repainting back to blue. The sets feel claustrophobic despite supposedly being outside on streets. The behind-the-sofa guests (except McCoy, Aldred, and Sheila Hancock) admitted the story didn't work. Ratings dropped after Episode One (5.3M to 4.6M to bounce back to 5.3M). The Political Subtext Nobody Asked For Sheila Hancock (Helen A) read the script as Margaret Thatcher allegory and deliberately amplified her performance toward that direction. Andrew Cartmel apparently got nervous about the comparison; Hancock pushed harder into it. John appreciates the subtext; Jim dismisses it as irrelevant to the story itself. The political commentary doesn't enhance the narrative—it distracts from already-muddled plotting. What Could Have Worked Discussion of road-not-taken choices: What if they'd fully integrated Ace into the Happiness Patrol with brainwashing elements? What if the candy theme permeated every design choice instead of being isolated to the Candyman? What if this story had followed something other than the series' strongest episode? The Colin Baker Question Jim wonders aloud how Colin Baker might have handled this material—would his more theatrical approach have elevated the chaos or made it worse? Speculation on whether "Happiness Patrol" appears in any of the audio continuations (especially with alternate Doctors). Coming Up Next: Monday Patreon Exclusive 173: Music, Memory TARDIS, Doctor Who Unbound audio "Full Fathom Five," and comics—"Time and Tide" and "Follow That TARDIS!" Wednesday Main Feed (Friday Patreon Early): "Silver Nemesis" - the ACTUAL 25th Anniversary story (three parts). Jim handles narration. Will it recover from Happiness Patrol?

Send us Fan Mail“Have you ever shot someone?” Most cops will be asked this throughout their careers, including myself. Most cops go to retirement without having to take a life. Then others have been involved in multiple officer-involved shootings (OIS). Most of the time, there is no rhyme or reason to this. Although your chances of being involved in an OIS are much greater if you are actually doing police work and not hiding behind a desk for 25 years. Welcome back, everyone, to the conclusion of one of the most dramatic and impactful stories I have ever encountered since I started this podcast with Police Officer Michael Martinez of the San Diego Police Department. A little about Mike. Michael Martinez has been a police officer with the San Diego Police Department for about 10 years. After phase training, he was assigned to Southern Division, where he worked a variety of assignments, including Patrol, Acting Detective, and Field Training Officer. Officer Martinez has been involved in four Officer-Involved Shootings, the first three within his first 18 months after field training. He took advantage of a career-and life-changing opportunity that was offered to him by the San Diego Police Department's Wellness Unit. He was diagnosed with PTSD and now shares his story with fellow law enforcement officers. He is currently a member of the Department's OIS Peer Support Team and is currently assigned to the Department's Wellness Unit. Officer Martinez has received numerous awards and commendations, including a Medal for Valor. He truly believes his assignment is his calling to help others who are struggling in silence. His goal is to break the stigma of seeking and receiving help within the first responder profession and to be a resource to officers and their families. I admire Mike's honesty and willingness to help other cops who have gone through the trauma of being in an OIS. Mike has been through the wringer and is now helping his fellow cops. Please enjoy this raw and powerful interview with Police Officer Mike Martinez. In today's episode, we discuss:· The second officer involved shooting. Has he gone back to where it happened?· Did he react differently to this one compared to the first?· The third officer involved in a shooting. Did any bosses or friends suggest that he take a break from the street? How was his drinking and family life?· A breakdown of the third OIS.· The wellness unit confronting him while he was drunk.· His path towards a first responder-only treatment facility.· His experience there: how long and what did that treatment look like?.· Life after treatment.· Being voluntold to be on the wellness unit.· An overview of his fourth officer-involved shooting. · What was different about this one in how he dealt with it?· Was there ever a time when he thought perhaps he was in the wrong line of work and should get out while he was still in one piece?· His advice to someone who is going through a tough patch in their police career.· How can someone prepare for a career in LE?

In this episode of Fusion Patrol, John and Eugene analyze two contrasting episodes from Season 1 of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century: “A Blast for Buck” and “Ardala Returns.” They explore the quirky narrative of “A Blast for Buck,” a clip show that offers a humorous spin on nostalgia while critiquing the logic behind its past villains. They examine the use of limericks and the challenges of tension-building in traditional clip shows. Transitioning to “Ardala Returns,” they delve into character dynamics with Princess Ardala and Killer Kane, discussing how their interactions deepen viewer engagement while highlighting the absurdity of the sci-fi genre. Through a lively dialogue about humor, character development, and narrative structure, and they reflect on the show’s evolution.

The house in Troy stayed lit long after most of the neighborhood had gone dark again. Patrol cars still lined portions of the street, though fewer than earlier in the investigation. The frantic movement from the first night had faded into something quieter and more methodical. Detectives came and went carrying folders, sealed evidence containers, and cups of coffee that had gone cold before anyone finished them. The front lawn showed the wear of hours of foot traffic—mud pressed into the grass near the walkway, tire tracks along the curb where vehicles had pulled in and out through the night. Inside, the living room remained partially sealed off while investigators worked through the last sections of evidence collection. Portions of the carpet had already been removed. The couch still sat in place under the harsh light investigators had brought into the room, its familiar shape now surrounded by equipment cases, extension cords, evidence markers, and plastic sheeting spread across the floor. Detectives no longer spoke about the scene like something uncertain...Sources: https://allthatsinteresting.com/pam-hupphttps://time.com/6156033/the-thing-about-pam-renee-zellweger-true-story/https://www.stlmag.com/longform/pam-hupp/https://www.stlmag.com/news/defense-attorney-joel-schwartz-charles-bosworth-new-book-bone-deep-true-crime-betsy-faria-pam-hupp/https://people.com/pam-hupp-charge-refiled-betsy-faria-stabbing-death-8384298https://www.ksdk.com/article/news/crime/pam-hupp-may-not-be-tried-for-betsy-farias-murder-until-2028/63-fc0923af-96e0-409a-84d3-bc585dba3ef3https://fox2now.com/news/fox-files/pam-hupp-trial-delayed-but-unexpected-encounter-outside-highlights-day/https://insurancenewsnet.com/oarticle/Russell-Farias-wife-was-stabbed-55-times-but-was-he-the-killer-a-471968https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/pamela-hupp-murder-betsy-faria-dateline-podcast-1196738/https://crimereads.com/the-bizarre-self-incriminating-confession-of-pam-hupp/https://rsflawfirm.com/Firm-News/Russell-Faria-Acquitted-Of-Wife-s-Murder/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/kinda-murdery-true-crime-murder-stories--5496890/support.Zevon Odelberg is a true crime podcast host and disability advocate.

His journey from the streets of Southern California to the islands of Hawaii reveals a remarkable career as both a Cop and later an award-winning author whose books draw heavily from his real-life experiences. Murder for Hire During His Police Career In California. As a young cadet in California, Putnam was forced to grapple with the bizarre and devastating reality that murder had struck within his own family. The contract killing of his uncle was not just another crime, it was deeply personal. “When violence enters your own family, it changes the way you look at everything,” Putnam reflects. The murder-for-hire case revealed the devastating intersection of addiction, greed, and betrayal, leaving emotional wounds that would influence his perspective on justice and policing for decades to come. Today, his story is inspiring audiences through the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Apple, Spotify, iHeartradio and and many Podcast platforms. Despite that early trauma, Putnam pressed forward into law enforcement, building a highly respected career that spanned some of the most dangerous and specialized assignments in policing. Working primarily in Southern California, Putnam served in Patrol, Investigations, SWAT, Narcotics, Violent Crimes, Criminal Intelligence, Internal Affairs, and Detective Bureau operations. His experience on both street-level and major narcotics teams exposed him to the brutal realities of organized crime, drug trafficking, and violent offenders. Through these assignments, Putnam became known not only for his tactical expertise but for his unwavering dedication to public safety. The episode is available across major platforms including their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, with highlights shared across their Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn profiles. “Policing in California taught me that crime is rarely simple,” Putnam explains. “Behind every major case is a web of human pain, poor choices, and consequences.” His diverse career placed him at the center of some of the most challenging and dangerous criminal investigations imaginable, sharpening his instincts and deepening his understanding of criminal behavior.

Later, Putnam expanded his law enforcement career to Hawaii, where he served as a Special Agent on a real-life “Hawaii 5-0” team. Unlike the fictional television portrayal, Putnam's Hawaiian assignment involved real criminal investigations, intelligence work, and high-stakes operations in one of the nation's most unique law enforcement environments. “Hawaii brought its own challenges,” he says. “It may look like paradise, but crime and danger don't disappear because of beautiful scenery.” His work in Hawaii rounded out an already extraordinary career that few officers could match. After retiring from active duty, Putnam transformed his decades of law enforcement experience into a new mission, writing. Today, he is a best-selling and award-winning novelist, known for series such as Bruno Johnson, Dave Beckett, Bone Detective, and Misadventures of Imogene Taylor. His books are deeply influenced by the realities of crime, trauma, and justice he experienced firsthand.

The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. “Writing became another form of service,” Putnam explains. “It allows me to tell authentic stories about crime, survival, and humanity.” His novels resonate because they are grounded in real experiences rather than fictionalized stereotypes. Readers are drawn not only to his gripping plots but to the emotional depth that comes from a lifetime spent confronting real violence. Murder for Hire During His Police Career In California. Now living in California with his wife, their dogs, and an organic avocado farm, Putnam has built a quieter life far removed from the dangers of SWAT raids and violent crime scenes.

SJSO arrests SAPD Patrol Supervisor over domestic incident
In this episode, we go behind the scenes of what it really takes to keep the power flowing every day. At an Electric Membership Cooperative (EMC), it's not just about flipping a switch—it's a coordinated effort between system operators and lineworkers working around the clock to serve their communities.Before a lineworker is ever dispatched, the process begins in system operations—the nerve center of the cooperative.System operators are responsible for:Monitoring the electric grid 24/7Identifying outages and pinpointing problem areasDispatching crews quickly and efficientlyRerouting power when possible to minimize outagesUsing advanced technology and real-time data, they make critical decisions in seconds—especially during storms or peak demand.Once a call comes in, lineworkers are the boots on the ground—often working in challenging and unpredictable conditions.From routine maintenance to emergency restoration, line crews:Patrol lines to locate damageRepair or replace poles, transformers, and linesWork safely at heights and around high voltageRespond at all hours—day or night, rain or shineTheir work is physically demanding, highly technical, and essential to restoring normalcy for homes, schools, and businesses.Keeping the lights on isn't a solo job—it's a constant collaboration between system operators and field crews.Here's how the teamwork comes together:Operators analyze and direct, while crews execute in the fieldContinuous communication ensures safety and efficiencyEvery decision is made with one priority in mind: restoring power as quickly and safely as possibleDuring major outages, this partnership becomes even more critical.System operations track widespread outages in real timeCrews are deployed strategically to restore the largest number of members firstAdditional crews may be called in through mutual aid agreementsIt's a coordinated response that can span long hours and multiple days—all to bring communities back online.Reliable electricity powers everyday life—but it's easy to forget the people behind it.This episode highlights:The dedication and resilience of lineworkersThe precision and focus of system operatorsThe teamwork that keeps everything runningKeeping the lights on takes more than equipment—it takes people. From the control room to the top of the pole, every role matters in delivering safe, reliable power to the communities we serve.
Patrol work starts long before the call. From the moment an officer begins their shift, every decision — what to prioritize, how to respond and when to slow down — can impact outcomes for officers and the public alike. In this episode of the Policing Matters podcast, host Jim Dudley sits down with Sergeant John Banner of the White Settlement (Texas) Police Department to break down the critical thinking that happens behind the wheel. From managing competing demands like ALPR hits and priority calls to navigating fatigue, technology and pursuit decisions, this episode explores how officers maintain situational awareness and make sound judgments under pressure. Sgt. Banner shares practical insights on preparing mentally for shift, using technology effectively and coaching the next generation of officers — all while balancing the realities of modern policing. About our guest Sgt. John C. Banner is from Mineral Wells, Texas, and holds a bachelor's degree in business from Tarleton State University. He joined the White Settlement (Texas) Police Department in 2012 and has served in a variety of roles throughout his career, including detective, corporal, POA president and vice president, and SWAT operator. He currently serves as a night patrol sergeant and has also completed a rotation in the department's Street Crimes Division. Banner is a graduate of the ILEA 146th School of Police Supervision and has been recognized for his service with the Medal of Valor and two lifesaving awards. In 2024, he was also featured on “America's Most Wanted with John Walsh” (Season 2, Episode 4). About our sponsor This episode of the Policing Matters podcast is sponsored by OfficerStore.
