Get To Know Real Police, The Homicide Hunter. Special Episode. For fans of true crime, few names are as synonymous with justice as Joe Kenda. Known to millions as “The Homicide Hunter”, Kenda is a retired police detective lieutenant who solved 356 of the 387 homicide cases he worked during a 23-year career with the Colorado Springs Police Department, a staggering 92% closure rate. But for Kenda, the numbers are only part of the story. In an interview on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, he opened up about the emotional toll of hunting killers, his unexpected rise to television fame, and his compelling book, Killer Triggers. Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Medium and most all social media platforms. “If you kill someone in my city, I will find you,” Kenda once declared, a phrase that became the chilling mantra behind his Investigation Discovery (ID Channel) hit series Homicide Hunter. The show, which ran for nine seasons, became a staple in the world of true crime television, captivating viewers with its gripping real-life investigations and Kenda's unmistakably calm, resolute narration. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. The TV series Homicide Hunter offered more than just entertainment, it provided a window into the psyche of a seasoned detective who never lost sight of the human cost of murder. “I don't want to tell these stories. I need to,” Kenda said, reflecting on the unresolved trauma from his years on the force. As he reopened his “Murder Books”, the folders containing all the details of the cases he solved, he also reopened long-suppressed memories, and in doing so, offered audiences a rare, raw look at what it really means to live in the mind of a homicide detective. Get To Know Real Police, The Homicide Hunter. His book, Killer Triggers, goes even deeper. “This book offers my memories of homicide cases that I investigated or oversaw,” Kenda explains. Each chapter explores the psychological trigger behind a killing, whether rage, fear, revenge, money, lust, or sheer madness. “I chose this theme because even though the ‘why' of a murder case isn't always essential to solving it, it can sometimes lead us straight to the killer.” He adds that even after solving a case, the question of motive lingers. “The why still intrigues us, it disrupts our dreams, maybe because we all fear the demons that lie within our own psyche.” Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium, Blogspot and Linkedin. Born in Herminie, Pennsylvania, Kenda's journey into law enforcement began in an unlikely place: the Pittsburgh Zoo. A childhood encounter there sparked an early fascination with criminal behavior. After earning a degree in political science from the University of Pittsburgh and a master's in international relations from Ohio State University, Kenda considered a career in intelligence before ultimately joining the Colorado Springs Police Department in 1973. Kenda rose through the ranks quickly. By 1977, he was a detective solving cases other officers had deemed unsolvable. His instincts, sharp eye for human behavior, and relentless pursuit of the truth earned him a reputation that eventually led to a new chapter, one in front of the camera. Get To Know Real Police, The Homicide Hunter. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. His unexpected entrance into the world of television came long after his retirement. “I never thought I'd be on TV,” he admits. But after being approached by producers, Kenda agreed to share his stories, and Homicide Hunter was born. Now, in addition to that flagship show, he also hosts American Detective with Lt. Joe Kenda on Discovery+, continuing to bring real police work to television audiences across the globe. Off-screen, connect with him through our social media including Facebook, Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), and LinkedIn, and during the interview on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. You can listen to his stories and interview on our website for free in addition to platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify, and other major podcast platforms. Despite the fame, Kenda remains deeply grounded. He speaks openly about the impact his career had on his family, especially his wife, Mary Kathleen Mohler, whom he married in 1967. “You can't see what I've seen and not come away changed,” he says. “But I tried to leave it at the door. Not always successfully.” Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Medium and most all social media platforms. With decades of cases behind him, a bestselling book in stores, a loyal following across TV and podcasts, and a reputation as one of the most effective detectives in modern law enforcement history, Joe Kenda has become much more than just a name on a screen. He's a storyteller, a protector, and perhaps most importantly, a reminder that justice, though often elusive, is always worth pursuing. Get To Know Real Police, The Homicide Hunter. The interview is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast website, also available on platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most major podcast outlets.

Few people can say they've delivered a baby giraffe (let alone 3…), spent time with Steve Irwin, or that they traded Steelers tickets in exchange for a Komodo Dragon… but Henry Kacprzyk can share all those stories and more! He spent 43 years dedicating his career to the animals and guests at the Pittsburgh Zoo and Aquarium, and he has a lot of stories to tell!  I was lucky enough to accidentally meet Henry at my latest trip to the zoo, when I asked him question about the tail of a red panda. He had an absurd amount of knowledge and I said something like, wow, how do you know so much about these animals?!? I learned he was a long-time curator at the zoo, and retired not too long before meeting him.    Be sure to check out watch or listen to this interview to hear Henry's behind-the-scenes look at his career at the Pittsburgh Zoo and Aquarium.

The great Pennsylvanian poet Taylor Swift once asked, “are there still beautiful things?”. The NAAEE Conference in Pittsburgh proved the answer is a resounding YES! I was lucky enough to be able to attend the North American Association for Environmental Education Conference in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania from the 6th-9th of November 2024! I met the most incredible people, made the most wonderful friends, and learned more than I ever could have dreamed of. It was constructive, challenging, enlightening, inspiring and joyful.

What happened next was a legal battle between the Zoo and the Derkosh family over who actually was at fault for the incident.  Support Our Patreon For More Unreleased Content: https://www.patreon.com/themiserymachine PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/themiserymachine Join Our Facebook Group: https://t.co/DeSZIIMgXs?amp=1 Instagram: miserymachinepodcast Twitter: misery_podcast Discord: https://discord.gg/kCCzjZM #themiserymachine #podcast #truecrime Source Material: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Maddox_Derkosh https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pittsburgh_Zoo_%26_Aquarium https://www.wtae.com/article/parents-settle-pittsburgh-zoo-lawsuit-in-mauling-1/7466481# https://theworld.org/stories/2012-11-05/boy-maddox-derkosh-mauled-wild-dogs-pittsburgh-zoo-didnt-have-chance https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2228712/Pittsburgh-zoo-death-Maddox-Derkosh-bled-death-mauled-African-wild-dogs-fell-pit-zoo--reopen-today.html https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/100243408/maddox-lamar-derkosh https://www.currentobituary.com/obit/117413 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExD2s17pZGU&ab_channel=WTAE-TVPittsburgh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApEoAHWNAVQ&ab_channel=WTAE-TVPittsburgh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nr8Yn0_4sfw&ab_channel=WTAE-TVPittsburgh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6z1KDX6uqaU&ab_channel=CBSNews https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhyKmk52f64&ab_channel=WTAE-TVPittsburgh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6Kx5WM-I_M&list=RD_6Kx5WM-I_M&start_radio=1&ab_channel=MouseSteps%2FJWLMedia

Both Kennywood Park and the Pittsburgh Zoo and Aquarium are celebrating their 125th birthdays this year, and their origin stories have something pretty special in common. In the first of a two-part series, we're focusing on the birth of the zoo, how it moved from Schenley Park to Highland, what sorts of animals first greeted its patrons, and how it's evolved since. Plus, why the zoo's accreditation and land lease are in jeopardy and which not-so-exotic animal Pittsburghers want back. Special thanks to our guest Mark Houser for bringing Pittsburgh's past back to life. His next antique skyscraper rooftop tour is June 3-4. Tickets are available here.

Jalen Hurts got that bag. What does this mean for Lamar Jackson? What kind of a jump do we need to see out of Kenny Pickett? What do the Steelers do to help Pickett in the draft?  BREAKFAST BYTES:  Brian Windhorst had to whisper during his Get Up hit because his hotel neighbors were giving him some crap. Crowley's daughter went to the pet store over the weekend and now really wants a tarantula. Colin's kids are pushing for a dog.  ROOTING FOR/ AGAINST - Crowley forgot that we're to have a Pittsburgh Zoo animal in the studio today at 9. 

BRAD SPIELBERGER - Brad got into the Jalen Hurts contract and what it may mean for Lamar Jackson. Brad has had the Steelers trading up to 9th in the draft in each of his last two mock drafts. He said he heard a rumor about this two weeks ago. Could it be a smokescreen? Brad said he heard that the Steelers have called the Falcons at 8. Brad doesn't think Jalen Carter will be there at nine, so he thinks the Steelers would be moving up for a tackle. We react to Brad Spielberger. We are 51/49 that we are having an animal from the Pittsburgh Zoo in studio at 9am. Pirates win. Their schedule sets up nicely for them right now. SHELBY CASSESSE   

It took more than a decade and four separate appeals to the state to get formal recognition of Pittsburgh's historic Chinatown neighborhood, which city officials decimated in the 1910s and '20s with the downtown construction of the Boulevard of the Allies. We're throwing it back to a conversation one year ago this week with Marian Lein, president of the Pittsburgh chapter of the OCA, to learn more about our shared history and ways to honor that Pan-Asian heritage today.

On this episode of the Hospitality Leaders podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Jeremy Goodman, President & CEO at Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium. Jeremy is one of the few people who is literally living his childhood dream of wanting to run a zoo. He was an animal sciences major in veterinary school, and worked his way up from small zoos to his current position in Pittsburgh. Like everyone, the onset of the pandemic was scary for Jeremy and his team. Unlike many other businesses, they couldn't keep the animals in their charge healthy and happy while working from home. This meant developing protocols to keep the animals and the team members safe and healthy. Many think of a zoo as just a place to see exotic animals, but it is also a mission-based education and conservation institution. Jeremy prides himself in using creativity to drive that mission. He encourages his staff to use their creativity to come up with new and better ways to do things. They're using that creativity to think of new ways to create a sense of ownership in the community — and it's working. People throughout the community are getting involved. @Dr. Jeremy Goodman @Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium Chris Cano Upshift If you enjoyed today's show, please leave a 5-Star review.

Dr. Barbara Baker the president and CEO of the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium for thirty years spoke at the Alliance of Marine Mammal Parks and Aquariums annual meeting in February (just as  the COVID-19 pandemic was arriving in the United States) as part of a panel discussion made up of leaders of major zoological organizations from around the world. She also serves as the Board Chair for the trade association known as the Zoological Association of America. Dr. Baker shares her insights on Expedia's decision to support ticket sales to zoos and aquariums accredited by a few trade groups but not others. Given the resurgence in activism by well-funded companies like PeTA and HSUS, Dr. Baker warns of the federal, state, and local legislative bills targeting such aspects of zoo operations as animal ambassadors, transports, breeding and public display. She argues these efforts are intended to force zoos into adopting a sanctuary model and eventually into extinction. She stresses the need for all zoo and aquarium accreditation organizations to work together and to resist activist efforts to divide and conquer zoo and aquarium professionals. Also, Dr Jo Fava from Animal Necessity returns with a great way for zoo and aquarium fans to support their local facilities struggling with the loss of revenues during the pandemic.

In this episode, you'll hear our Q&A Session with Laura Ellsworth, Jones Day’s first Partner-in-Charge of Global Community Service Initiatives. Our community asked Laura the following questions: How do you narrow down your causes that your passionate about to know what to focus on? You've carved your own path, how did you do that and not live in the shadow of your dad's success? What advice do you have for women who are in the workplace and raising a family? Who are you a Doctor Bob for? How do you try to be a Doctor Bob to them? What causes are you passionate about and how we can get behind them? As a leader with your influence, why do you take what may seem like small opportunities like this to speak at events like this? This was one of the best talks you've ever given!

Matthew Murphy is a Visiting Assistant Professor at Salem State University in Massachusetts, and will be a Visiting Assistant Professor at UMass Lowell this upcoming fall, teaching statistics and research methods. He earned his B.S. in Interdisciplinary Psychology/Biology in 2005 from Southampton College of Long Island University, mentored by Dr. Paul Forestell. Research experience there included work at the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium, and work at Brookhaven National Laboratories on a NASA-funded project on radiation's effects on auditory cognition. Matt moved on to Tufts University in Boston where he earned his M.S. in 2009 and Ph.D. in 2014, both in Psychology, under the mentorship of Bob Cook in the Avian Visual Cognition lab. His work with pigeons included absolute and relational control of auditory sequences, auditory entropy, rule-learning, spatial frequency perception, and intraocular visual memory. Matt's research interests include intraocular visual memory and self-recognition in animals. We talked about what got him into the field, why Bob Cook's lab is full of people who give great talks, about a life in science and his dissertation work as well as some of his recent stuff that he just published in JEP with Dan Brooks and Bob Cook. Thanks again to Red Arms for letting me mash up their music in the closing theme. Buy their music now.

He viewed that a lot of motivational speakers were all fluff, and a whole group of people left the meetings not inspired, but thinking "that was useless". Craig talks about how the people who are negative in your office might not be grumps naysayers, but valuable team members who should be seen as an asset.Check out this episode at Thom Singer chats with his friend Craig Price about the speaking business, life, orangutans, the Pittsburgh Zoo, and podcasting.
