His last assignment was as the Lieutenant/commanding officer of the Area Three Homicide/Sex/Gang Crimes unit.In today's episode we discuss:·      Rick's newest book series that is in development that has a very interesting plot twist! ·      Funny and disturbing Thanksgiving stories from the street.·      Alex Wilson asks; My story is a fictional murder in the UK.  Would a pathologist or similar ever go to see a body at the crime scene, to advise on the probable cause of death, possible weapons used etc, or would this only happen later at the postmortem?·      Sharon Reichs asks; How did you keep from killing a supervisor with all the liberal bullshit they spew as directives? (Not that I have an opinion or anything).·      Katherine Kovacic asks; What do you consider your best case and why? [Unrelated second question] Is there something you know now that you wish you knew then (specifically relating to policing!) and if so, what impact would that have had?·      Rose Bingham asks, Present day Chicago. A victim found strangled in the rain. Some paper found under her coat (that the killer would've handled) that didn't get wet had fingerprints on it (do-able?). Security camera at night had shown 2 separate people at the scene. I have the detective reviewing the footage but needs to have it blown up and possibly made a bit clearer. Who would be the people working on the footage?·      Lisa Messegee asks,California, present day, Is a detective required to attend the autopsy for a homicide victim?

"Now hear this. Now hear this. On this week's episode of Kirking Off the lads don their spelunking gear and join Mayweather who finally gets an opportunity to do something, which is to say that he quickly gets sidelined with a leg injury and promptly taken out of the main action. Don't worry dear listener because he wasn't really needed anyway. Apparently, Trip and Reed both know how to rock climb -- an important skill for the Chief Engineer and the Tactical Officer of a starship -- in space. Some Denobulan scientists have found themselves in the middle of a hostile regime change and only the Enterprise is close enough to help. Come to find out, Denobulans can scale sheer rocks and didn't really need the away teams help anyway. On an unrelated note, Dr. Phlox encounters some staunch racism from an injured man named Hudak who requires surgery to live, but would rather leave his children fatherless because of all the hate in his cold, black, heart. Phlox was happy to oblige him, but not because of his own grandmother's set aside killing rocks for use against lesser races, but rather because of his own personal ethics. Will the Phlox reach Hudak with an emotional tale about his Neo Nazi son? Will we ever learn more about Phlox? Did Brian get the entire KO team sick? We present to you, "The Breach," from Star Trek: Enterprise."

Join Becky as she interviews her Tactical Officer from West Point, Retired Army Officer and Defense Contractor Mimi Finch, and listen to their conversation about the seminal moments that molded Mimi into the leader and person she is today.   A champion of the underdog in her decades-long career, Mimi Finch has consistently stood up to misogyny, racism, and homophobia in situations that required a whole heap of courage. Even when the backlash was harsh and jeopardized her personal safety, her career, or her social status, Mimi spoke up.    Through some harrowing experiences, Mimi became the fearless feminist leader she wished she had herself when she went through the fourth class of women to graduate from West Point.    Mimi's story highlights the power and strength that can be found in radical vulnerability. Consider this a primer on questioning the status quo and making waves. May we all be inspired by her story and her willingness to disrupt oppression!   Trigger warning: contains discussion of sexual violence    Show Highlights:    Being true to yourself and standing firm in your values, no matter what the consequences  Working through the internal struggle of whether or not to say something when someone has done something wrong  Dealing with the backlash of calling out criminal sexist behavior Reckoning with the realization that people in power can cause harm Pre-order Becky's Book Impact With Integrity: Repair the World Without Breaking Yourself

As the episode opened we find the U.S.S. Gargarin engaged in a fierce battle with several Klingon Birds of Prey using the cloaking technology. The Discovery joins the battle attacking but finds itself less than prepared. An inexperienced Tactical Officer appears wholly incompetent as he is too slow to target and fire on the enemy vessels. Just then, Kol decloaks the Sarcophagus Ship an delivers several fatal phaser shots weakening the ship’s shields. In a last ditch effort to protect the Gargarin Lorca orders the helmsman to put the Discovery between it and two Klingon ships. Discovery is hit by one photon torpedo but the other gets pass it and destroys the other Federation ship. After Discovery leaves the scene, Lorca will not allow the crew to give into sentiment. He tells them, “now is not the time to grieve.” However, Lorca also understands that despite their advantage with the spore drive technology, he still has a raw crew under his command whose inexperience may one day prove their undoing. Meanwhile, First Officer Saru, Michael Burnham, and Lt. Ash Tyler go on an away mission to the planet Pahvo, in an effort to adapt an extremely tall crystalline tower that broadcast on a unique frequency resonating from the entire planet. They wish to turn the tower into an antenna broadcasting a different frequency to disrupt cloaked Klingon ships. They find the planet inhabited by the Pahvans, a group of sentient noncorporeal beings who appear to live in harmony with the entire planet. Saru initiates first contact with them in an attempt to communicate their mission objectives. However, he becomes entranced by the euphoric, peaceful world of the Pahvans. Saru attempts to convince Burnham and Tyler to forgo their mission and remain on the planet, but Michael is able to incapacitate Saru. The Pahvans initially appear to accommodate Michael’s request to aid the Federation. However, back on the Discovery, Lorca later learns the Pahvans naively have sent messages to the Klingons and Federation to meet there to broker a peace.
