  • James "McGruff" Hunt (Retired USAF A-10 pilot, current AZ Ranger)

    I am so glad James reached out and I really enjoyed his interview! He served the United States as an A-10 pilot, but as with many guests, I find myself intrigued by the pathway that led him there!!!

    Deployments to the Middle East, becoming a Red Flag instructor, and he got little personal about how these deployments affected his home life and the steps he had to take to take care of his mental health along the way.

    He spent some time volunteering with the Tucson Police Department and now helps the South Tucson Police Department with the Arizona Rangers. It isn't surprising, so many of my guests continue to serve others in some capacity even after their careers!

    Give him a warm welcome to the Choir Practice Squad and turn it up!!!

    As we close out the year with a rainy day in Tucson, I'm sharing a "best of" episode from the vaults. I plan on returning in the new year with all new episodes and new guests, but for now, enjoy time with your families, cherish a few quiet moments and welcome in new possibilities for the future.

    Joaquin was cool enough to be a guest on the show when it was a fledgling little thing I was trying the get up and running. Over four years since his episode aired, the listeners have quietly pushed it into a nice place of prominence, he is the fifth time most popular!!!!

    Find out why, tune in and turn it up. He's quite the cowboy, a westside cop, who fell into this profession and made the most of it. Thanks again for all the love and support, I look forward to 2026 here on the show.

  • Andy Silverman Memorial Episode (Retired NYPD and Transit Police)

    I recently learned that Andy passed away. His wife said there will be a service after the holidays, but I thought it would be appropriate to honor his memory by playing his episode.

    I'm honored to have had him on the show, and to provide this permanent legacy to his friends and family. Hold each other a bit closer this season, put aside petty differences and enjoy the time you have together.


    Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone...
