Olympic & Bundy with Christine Devine

Todd Tucker of Illusion Industries is a Hollywood go-to guy in the special effects industry. Along with working on some of your favorite movies, he's also a judge on the Food Network's Halloween Wars. His story and inspiration are so much more. Todd's inspiration comes from a childhood passion for special effects. He was bullied as a teen, even beaten up. Now, he's used his talents on that true-life story. He seeks revenge on his real-life attackers through his creative and spooky characters in 'The Terror of Hallows Eve.' Todd donates his time (and characters) to charity and hopes to be an inspiration to others where were bullied.

Have you ever wanted to be a police officer?

We learn why four LAPD officers love their job! Three are from LAPD’s recruitment unit and a fourth represents a mentoring program called Bigs in Blue.  All four share stories of life on and off the job and why they are proud to be LAPD. 

Olympic & Bundy podcast host Christine Devine first met Captain Aaron McCraney at the Taste of Soul on Crenshaw and then again at the National Association of Black Law Enforcement Executives, ABLE. He was invited to do the podcast and bring along some fellow officers. Christine also met LAPD Sergeant Keith Mott after seeing him profiled on Fox 11 News along with the Bigs in Blue program.

The podcast was pre-recorded over the summer, but as we kick off September there is this announcement of an upcoming LAPD hiring event helping future officers get on the job.
