Update

When you have a lifetime's worth of experience in the criminal justice and military, you've accumulated some stories.

Others are shifted into fiction, to give space to say what you need to say without quite as many roadblocks...Guest: Gary Edgington, https://garyedgingtonauthor.com/....................Promo: OctoberPod Christmas Ghost Story (drops 25 December 2023)Disclaimer: AliciaMusic: Jake Pierle -- https://jakepierle.bandcamp.com/....................Ignorance Was Bliss online: https://linktr.ee/iwbpodcastSponsor: Bath By Bex (code CBDkate for 25% off)Sponsor: Komuso Design (code bliss15 for 15% off)Sponsor: Horrific Hope Film Festival 2024 (code bliss24 for 15% off submission)
