Indy Cat ,

Congratulations on 100

Great podcast and kudos to everyone who has worked so hard to bring these 100 episodes to fruition. Not being in public service but a daughter of a retired law enforcement officer these episodes have been an opportunity to get a glimpse of what the men & women of service deal with on a daily basis. The good, the bad and the very ugly. How hard they work to protect their families from seeing the cruelty of the world they deal with.
One of my favorites was Rick Hogg and his dig “Duko” what a tear jerker. But the ultimate was your 9-11 documentary. Seeing and listening to those who were the first responders was heart-stopping, heartbreaking at their loss and heartwarming at the love of their job, their city, their families both personal & professional. WOW!
A HUGH shoutout to your host Will Ayres and his #1 fan. He has a great ability to connect with his guests.
I am looking forward to your future vodcasts and many more episodes.
Great job 5.11
