497 -- Putting Together the Puzzle -- with Gary Edgington

When you have a lifetime's worth of experience in the criminal justice and military, you've accumulated some stories. Some are never to be told, due to privacy or intensity or just the inability to speak the words. 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/ ....................

Kate brings her real self to the microphone and brings the best out of her guests. By showing real interest in people from all different backgrounds, she sparks some really worthwhile conversations that never feel canned. There’s a reason she’s had such a long run in the pod scene, as you’ll discover if you give it a listen.
