On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Once a police officer in upstate New York and Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Laurie Lynn Drummond has published a set of short stories that expose the fear, humanity, courage, and conflicts officers often feel while walking the beat. A police woman for sure — but Angie Dickinson she ain’t.
