Stay Positive This Holiday Season w/ Zykia McCoy
Captain Hunter's Podcast
This episode we will feature a fellow podcaster, Ms. Zykia McCoy. She is a caterer, business owner, poet, and mother. Despite being hit with many obstacles in life she has decided not to let life get her down. She is remaining positive and fighting the good fight. So many times I talk about the negative relations between the police and the public. However, this episode I thought it would be good to change it up and focus on the good and positive that at least one person is trying to spread all year round.

Do Black Officers Need Their Own Organizations?
Captain Hunter's Podcast
Do Black officers need their own unions and fraternal organizations? In this episode, we will explore this dynamic. We will talk about whether these organizations are even necessary in 2019 and beyond. It is my hope that the need for these organizations will decrease. I desire that we will be the post-racial society that so many news outlets claim we are. This episode will be controversial, however, if we are to progress as a country then these types of conversations are necessary.

Movie Review - "Black and Blue" w/ L Boogie Jr
Captain Hunter's Podcast
Who is L Boogie Jr? She's my favorite daughter. She and I will be starting a new podcast called The L Boogie Show very soon. This episode will appear on both podcasts. I thought it would be nice to get a younger non-police personnel's perspective as they viewed a movie about police corruption and to see how some people in society view the police. I also wanted to see if and how the media influences society's perspective on the police. The conversation was great and be on the lookout for The L-Boogie Show.

Principled Policing w/ Seth Stoughton
Captain Hunter's Podcast
Seth Stoughton is a university professor and law scholar. He has written for numerous academic and investigative publications. I wanted to have him on the show to discuss police militarization and hopefully his thoughts on police body-worn cameras. However, our convo got deep into what good PD's do or what they should do that we never got to the reason for the interview. Don't worry I will have him back and we will eventually get to and stay on topic.
