In this episode I interview newly minted PhD Lucas Wiscons and Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice at NSU. In this episode find out what real encounters between the police and civilians are like. I also learn that there are such things as "ethnomethodology (the sociology of everyday life/commonsense knowledge) and conversation analysis (talk in interaction as the locus of social organization)". If you are interested in how the police and the people they encounter view the interaction later, this is the show for you.

Intrepid professor of government Jon Schaff and I discuss President Trump's amazing week. Topics include DOGE, whether the Chief Executive will regain control over the executive branch, the state of the southern border, and the President's recent (not) State of the Union speech.

In this episode, Professor Jon Schaff, Steven Usitalo, and myself discuss politics beyond our national borders. President Trump is attempting to end wars in Southern Europe and the Middle East. Will he be successful and if so, what will the peace look like? Will aggression have turned a profit for Putin and Hamas? How serious and how effective will President Trump's tariff strategy be? And finally, some movie suggestions from out intrepid trio.
