Detective Kim Bertelli-Hunt is a legend in Pittsfield. Known as the "face of the department," she just retired from the Pittsfield Police Department after more than 43 years of service, making her the longest-serving female officer in the Commonwealth. Join me as we walk through her incredible career, starting with her first assignment: going undercover at Taconic High School in 1983. From there we cover her years on patrol, her time as a school resource officer and D.A.R.E. officer, and her eventual rise to detective. Bertelli-Hunt shares some great stories along the way, plus her perspective on building a career in a field that's long been dominated by men.

In this episode, I sit down with Warren Dews III from Hinsdale, MA. Making content as "Dewser" across multiple social media platforms, this dude always keeps it positive and has found success with skits, streaming, and just being himself. He even has his own dance. Dews holds a degree in criminal justice with a minor in psychology. We talk about two of his viral skits, where he posed as a worker at Walmart and Dunkin'. We also get into race relations in this country, since Dews grew up in a very rural, mostly white town. Plus, we discuss the Nolan Wells case and influencers like Chud the Builder and Clavicular. Watch out for this kid, Dewser. He's a winner. Enjoy.

News of Teddy Swims and Raiche Wright's break up have hit mainstream publications like TMZ, People, and Us Weekly recently. Swims just released a new track called "Break Up In Reverse" which is said to be about their troubled relationship. They have a 1 year-old son together, Rambo. So, what's life like for Raiche now? Raiche grew up in the Pittsfield, MA area and I have known her for 10 years. She is sweet and caring and I appreciate her bravery to sit down with me and chat. Enjoy.

Anthony Giovani grew up hard in the Dower Square area of Pittsfield and eventually became addicted to drugs and alcohol. He got sober about 5 years ago - but he's still addicted to the chaos. Giovani says he wants to be a journalist and a newsman for Pittsfield and the surrounding Berkshires - so he took it upon himself to go live and report on things happening in the area. Unfortunately, Giovani has been a little rough around the edges and has garnered haters out there. Like so many others, he caught my attention - so I decided to see what he is all about. Anthony says he realizes his mistakes. People can change. I wish him the best of luck, and I hope you get something from this episode. 

In this episode, I sit down with Pittsfield Police Chief Marc Maddalena. He is 5 months into his new position as Chief and get right into the current state of Pittsfield. We begin with the recent homicide on Tyler St. and where they are on the investigation and whether the city has a gang problem. The conversation segues to Pittsfield's nightcrawler and social media based "news" reporter Anthony Giovanni and his effect on policing and his most recent charge for weilding a hatchet in public. I also ask him where the popular community police officer Darren Derby is, the state of the homeless situation, night walkers (sex workers), drugs, swatting, the Fourth of July parade, fireworks and a potential new police station in Morningside. 

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Mark Kryskow, a trauma critical care and general surgeon with a focused interest in chest wall injury at Berkshire Medical Center in Pittsfield, MA. Dr. Kryskow is the man who is going to save your life, or at least try like hell to, if you get shot or stabbed, if I can speak in layman's terms for a moment. In this episode, we get into the nitty gritty of the job, debunk some myths, and compare the real thing to what you may have seen on HBO's "The Pitt". Enjoy.

The Pope just released a major encyclical on AI - and invited an atheist AI billionaire to stand beside him at the Vatican. In this episode, my friend Craig and I react to Pope Leo XIV’s powerful warning about Artificial Intelligence. He called for AI to be "disarmed" from logics of domination and exploitation. We also break down Chris Olah’s (co-founder of Anthropic and creator of Claude AI) speech - an atheist who was raised evangelical - as he shared his hopes and concerns for the future of AI. We discuss: • Is this historic collaboration between the Church and Big Tech a good thing? • What happens if AI replaces large parts of the human workforce? • How should Christians navigate the AI revolution? Join us for a thoughtful conversation on faith, technology, and the future of humanity.

In this episode we feature Harmony Edwards-Persip who was a contestant on America's Next Top Model during cycle 20 in 2013. She made it to the top 50 and was subsequently cut due to a pending case after a CORI check. She was devastated. What she learned from that experience, however, shaped what she has become today - a successful realtor, as well as, someone who speaks to women who struggle with anger issues to find their place in society. When Netflix dropped the documentary, Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model, Edwards-Persip had to watch. We also get into her life growing up in a mostly white community being born to a Jamaican immigrant and black father. Finally, found out why she has the word "woke" tattooed on her arm and how she feels about conservatism now. You maybe surprised. Enjoy.
