Episode 6 - (Police Interactions Part DEUX) w/ Comedian Ponchi Herrera - a podcast by Kam and Iggy

Show Notes  
In this episode, we continue our multi-part series on interactions with law enforcement. We start out talking about an important lesson taken from the impact of the job on the mental health of LEOs, and it turns into a deep dive! 

Kam and Iggy are joined on this episode by our producer and former EMT Nico Adjemian to talk about what it means to encounter these experiences on a regular basis, and then ourspecial guest, comedian Ponchi Herrera, talks about the impact of comedy on mental health. It turns out, we are all just broken toys!
