Hey there, this is Dan. So I'm really excited to tell you that the third season of Headlong

has launched and it's out right now. First, there was missing Richard Simmons, then there was

surviving Y2K, and now this third season is called Running from Cops. It's an investigation into

the reality show, Cops. We recorded 105 interviews. We watched and analyzed 846 episodes of Cops. It's really

different and we're really proud of it. I'm going to put the first few minutes here, but you should know

that the new season actually won't be in this feed that you're currently listening on. It'll be in a new

one called Running from Cops. Still free, still public, still same team, still Henry.

But this one is in a new feed.

So go search for that and subscribe right now.

This season of Running from Cops contains some pretty rough scenes of policing on television,

as well as audio of people in distressing situations,

which you might find upsetting.

There's also a fair amount of bad language.

Thanks for listening.

Episode 1, the one-celled amoeba.

I'm going to begin this story at the end of it, or almost the end, here in Spokane, Washington,

where my producer, Henry and I are in hour three of a Marathon City Council meeting.

I'm going to talk about the rumored tax increase on firearms and ammunition.

Jealous much?

Some might say local government meetings are boring and really long.

I've been waffling on what I was going to speak on. I had several issues.

I would just like to read.
