Hey y'all, I wanted to introduce y'all to a new show that I know you're really going to want to listen to, on our watch.

On our watch is an investigative podcast series from KQED. This season it follows the stories of two correctional

officers who pay a high price for exposing corruption and abuse by their

fellow officers.

The show shines a light on a broken accountability system through interrogation tapes,

911 audio, prison phone calls, personal audio recordings, and hours of emotional interviews.

It's an explosive and gripping narrative you need to hear.

I'm going to play a clip of the show so y'all can hear it for yourselves. Take a listen, take it in, and then

find and follow on our watch, wherever you're listening to this right now. You're going to

want to hear the whole story.

Congratulations, welcome to the family.

But once behind the walls, those promises are hard to keep.
