Hey folks, Joyce Vance here. Preet is traveling this week, so today I'm joined by our friend and

colleague Mimi Roka for a new episode of The Insider podcast, and we're sharing an excerpt with listeners of

Stay tuned. Mimi is the former district attorney for Westchester County, New York, and a former
