Summary

In this episode of APS Radio, host Jim Burneka welcomes Katherine Boyle and Chris Perry to share their experiences growing up as children of first responders. Both Boyle's and Perry's fathers were big-city police officers, however, their childhoods were quite different from one another. Boyle notes how her family kept the job as background noise, whereas Perry grew up with an awareness of the aftermath of a line-of-duty death.
