Legal Aftermath with Marty Hayes - Our guest is again Marty Hayes, Director of the Armed Citizens' Legal Defense Network. Our discussion this time is on what to do and how to act right after a self-defense incident. We cover how and when to make your call to 911, what to say to the emergency operator, what to say and do when the police arrive, the importance of getting the right representation and a whole list of other subjects. It is another jam-packed episode that is critical for the responsible citizen who just wants to protect himself or herself and stay out of jail. (c) 2012 Palladium Education, Inc.

Podcast Technical Details
I use a Heil PR 40 dynamic microphone (and a Behringer C-1 when I am interviewing someone) connected to a XENYX 1622FX analog mixer with USB interface. The XENYX is in turn connected to my Apple MacPro. I use Soundtrack Pro 2 from Apple's Final Cut Studio software suite for all recording and editing. When on the road I use a Marantz PMD660 portable solid state recorder for interviewing. The theme music is called Zombie Chase by Kevin MacLeod and is used under a Creative Commons license. I publish the podcast at 80 kbps, 44.1 kHz, mono.
