That being said, the podcast is rather mediocre and gets a bit repetitive after a while, not sure every episode needs its own podcast.
I learned from the podcast this little bit of trivia:
Only one police officer, Prez, ever fires his gun on the show and in all three cases it is a mistake.
I've never noticed that before since there're several times that cops draw their guns but they in fact never shoot.
I've only listened to the prologue episode and to season 1, episode 1 (the pilot). I'm not wild about the hosts of the cast, but I love The Wire so much I'll probably soldier on for a while.
I can only recall 2 instances of Prez firing his gun. In the first season, he fires it at the wall when he's showing off to Herc and Carver how light his trigger is. And then later in the show he shoots a fellow officer who he thought was a suspect.
