  • Episode 340 - Warriors and Healers with Dr. Tania Glenn: Moral Injury and Mental Wellness
    Mar 23 2026

    Welcome to the Hangar Z Podcast, brought to you by Vertical HeliCASTS, in partnership with Vertical Valor.

    Today we’re joined by a familiar and respected voice in the public safety community, Dr. Tania Glenn. Following her appearances on episodes 176 and 177 of the Hangar Z Podcast, she returns to the show to dive into one of the most critical topics facing our profession: mental wellness.

    Dr. Glenn brings more than 30 years of experience working with first responders and members of our military, supporting those who operate in high-risk, high-stress environments. She’s the author of 10 books, including two for children, and is a sought-after keynote speaker and instructor, presenting across the country on resilience, wellness, and performance. Dr. Glenn has also contributed insightful articles to Vertical Valor, further connecting her work to the aviation and public safety communities.

    We’re excited to have her back to continue this important conversation. For more information about Dr. Glenn and her team, visit TaniaGlenn.com. Be sure to also visit smashingthestigma.com to view her latest documentary, Warriors and Healers.

  • Episode 339 The Simple Leadership Principle That Builds Trust and Loyalty Part 2
    Mar 19 2026

    Welcome to The Hangar Z Podcast, brought to you by Vertical HeliCASTS, in partnership with Valor +.

    Welcome back to the Hangar Z Podcast, where we continue our ongoing series of conversations on leadership in law enforcement.

    In this episode, we’re joined by two exceptional leaders: Chief Ed Delmore of the Pelham Police Department and Chief Scott Hughes of the Hamilton Township Police Department.

    Both chiefs bring decades of experience and a proven track record that led them to the highest levels of leadership within their organizations. Beyond the badge, they are also thoughtful voices in the profession, having authored numerous articles on leadership, current events in law enforcement, and tactical considerations. Today, we dive deep into two of those articles and use them as a springboard for a wide-ranging discussion.

    We explore leadership philosophies, the importance of training, protecting your people, maintaining standards, retention and recruitment, and what it truly means to lead from the front. Chiefs Delmore and Hughes speak candidly about standing for what’s right, applying common sense to leadership, and refusing to tolerate toxic behavior within the ranks.

    This is an honest, insightful conversation with two chiefs who lead with courage, integrity, and clarity of purpose. No matter your role in law enforcement, there is something to learn from these two incredible leaders.
