In this episode, we sit down with Dr Gary Currie — the CSI, Crime Scene Manager, national trainer, and senior lecturer who has shaped countless careers… including ours.
Gary reflects on more than 30 years under the barrier tape: from the early SOCO days to modern CSI work, the culture shifts, the chaos, the humour that keeps you going, and the moments that stay with you long after leaving the job.
We talk openly about:
🧪 What CSI work used to look like vs now
🚔 Stories only a real SOCO could tell
🧠 Coping mechanisms, hindsight & mental health
🎓 Teaching and influencing the next generation
🎶 And how Gary created our podcast theme tune
It’s honest, funny, and deeply personal — a conversation about the realities of a career that changed lives!
