The Kiritsis Standoff: One Officer’s Memory of an Unthinkable Day

Hosted by Ezra Hill, with special guest, Jason Graybel and Lauren Ashby 
In 1977, Indianapolis was thrust into a crisis unlike anything it had seen before.Tony Kiritsis, a deeply troubled man armed with a sawed-off shotgun rigged to a dead-man’s switch, took a hostage and forced law enforcement into a tense, unforgettable standoff.
In this episode, we hear directly from a police officer who's Father was deeply involved that day—someone who stood face-to-face with Kiritsis during the hours when a single mistake could have meant instant death.
This is not a sensational retelling.It is a first-hand account of fear, restraint, judgment under pressure, and the human cost carried by those who answer the call when everything is on the line.

This episode explores the idea of spiritual self-diagnosis—the practice of honestly examining one’s inner life, beliefs, habits, and emotional patterns. Rather than offering prescriptions or answers, the conversation invites reflection: What am I carrying? What feels aligned? What feels fractured or ignored?
Through thoughtful dialogue and personal insight, the episode encourages listeners to slow down, ask better questions of themselves, and recognize the difference between surface-level fixes and deeper spiritual awareness.
This is not about judgment or labels—it’s about clarity, humility, and growth.

Platonic Perspectives is a thought-provoking podcast that explores one of the most debated questions in modern relationships: Can men and women truly maintain a meaningful, completely platonic friendship?
This episode dives into the nuances of cross-gender relationships—where boundaries are tested, emotions are examined, and assumptions are challenged. Through candid conversations, personal stories, expert commentary, and cultural insights, we uncover why these friendships can be so rewarding… and sometimes so complicated.
From navigating attraction and setting healthy boundaries to understanding how society shapes our expectations, Platonic Perspectives offers a balanced, insightful look at what it really means to be “just friends.”
Whether you’re seeking clarity, curious about the dynamics, or simply love deep, honest conversations about human connection, this podcast gives you a fresh perspective on friendships between men and women—one story, one discussion, and one myth at a time.
