About this listen

In this emotional episode of HotRod Mess, we honor the incredible life of H.A. McCarthy — “Mac” — a fearless Chicago police officer and one of the first ever saved by a Kevlar vest. Through the heartfelt voice of his longtime soul friend, Mary, we hear the true story of courage, survival, and deep friendship. Mary walks us through Mac’s wild journey on the force, the day that changed history, and the man behind the badge. This one’s raw, powerful, and full of love. Mac may be gone, but his story lives on.
