Binge Now: Alphabet Boys

"Alphabet Boys" is a 10-episode documentary podcast that reveals how the FBI infiltrated the racial justice movement during the summer of 2020. The final episode was released today.

“Alphabet Boys,” my new 10-episode documentary podcast from Western Sound and iHeartPodcasts, reveals how the Federal Bureau of Investigation infiltrated and undermined the racial justice movement during the summer of 2020. The tenth and final episode was released today, making the entire first season available to binge now.

You can find “Alphabet Boys” on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Sticher, Amazon Music, Pandora, or wherever you normally listen.

Reported, written, and hosted by me, “Alphabet Boys” is a new multi-season narrative podcast that brings listeners inside the world of America’s alphabet agencies, such as the FBI, CIA, DEA, and ATF. The audio documentary series dives into cases that raise a common question: Are federal agents and their informants catching or creating bad guys? 

Season one, “Trojan Hearse,” draws from hours of secret FBI undercover recordings to show how a paid informant with a silver hearse and a proclivity for violence became a leader among Denver’s racial justice activists, encouraged violence and destruction, and attempted to set up unsuspecting activists in crimes.
