  • Summary

  • Alphabet Boys reveals the secret investigations of the FBI, DEA, ATF, and other alphabet agencies. Hosted by journalist Trevor Aaronson, Alphabet Boys exposes secret undercover recordings that the government never wanted the public to hear. We explore cases that are both dangerous and absurd in order to ask this question: Are America’s top cops catching criminals -- or creating them?

    Season two is “Up In Arms.” An international weapons deal to arm rebels in Colombia tangles up the DEA, the CIA, and the FBI in the same case. But who’s the good guy? And who’s the bad guy? This spy story is not at all what it seems.

    Alphabet Boys is a production of Western Sound.

    Introducing Pulse: The Untold Story
    Jul 11 2024

    Pulse: The Untold Story is a new Audible podcast from Western Sound. The Pulse nightclub attack in 2016 is among the deadliest mass shootings in American history. Forty-nine people lost their lives and another 53 were injured. In the aftermath, the FBI and the media embraced a story — that the attacker was a secretly gay Islamist extremist who targeted the LGBTQ+ community.

    But most of what you know about the shooting is wrong. This false narrative has obscured the truth and concealed the FBI’s failures to prevent the attack.

Love IT! Looking Forward to Learnning More!

The narration is excellent, as are the interviews and supporting evidence with FBI tapes. This is information that everyone who truly cares about democracy must know. It is disturbing that racism is so ingrained in our criminal justice institutions.

Must listen!

Love this, but also hate what the FBI is doing to people who want to make this country into what it supposed to be. Definitely a must listen if you are involved in trying to better this country.
