Underbelly is a podcast series exploring the wild and true stories behind investigations into the underbelly of society. From enigmatic spies, to seedy criminals and crooked officials, to the upper echelons of government intelligence, we shine light on the underworld through never before heard revelations about crimes you never dared to imagine.
Season one of Underbelly—Brokers, Bagmen, & Moles—takes a fresh look at the FBI's most expensive undercover operation in history. Told through archival audio as well as new and exclusive interviews with the people who were there, this financial thriller features host Anjay Nagpal investigating whether the Feds' 1987 attempt at exposing widespread corruption at Chicago's future exchanges was a huge success... or a massive failure. It all depends who you ask.
Season two of Underbelly, premiering March 13—The Rebel Kind—is the unreal, real-life story of Dave Rupert, a six-foot-seven Chicago trucker who infiltrated the heart of a dangerous faction of the Irish Republican Army. Veteran journalists Bob Herguth and Abdon Pallasch tell you the story of how this unlikely man with entrepreneurial dreams and a willingness to do whatever it takes ends up being the most famous/infamous spy during The Troubles through tape recordings they made of Rupert in secret locations 20 years ago.

There Once Was A Trucker From Chicago
Meet Dave Rupert. A guy born in a part of Upstate New York so rural it's practically Canada, with a past nearly as untamed: trucker, one-time professional wrestler, pilot, a bit of a serial entrepreneur. Meet Mickey McKevitt. An ocean away, he leads the Irish Republican Army's militant splinter cell, the Real IRA. The two men had seemingly nothing in common, but by the time they met, Dave had earned the trust of the group as though he was an Irishman himself. Meet Bob Herguth and Abdon Pallasch, reporters who interviewed Rupert in secret locations over twenty years ago to find out about their first meeting.
