    Hell on Earth: Karl Williams

    In 2012, Karl Williams took a flight to Dubai to soak up the sun and party with his friends in the legendary club scene. That would be the last time he saw his home for over 1 year. Accused of a crime he didn't commit, Karl was driven out to the dessert by the police, tortured into confessing, and imprisoned in the infamous Port Rashid Detention Center commonly referred to as hell on earth. Karls excellent account of his survival in the one of the roughest prisons in the world, "Killing Time", can be found here. http://amzn.to/1U2fkrH

    The Mastermind: Evan Ratliff

    Paul Le Roux started out as a brilliant computer programmer who developed some of the strongest encryption software ever created. But that life was not good enough for him.

    Your Privacy Is Dead: Moritz Bartl

    You are being spied on right now. Acccording to Tor Project advocate and computer scientist Moritz Bartl, there is very little you can do about it. Governments and big corporations are aligned in the pursuit of your personal data, and they are winning the battle for online privacy. But there are a few brave people who are fighting back. And one of their weapons is the Tor Anonymity Network. It allows the user to surf, communicate, and just be online anonymously. I talked with Moritz about how the Tor Anonymity Network actually works, and if in fact having no privacy is the new normal.

    Rise of the Survelliance State: Andrei Soldatov Part 1

As a result, the internet in Russia developed into one of its most competitive industries. But in 2012, that promise died. Independent investigative journalist Andrei Soldatov talks about how the Russian security services have brought the internet to its knees, and what the future holds for the freedom of information in modern Russia.

    King of Clubland: Michael Alig

    In the late 80's through to the mid-90's, New York City was a different world from the corporate, Disney-fied, version of today. Crime and drugs were rampant. In a pre-9/11 world, the NYPD was just barely keeping the city safe. And that was fine for Michael Alig. The leader of the Club Kids, Michael promoted and threw some of the most legendary parties in New York City history. His success drew attention, fame, notoriety, money and a nasty drug habit. In one fateful night, his downward spiral would hit rock bottom, instantly killing a culture, an era, and a life.

    A Legendary Mountaineer: Cecilie Skog

    On August 1, 2008, 31 climbers from 8 separate international teams began summiting the second tallest mountain in the world, K2. Of those 31, only 20 would make it back to base camp alive. One of the survivors was legendary mountaineer and polar explorer Cecilie Skog. Unfortunately, one of the fatalities was her husband Rolf. I talked with her about that fateful day, the dangers of climbing K2, being the first women to climb all 7 summits and reaching both the North and South Pole. (Photo credit Facebook)
