LB sits down with Andrew McCabe to learn about how his early experience at the Bureau - as a street agent investigating Russian Organized Crime in Lucky Luciano's old territory, prepared him for an investigation into a Presidential candidate - who once housed those Kremlin-connected gangsters in his concrete cartel tower.

Probably the best podcast I’ve ever listened to. I learned so much listening to this. Very eye opening. I can’t wait for season two.
Wow!

Nothing I have heard, quite ties things together like LB does in this (his)story telling masterpiece. The origin stories of the NSA and FBI and the underworld are so full of detail and connection that when the Russian mob arrives and the current players stories are told one cannot see things at all differently. Why are we not seeing the subsequent seasons? I am worried she has been told to stop. By whom?
Amazing

We all knew Chetolini had mob connections, but Oh My God! LB really ties it together in a deeply interwoven connecting of the dots. You have to pay attention while listening, every little detail is important and comes back around full circle later in the story. Still waiting anxiously for season 2.
