  • Excellent podcast

    I work in Time Square in New York in 1989 during the crack pandemic. They’re doing an excellent job explaining how dangerous it was to wear a uniform.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

NYPD Detective Mike Mulroy
Q: What was the most formative moment of your patrol days that shaped your later undercover work?
Mulroy describes the transition from street patrol to undercover work as a shift from high-adrenaline chases to patient, strategic engagement with suspects, and the importance of building trust with an informant network and trusted supervisors to advance complex cases.
Hunting Griselda Blanco
Q: Can you recount the undercover dynamite purchase and what went wrong/right?
He details meeting an informant, a dangerous handover involving a heavy dynamite bundle, a dramatic arrest, and the moment the suspect's accomplice charged in, illustrating the high risk of undercover work.
Hunting Griselda Blanco
Q: What was it like to work the Daedland shooting and the escalating violence in Miami?
The guest describes feeling overwhelmed by firepower disparity, corruption issues, and the high stakes of confronting armed criminals, while maintaining discipline and focus in chaotic scenes.
The Lufthansa heist: The Real GoodFellas
Q: How did undercover operations influence later mob prosecutions like Paradiso and others?
Undercover work, including wiring informants and leveraging informants' information, helped build cases that connected multiple figures across families, ultimately enabling higher-level prosecutions and pulling in witnesses who could break the code of silence.
The Lufthansa heist: The Real GoodFellas
Q: What was it like to arrest Jimmy Burke?
The arrest was handled by seasoned officers who described Burke as composed and resistant, and while the confrontation was straightforward, the proceedings highlighted the complexities of giving a case enough momentum to proceed despite limited cooperation.
