When the FBI closes its net, several activists are arrested. And Zebb enters a criminal justice system that’s stacked against him. But has the FBI ignored a much bigger, much more real threat to America? And finally, Trevor tracks down the man in the silver hearse.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

10. America Didn't Send Its Best

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.

Homegrown OKC is a new podcast from NBC Universal, Esmail Corp., and Western Sound. It's a podcast adaptation of Jeffrey Toobin's book, Homegrown: Timothy McVeigh and the Rise of Right-Wing Extremism. The podcast chronicles the political, historical and media-personality influences that radicalized McVeigh resulting in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. It then looks at the legacy of the bombing and how it's catalyzed the growth of Right Wing extremism in the United States.
