Today, the FBI has more than 15,000 registered informants, and in the summer of 2020, Mickey is one of them. He’s getting paid a lot of money to expose crimes committed by activists. But his official motivation? “To fight terrorists.” The FBI thinks the same way — that racial justice activists are “anti-government extremists.”

3. Black Identity Extremism

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.
