Podcast for the New American Century

02 - Once Upon a Time in Langley or the CIA's Other Manson Family


Listen Later

Remote station chiefs Erik and Ben liaison for another episode and check in with the Central Intelligence Agency and what it was up to in the 90s when it wasn't dodging questions about BCCI. We introduce the cast of characters including bearded lunatic/podcasting brother Mike Scheuer, professional ghost Richard Blee and blood drinking vampire Cofer Black. We laugh at some of the more harebrained early schemes to kill Osama, talk about the toxic culture of Alec Station and set the table for a petty slap fight with the FBI that ends with ~3,000 dead Americans. Pus Ben proposes a bold podcast exchange program with Two Mikes.

Join us next time for a brief interlude before we get to know Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda. In which Ben drives himself insane telling the story of a young American woman who just wanted to do her best working at a US Consulate in Jeddah.

Music by: Tristan Cappel
