On this week's Colombia Calling podcast, we speak to James Bargent, an investigative journalist for Insight Crime about his work putting together the new podcast: "the Shadow of El Dorado." Along with his colleague Mat Charles, the resulting podcast is a multi-year project which takes the listener into the world of organized crime and how the Gaitanista (Clan del Golfo or AGC) criminal organisation controls the mining economy and its subsidiary interests in the town of Segovia, Antioquia. Their search for Colombia's blood gold takes us to Segovia and the illegal mines at the very beginning of the global supply chain. But what they find there is a strange mirror world, where conventional narratives fall apart, and the names and labels they try to apply do not make sense.
