Interview with the late John McAfee, a British-American computer programmer, businessman, and two-time presidential candidate. In 1987, he wrote the first commercial anti-virus software that bears his name to this day.But McAfee was also a fugitive of the US for years.  In June, 2021, he was found dead in a jail cell in Spain soon after being scheduled for expedition to the US for charges of tax evasion.  Authorities ruled it a suicide.

Prior to his death, McAfee stated that he was not suicidal, and that he was concerned he might be murdered and that his death would be made to appear a suicide.

This was an episode that we thought had been lost to us.  We recorded this with him in January, 2020 but originally stalled in publishing this because of the incendiary nature of the topics and (truthfully) of the man himself.  Then, of course, COVID hit.

We somehow lost the video of this interview, but recently stumbled again on the audio.  Since we were a show that did not shy away from hard conversations, we figured there was no better send-off for our show than this episode.  

As we say in our intro, "We're here to set some shit on fire". Hit play and strike the match!

Thanks for listening. Love you, mean it!
