Constantly demystifying the high seas, Rae Baker has become a trusted expert in uncovering hidden activity on the water.

She’s also the author of Deep Dive, the best book you can buy to kickstart your OSINT journey. It covers everything from the fundamentals of open-source intelligence and operational security to advanced topics like cryptocurrency tracking and critical infrastructure analysis. Here’s the full table of contents.

Today, Rae joins us to discuss her investigative process, her career in OSINT, and what it takes to track global maritime activity.

From pinpointing where Israeli airstrikes have landed in Gaza and Beirut to analyzing Russian troop positions— our next guest has helped New York Times readers see through the fog of modern warfare with precision and clarity.

Most famously, our guest discovered the identity of the Air National Guard member who was leaking national secrets, the biggest such leak since Edward Snowden. You can catch up on that 2023 story here.

Today, we’re joined by Aric Toler of the New York Times Visual Investigations team. Spend some time poring through his long list of bylines and investigations, or follow along to hear Aric discuss them himself.

For the first episode of our brand new season, we have the one and only Jordan Wildon. If you’ve seen Telegram in the news recently, or read the excellent OSINT-aided New York Times investigation, How Telegram Became a Playground for Criminals, Extremists, and Terrorists, you’ll understand why Jordan is the perfect guest to kick things off.
