The Journey 179. Linda Minor, Dan Luzadder, and Peter Grant. Corruption Oh My!

In this episode (Here), Kris Millegan and Adam Finnegan speak with Linda Minor, Dan Luzadder, and Peter Grant about Corruption in American politics, the mob and the mafia, drug trafficking, and beyond, we discuss it all! Feel free to also watch it on YouTube.

Peter Grant is a writer and independent researcher specializing in open source intelligence with a special focus on history and politics in Russia and the former Soviet Union, global kleptocracy and corruption, Eurasian organized crime and the activities of Russia’s intelligence services. In particular, I focus on the interplay between these issues and American politics.

Dan Luzadder is an American journalist and author whose lengthy newspaper career began as a teenaged police reporter in the last days of linotypes. He came of age amid hagiographic newsroom characters who believed shoe leather reporting, tight deadlines and well-placed sources were journalism’s divinity. He has written for the New York Daily News and the New York Times, shared a Pulitzer Prize (1983) for general local reporting, won a national public service award from the American Bar Association for exposing corruption in federal courts, and is a member of the Scripps Howard Journalism Hall of Fame. He resides with his wife, Nancy, in the Pacific Northwest. He is the author of The Manchurian Journalist: Lawrence Wright, the CIA and the Corruption of American Journalism. (Trine Day). He is currently at work on a book and investigative documentary series on a cold-case crime spree in Speedway, Indiana in 1978, and is completing a book exploring the American myth of Al Capone.

Linda Minor is a retired attorney, formerly licensed in Texas, whose legal specialty was real property law and land titles. She has a second career as a Blogger and researcher for Daniel Hopsicker and other published authors. She lives near Austin TX with her British born husband and two cats.
