Alphabet Boys

Alphabet Boys reveals the secret investigations of the FBI, DEA, ATF, and other alphabet agencies. Hosted by journalist Trevor Aaronson, Alphabet Boys exposes secret undercover recordings that the government never wanted the public to hear. We explore cases that are both dangerous and absurd in order to ask this question: Are America’s top cops catching criminals -- or creating them? Season two is “Up In Arms.” An international weapons deal to arm rebels in Colombia tangles up the DEA, the CIA, and the FBI in the same case. But who’s the good guy? And who’s the bad guy? This spy story is not at all what it seems. Alphabet Boys is a production of Western Sound.

Entertaining from the start. Excellent research, some of the best I’ve heard. Very good production. Fun, flows and written well. Can’t wait for season 3 and beyond!!!! Thank you!….now, I need to check out their website for the documents they managed to obtain, no thx to the three letter agencies I surmise.
A Must to listen to.

Great work all around. You guys told a very compelling and important story, my only gripe is the terrible ads but you gotta do what you gotta do!

The first season was great, until the end. Why would you not cast the same critical eye upon fbi hijinks when they are perpetrated against “right wing extremism”? The terror factory narrative is fantastic, the problem is leftists act as if it’s only them who get the cointelpro treatment. Please remain consistent!

Amazing investigative journalism! We need this on Netflix
The Most Important Journalism of the Year
10/04/2023
Aaronson does a masterful job of laying out the case against the FBI - and it is a truly damning case - giving the listener a deep sense of how much backsliding on racial justice the FBI has undergone. Why did the FBI completely miss the imminent threat of white supremacist violence that culminated in the attacks on January 6th? Aaronson clearly shows how the FBI was too busy trying to entrap members of the racial justice movement to see that the real problem is white nationalism. This cannot be ignored, most of all because we cannot afford to have another generation of racial justice activists subverted, abused, and killed by federal law enforcement.
Too Many Adds
12/27/2023
Overall, interesting journalism and it is seemingly well produced, but I can’t get past the ~10 minutes of adds per 30 minute episode.
Misinformation
12/06/2023
They clearly don’t do actual research. Many of these episodes are told from information read on mainstream media outlets. We know how accurate those are. Add the shear numbers of annoying ads, and this is a shoddy podcast. Don’t waste your time.
Too many ad breaks
11/12/2023
I’ll give it five stars but there’s just way too many rates I think the show is really only 15 minutes of actually actually telling a story. Season 1 was good season 2 is silly
Good but…
