Oh, hello people in podcast land, welcome back to the show.

My guest today is Jeremy McDermott, he's an investigative reporter and the director of

Insight Crime, we are talking about how you hunt an invisible drug lord.

Modern drug lords in South America learned that anonymity is a better defence than a well-armed

militia.

Jeremy has spent the last decade of his life chasing one of the most notorious members

of the Invisibles, memo phantasma, otherwise known as the Ghost.

Today, I expect to learn how the vice president of Columbia was implicated in a drug lords

operations, how the ghost deleted his entire identity, why Jeremy turned up on a kingpins

doorstep in Madrid, why the DEA probably had memo on their payroll and much more.

This story is one of the most mental things that I've ever heard in my life, I can't believe

that it's not already a movie, that if you enjoy tales about organised crime and political,

back biting and financial institutions and corruption, this is so for you.

That just sit back and enjoy, you don't need to remember anything, there's no hacks

to take away, there's no self-development, it's just an awesome tale told by someone

with a beautiful British accent and a ton of experience.

If you enjoy the episode, the best thing that you can do is share it with a friend, the

only way that this show grows is from people like you, sharing it with people like you,

and if you do it, it makes me very happy, it was hard to find someone as interesting as

Jeremy, Jeremy, Jeremy.

It was hard to find someone whose name I could pronounce as badly as Jeremy's, so just

share it with a friend who made me very pleased.
