Summary

This week, Bob chats with Sam Walker, host of the #1 UK podcast, “American Vigilante.” Sam worked as a BBC journalist up until two years ago, when she and her family uprooted their lives in the UK and moved to Phoenix, AZ. The move led to the creation of Sam’s award-winning podcast, “Desert Diaries,” documenting the journey. Before Sam tells Bob about how she discovered the story that would become the subject of “American Vigilante,” the pair discuss Daylight Savings Time, what it’s like to move to a different country, and driving on the opposite side of the road. Sam then tells Bob about “KC,” an unknown individual who claims to be a US military veteran-turned-leader of a vigilante troupe. On “American Vigilante,” Sam shares her interviews with KC, where he tells stories of vigilante justice, wild beyond imagination, yet vividly told in detail, leaving it up to the listener to decide just what to believe.
