Hey, Mavi listeners, I wanted to share something special with you this week.

It's a preview of Deep Cover. Deep Cover tells true stories of crime and corruption.

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jake Halpern reveals dark underworlds most of us know nothing about.

The new season, Mobland, tells the true story of a high-rolling Chicago lawyer who fixed court cases for the mob.

He did this for years, until he decided to betray them and work for the FBI.

He wears a wire to expose a black market of corruption, where politicians were bought and justice was sold.

Where, for the right price, even murderers could walk free.

With first-hand interviews from FBI agents, mobsters, family members, and criminals,

the story is a truly wild journey into a world of corruption, murder, and deceit.

That's Bob. I've been interviewing him for the past year, mainly by Zoom.

But recently, I visited him in person. He lives in this small ranch house at the edge of

a vast desert, somewhere in the American Southwest. I can't tell you the name of the town
