We're so excited to be here. The Lazarus Highs is an amazing podcast.

I started listening to Lazarus Highs when it was first coming out during quarantine and

recently I began showing it to my mom so when I found out there was a live event in New

York City I found it incredibly exciting.

It's the most fascinating story I have heard in so long.

I can't wait to see what a live podcast is like. I've never been to one and I was totally

intrigued by the Lazarus Highs when I began listening to it in a binge fashion this week.

So I'm all caught up.

What's up New York?

Thank you so much for being part of our live experience.

Welcome to the Lazarus Highs recorded live in New York.

We are gathered here today in an intimate room with Florida ceiling windows looking out

on the pedestrian traffic of downtown Manhattan.

My name is Dessa. I'm a musician and a writer and I host my own podcast called Deeply Human.

And those of you who are already fans of the show know that the Lazarus Highs chronicles

the story of an epic bank robbery essentially where North Korean hackers try to spirit away

a billion dollars from a Bangladeshi bank.

And the officials meanwhile in Pyongyang the capital of North Korea say this never happened.

But as the hosts of the show follow the money the listeners of the show are introduced

to an increasingly intricate like spider web of mysteries.

We hear about how the story runs through the underground gangster world of the Yakuza

in Japan.
