Sam hosts the 12-episode series where she interviews KC — a U.S. military veteran turned American Vigilante — as he shares elaborate stories about his time over the last 20 years as a real life vigilante for hire — everything from saving abducted children, rescue missions and more. KC is a hugely complex, intelligent, contradictory man who stands on the blurred line between right and wrong, between revenge and redemption, and Sam lets Jess and Jess in a bit behind the scenes on her over 50 hours of interviews with this man she has never met, and really can't see.While this episode centers around Sam's podcast, the real theme is pondering the fascination almost EVERY woman has with true crime stories.

Imagine boarding a flight thinking you're heading on holiday, but instead you get taken hostage by Saddam Hussein. It might sound far-fetched, but in August 1990 this really happened to the passengers and crew of BA Flight 149. What followed has been dubbed the most shocking government cover-up of the last thirty years. Journalist Stephen Davis has been reporting on this extraordinary story for the past three decades. In this series you'll hear directly from the hostages - the people used as human shields by the Iraqi regime, with horrific and traumatic consequences. But why was the plane allowed to land at all, putting so many lives at risk? Why have secrets and lies persisted for so many years? Join Stephen in his search to uncover the truth behind The Secret History of Flight 149. From Crowd Network, the team behind American Vigilante

Content warning: Today's episode deals with kidnapping and abuse of minors and has some harsh language in one part. Please listen with care.Today's big question: Is it ever ok to do the wrong thing, for the right reason? We're talking about vigilantes on the show today. My guest, Sam Walker, is a multi-award winning journalist, broadcaster and podcaster. Her show, American Vigilante, is about a man named KC. KC is the American Vigilante. A hugely complex, intelligent, contradictory man who could save your life but end it too. He leads a group of violent men standing on the blurred line between right and wrong, between revenge and redemption. A man you want on your side when it all falls apart. American Vigilante is true crime, but so much more. It's saving abducted children, it's stepping beyond the law. It's rescue missions, assassination attempts and last-gasp protection. It's all the stuff you hope never comes to you, until it does.

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.

No rational podcaster likes spending money needlessly. But every day, podcasters make choices on and around their shows without understanding the underlying costs to their podcast or themselves. Mentioning products or services on your podcast has value. But each mention also has a cost. A cost you pay with your reputation. With advertising or sponsorships, there's a risk listeners will react negatively. To offset the cost of that risk, podcasters charge money.  But what about the not-compensated mentions podcasters make every day? Yes, those too come at a cost. That listener support service you mention on every episode? That costs you, so it's important the service you chose works really, really well & provides a smooth customer experience.  The links you share to get people to listen? That costs you. Are you sure everyone has a great post-click experience?  And you can blame your hosting provider for their shortcomings all you want, but your listeners will lay the blame surely at your feet. You made the choice. You incur the cost.  That guest appearance on another podcast. Is it worth the cost to mention it, if it wasn't all that great?  That speaking engagement you said yes to. How sure are you of the reputation and credibility of the event itself? What will it cost you to mention it? Don't think I'm telling you to stop mentioning things. That's sill. Just be sure you understand that everything you mention comes with a cost. Like it or not, you're making a tacit endorsement with each mention. So make sure it's worth it. ----- Boostagram Corner!  Someone used Breez to send me a boost. Dunno who.

Why do race riots occur and are they effective? This is part one of an examination of the history of American race riots to find out. 01:35 - I begin with a discussion of vigilantism with my college friend Jahne. We both took a class called The American Vigilante and understanding vigilantism is a helpful tool for understanding riots. 04:39 - The Pre-Civil War Era. Looking back to Force and Freedom, (ep. 3) I look at how Black-initiated riots accelerated social change. 08:13 - The Civil War, because, yes, people were rioting and attacking Black people in the middle of it. This slowed social change as the government worked to keep Black people from migrating North. 11:31 - Reconstruction, the worst of the riots. Southerners wanted to deny the results of the Civil War so, in both rural and urban communities, Black people attempting to organize or assert themselves met with riots. Though Republicans got more radical in pushing Reconstruction, they ultimately gave up and social change was thwarted. Leroy Johnson's story is really interesting, read up on him here (https://www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/articles/history-archaeology/leroy-johnson-1928-2019 (https://www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/articles/history-archaeology/leroy-johnson-1928-2019)) 16:33 - White Terror and lynching. Attacks on 'uppity' behavior from Black people as a means to keep them down. In response, many left the South in the First Great Migration.
