We'll be the first to admit that the Most Useful Podcast Ever doesn't pursue a lot of hard-hitting journalism, but that's ok, because this week's guest, Elaine Shannon, certainly does. She came upon the story of criminal mastermind Paul Leroux while tracking the drug trade in Afghanistan, and eventually wrote a book—Hunting LeRoux: The Inside Story of the DEA Takedown of a Criminal Genius and His Empire—with the help of the DEA agents who took him down (two of whom also joined us for this week's podcast). Also on this episode: Sinks and toilets, sawdust, and the Houston rodeo. 

HUNTING LEROUX: The Inside Story of the DEA Takedown of a Criminal Genius and His Empire (Morrow, 2/19/19, 9780062859136, $27.99), is the story of Paul LeRoux, a tech entrepreneur-turned-arms-merchant captured while creating an “Everything Store” to serve rogue nations, warlords, insurgencies, transnational organized crime, and anyone with money. LeRoux’s business empire, spanning every continent but Antarctica, is a journey into a vast underground that most people don't know exists and that is driving wars and terrorism. It is being made into a major motion picture by the famed writer-director-producer Michael Mann.
