Podcast appearances and mentions of Jake Halpern

Deep Cover is a true crime podcast about people who lead double lives, from our friends at Pushkin Industries. The new season, The Truth About Sarah, reveals a story of stolen valor and misplaced heroism. Sarah Cavanaugh was many things to the people who knew her: a decorated veteran, a Marine who saved her comrades, a young woman fighting cancer. Sarah was everything people wanted her to be—until she wasn't. Turns out, no one knew the real Sarah. In Deep Cover: The Truth About Sarah, Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Jake Halpern and acclaimed investigative journalist Jess McHugh unravel an epic six-year deception that upended the lives of countless people. In this episode, a mysterious handwritten letter from Sarah asks: What do you think of my crime? Listen to Deep Cover every Monday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Here's an episode from another Pushkin Industries podcast that you may enjoy. Introducing Deep Cover: The Nameless Man. This season, host Jake Halpern tells the epic tale of two federal agents who investigate a rumor about a murder that supposedly took place 15 years prior. It is also the story of a family searching for answers about why their brother was killed. These two storylines collide in a courtroom in Philadelphia, where murder, memory, and morality go on trial.  Listen to Deep Cover wherever you find your podcasts.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jake Halpern joins Tim Harford to talk about the latest season of his Pushkin podcast Deep Cover: Never Seen Again. They discuss the dangers of incrementally increasing lies; how and why certain stories are escalated up the media "food chain"; and what it takes to lead a double life.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Some people are born for a certain vocation. Mozart, for music. Shakespeare, for drama. Steven Hawking, for physics, and...let's say...Machine Gun Kelly? for rap music. Vjeran Tomic was born for the steal—as comfortable scaling the side of a tightly-guarded museum as a leopard is, stalking through the jungle. He says he's in it for the love of art—a modern-day Robin Hood. But we seem to remember something about Robin Hood giving the money away…hmm.

In 1970s America, no city was arguable under more mafia control than Chicago. Murderers operated without fear of retribution. Getting an “innocent” verdict took nothing more than one bribe. Everyone got a cut of the action: policemen, aldermen, lawyers, cops, and judges. But it all came crashing down when a lawyer and fixer went undercover with the FBI to try to bring down one of the most powerful criminal syndicates in the country.Today's guest is Jake Halpern, host of the new podcast series Deep Cover: Mob Land, an investigative series that looks at Chicago's criminal underworld and those involved This story culminates with the prosecution of prominent mob figures and politicians with the entire operation resulting in more than two dozen arrests including cops, lawyers, judges, and more – forever damaging the mob's stranglehold on the windy city. The fallout is still playing out in Chicago courtrooms today.

Let's go back to 1970's Chicago when the mob ruled the courts. What could go wrong? I had an incredible conversation with the Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, Jake Halpern. Jake is the host of the new investigative podcast, Mob Land, which just dropped this week! The story centers around Bob Cooley - a mafia "fixer" turned FBI cooperator. Jake and I get into whether or not Bob can be trusted, what justice is or isn't — especially when corruption exists — and I think I stun Jake into silence with a Real Housewives analogy. Jake is an excellent storyteller making this a highly enjoyable conversation. Listen, enjoy, then go check out Mob Land!

The new season, Mob Land, 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 with 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 truly a wild journey into a world of corruption, murder and deceit. Today, we're sharing a preview of Episode 1.

Vjeran Tomic has been stealing since he was a small child, when he used a ladder to break into a library in his home town, in Bosnia. After moving to Paris, he graduated to lucrative apartment burglaries, living off the jewels he took and often doing time in prison. He became known in the French press as Spider-Man, and he began to steal art. Tomic has a grand sense of his calling as a burglar; he considers it his destiny and has described his robberies as acts of imagination. He eventually carried out a truly epic heist: a break-in at the Musée d'Art Moderne, in Paris, in which he left with seventy million dollars' worth of paintings. But selling these masterpieces proved harder than stealing them, and that's where Spider-Man's troubles began. The contributor Jake Halpern tells Vjeran Tomic's story; excerpts from Tomic's letters from prison are read by the actor Jean Brassard.     This segment was previously aired in 2019.

Jake Halpern is a prolific journalist, storyteller, and Pulitzer Prize-winning author. Ned Timmons is a former FBI agent who spearheaded investigations in the 1980s that led to the indictments of the world’s most dangerous drug smugglers. Together, they’ve collaborated on Deep Cover, a podcast detailing one of Ned’s undercover missions that unwittingly led to the U.S.’s invasion of Panama. In this compelling episode of Open Mike, Jake and Ned discuss the creative journey they underwent during production of Deep Cover, insights they’ve gleaned from each other along the way, and reasons that undercover assignments of this magnitude could never happen in the present day. Jake also reflects on ways his 2018 Pulitzer Prize has affected his life and career. Show Notes [0:08] Introducing today’s first guest, Jake Halpern [1:41] Jake’s background and epic, fantasy series Dormia [3:16] In addition to writing for dozens of publications, you teach at Morse University (no relation). How do you like being a professor? [4:33] You won the Pulitzer Prize in 2018 — what was that like? [7:34] When you say you wrote a graphic narrative, a “true comic” about a refugee family’s immigration experience… is it funny? [9:09] What is the book called? [10:10] Is it a strip? [13:31] Is winning a Pulitzer like winning an Academy Award? Since then, how has your career changed? [15:29] Your podcast Deep Cover with Ned Timmons is amazing. It hasn’t been out very long, but you have over two thousand five-star reviews. Do you know how many downloads you have?   [16:35] Ned’s background, time as an FBI agent, involvement in the overthrowing of Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega [18:29] How did you learn about Ned and what made you decide to collaborate on this podcast? [23:34] How long did Deep Cover take to investigate and record? [24:36] How many episodes is it? [25:08] Introducing Ned Timmons! Welcome back Ned.  How’d it feel to hear us talking about you for the last twenty minutes?  [25:42] Ned, how was the experience working with Jake for the last year-and-a-half? [28:33] Ned, when you were telling these stories, part of the shock factor is that you were a one-man operation, doing some amazing, dangerous work, making life-or-death decisions without supervision. [32:59] Why do you think this story is resonating with millions of people, right now? [34:46] Ned, what is it about you that kept you from being scared and paranoid, that allowed you to do this? [37:35] Jake, why do you think there are millions of downloads, what is resonating with people? [38:00] With COVID-19 and a divisive political climate, this story has mass nostalgic and escapist appeal [40:03] Ned, what is it about Jake’s story-telling that is so special? What did you learn from him? [44:57] Ned’s ex-wife witnessed him bringing burdens of work home with him; their marriage story is the most powerful element of the narrative [46:01] Jake, you also have a movie called Secrets of the Temple coming out; when is that being released? [47:43] Thank you for watching this episode of the Open Mike podcast!

Vjeran Tomic has been stealing since he was a small child, when he used a ladder to break into a library in his home town, in Bosnia. After moving to Paris, he graduated to lucrative apartment burglaries, living off the jewels he took and often doing time in prison. He became known in the French press as Spider-Man, and he began to steal art. Tomic has a grand sense of his calling as a burglar; he considers it his destiny and has described his robberies as acts of imagination. He eventually carried a truly epic heist: a break-in at the Musée d’Art Moderne, in Paris, in which he left with seventy million dollars’ worth of paintings. But selling these masterpieces proved harder than stealing them, and that’s where Spider-Man’s troubles began. The contributor Jake Halpern tells Vjeran Tomic’s story; excerpts from Tomic’s letters from prison are read by the actor Jean Brassard.

And since it's Eisner Awards season, Sean and Derek decided to discuss the nominees for this year's Best Webcomic category. As listeners may remember, last year the guys were quite critical of the Eisner Awards judges. While they finally took the long-overdue step in separating webcomics from digital comics, they nonetheless seemed to have no clear understanding of what defined a webcomic. They included webcomics in the Best Digital Comic category, and digital comics in the Best Webcomic category. This year, the judges seemed to have correctly understood the distinctions, although Sean and Derek still have questions as to the parameters and qualifications as to the choices and decision-making process. Then again, theirs may not be to wonder why, but to discuss critically the webcomics under consideration. And the guys have a fruitful discussion concerning this year's nominees: Awaiting a Wave, by Dale Carpenter and Nate Powell (The Weather Channel Digital) Brothers Bond, by Kevin Grevioux and Ryan Benjamin (Webtoons) Dispatch from a Sanctuary City, by Mike Dawson (The Nib) The Tea Dragon Society, by Katie O'Neill (Oni Press) Welcome to the New World, by Jake Halpern and Michael Sloan (New York Times Sunday Review)

Gentrification. Housing Bubbles. Developers & Their “Pay 2 Play” Campaign Donations (Bribes) to City Council Members. And then there's the needless cruelty of permanent homelessness. On this episode, Jesse & Matt ratchet-up their manifesto on their Mixtape for the Future by talking about the second-most important cornerstone of The Golden Square: namely, the universal right to human shelter. While a good deal of the debate and conversation will provide a clear-sighted and information-packed survey on the problems, causes and solutions involved with creating universal rights to housing, Matt & Jesse will also expand past common notions of shelter that often go unnoticed in the popular conversations found in daily rituals. And in doing so, the co-hosts hope to transcend the blind and abject observations from America's TV-Clown punditry on housing.

This place is run by Democrats and has been since forever. This has nothing to do with Republicans or Trump. We've got high-rise luxury condos sprouting up all over Downtown that no one actually lives in. Massive gleaming skyscrapers sitting there empty while more and more people are forced out of doors. This is a disaster. I've been to developing countries that have less people living on the streets than the second-largest city in the wealthiest country in the world. So here's a proposal: how about not another goddamn viral clip, or tweet or magazine cover or open letter or vacuous emission of another goddamn celebrity or late-night comedian or entertainment industry luminary talking about Trump or Russia or “backwards ignorant America that votes against its own self-interest” or cracking jokes about the racist, sexist rubes that live out in the sticks until this shit is fixed? Do you seriously think this shit is not racist and sexist? How about not getting to be in the 1%, or even the 10%, to drive past literal tent-encampments on your way to work, to step over the dispossessed just moments before they turn on your spotlight and soundcheck your mic, and have a goddamn thing you have to say about politics and society get listened to? How about not getting to publicly opine about national, much less geo-politics until you can figure out how your own city council works and you drag your camera crews to right outside your studio doors and show the world what's going on in America in 2017, in one of the "strongholds" of "the resistance"?

Jake Halpern, a contributor to This American Life, has written for The New Yorker and The New York Times Magazine. His latest book is Bad Paper: Chasing Debt from Wall Street to the Underworld. "I test out my stories on my kids. You should be able to tell any story, now matter how complicated, to a seven-year-old in a way that they understand. If you can't, that probably means that either a) you're telling the story wrong or b) it's not really a story." Thanks to TinyLetter and Bonobos for sponsoring this week's episode.
