Powerful painkillers can often dispatch acute pain, but using them for chronic, persistent pain carries the risk of addiction. Nearly two million Americans have a substance abuse disorder stemming from prescribed opioids. So scientists are researching ways to treat pain without drugs. We talk with journalist Yudhijit Bhattacharjee who wrote about them in The National Geographic. And we talk with University of Maryland professor Luana Colloca featured in the article. Her research shows that people experiencing pain and those who aren’t respond similarly to placebos … with very positive effects.

In this episode Samir Kalra speaks with award-winning author Yudhijit Bhatacharjee about the rise of Jaish-e-Mohammed founder Masood Azhar, and the role of Pakistan-sponsored terrorism in the Kashmir conflict.

SPY Historian Vince Houghton sat down with author and journalist Yudhijit Bhattacharjee to discuss the fascinating case of wannabee spy Brian Regan, detailed in Yudhijit’s book The Spy Who Couldn’t Spell: A Dyslexic Traitor, an Unbreakable Code, and the FBI’s Hunt for America’s Stolen Secrets.

Recently, author and journalist Yudhijit Bhattacharjee, visited NGA's Springfield, Virginia, campus and told the story of Brian Regan, a former signals intelligence officer who stole over 20,000 pieces of classified information. Regan's story is anything but typical. He was able to elude and stump and authorities long after he was caught due to nearly unbreakable cryptological code he developed. This is not just a story of code breaking and espionage, but also the human side of Regan.

Before Edward Snowden’s infamous data breach, the largest theft of government secrets was committed by a U.S. Air Force sergeant whose espionage scheme and complex system of coded messages were made even more baffling by his dyslexia. Journalist Yudhijit Bhattacharjee joins The Steve Fast Show to talk about Brian Patrick Regan, the traitor who came to be known as The Spy Who Couldn’t Spell.
