New Podcast Probes Alleged FBI Infiltration Of 2020 Racial Justice Protests

Debuts 2/7

A new investigative podcast from WESTERN SOUND and iHEARTPODCASTS examines how the FBI allegedly infiltrated racial justice protest groups with informants in an apparent effort to undermine the 2020 protests. "ALPHABET BOYS," a podcast debuting FEBRUARY 7th with a ten-episode first season, is hosted by TREVOR AARONSON, with the debut season using secret recordings to look at how a paid informant tried to push DENVER activists into violence.

“Federal law enforcement caused violence and destruction in the summer of 2020,” said DENVER activist ZEBBODIOS “ZEBB” HALL. “The FBI’s informant was a criminal who pushed activists toward violence as part of an attempt by the federal government to undermine our political movement from within.”

“The first season of ‘ALPHABET BOYS’ addresses an important question: How did the FBI respond to racial justice protests during the summer of 2020?” said AARONSON. “We answer that question through FBI internal records and undercover recordings, revealing that federal agents viewed these activists as ‘anti-government extremists’ and tried to set them up in violent crimes using an informant with a long history of violence and deception.”

“As with our No. 1 hits ‘LOST HILLS’ and ‘STRANGELAND,’ ‘ALPHABET BOYS’ is a deeply immersive narrative that takes listeners inside an important, untold story,” added WESTERN SOUND's BEN ADAIR. “With TREVOR’s groundbreaking reporting and unprecedented access to leaked audio, the podcast audience can experience this invasive, bizarre -- and potentially illegal -- undercover investigation from the inside.”
