49 - THE OCTOPUS 3: Danger Man
Added 2022-08-29 06:32:51 +0000 UTCDanny's pursuit of the Octopus brings him into contact with a geek burnout and spook fixer called Michael Riconosciuto. Riconosciuto is an operative of some kind (we think), and he has a lot to tell Danny about about software hacking, CIA ops, UFOs, bioweapons and gun deals in the desert. Casolaro is intoxicated, but following Rico's leads and trying to untangle truth and fantasy mires him even deeper in a bizarre underworld of rogue spies, gangsters and corrupt politicians. We also discuss the early spread of the stolen PROMIS software and consider how it might have been bugged and what its utility might have been.

Listening to this after the Mossad’s recent “shenanigans” with pagers and handheld radios, it makes the idea of supply chain interception and tampering seem all the more plausible in terms of bugged hardware.
