A crossover episode with Alex Solorzano, host of Lurking in the Fog, a podcast about crime! I love her description of the podcast: The podcast in which we dive deep into the crimes and evils that inhabits the world we live in. Our goal is to showcase how crime affects businesses day-to-day operations. From something as simple as accidentally setting up a factory in the wrong neighborhood and having to deal with criminal groups, to ensuring the safety of employees and cargo to governments using state-actors to pressure, attack, and harm companies in order to get their desired bribe or kickback.
Why Lurking in the Fog? Simple: at its very essence, Crime operates in disguise. Rarely will it show its true colors in plain eyesight. Crime thrives in the grey. In situations where confusion and chaos are the norm, crime is king. As such, it Lurks in the Fog.
