Host Richard Syrett, alongside guests Kris Millegan and Linda Minor, rips the veil off the late Daniel Hopsicker’s jaw-dropping masterpiece, Gangster Planet. This isn’t your average crime story—it’s a meticulously documented exposé that unveils the chilling truth: organized crime isn’t just surviving in our high-tech world; it’s thriving, thanks to a sinister pact between polished white-collar crooks and ruthless drug lords. From the boardrooms of public corporations laundering dirty money to Hollywood blockbusters born from the drug trade’s dark underbelly, this conversation will leave you stunned, questioning the very fabric of power and justice. Expect shocking revelations, unsettling truths, and a rabbit hole so deep you’ll never see the world the same way again. This is The Hidden Hand Unraveled—and it’s hiding in plain sight. GUEST: Kris Millegan is a fearless truth-seeker, publisher, and researcher with a knack for uncovering the stories the mainstream won’t touch. As the founder of TrineDay Press, he’s brought groundbreaking works like Gangster Planet to light, championing authors who dare to expose the unseen forces shaping our world. With decades of experience digging into the intersections of power, conspiracy, and corruption, Kris offers a sharp, no-nonsense perspective that cuts through the noise. A veteran of the counterculture and a relentless advocate for transparency, he’s here to connect the dots between crime, corporations, and the systems we’re told to trust. GUEST: Linda Minor is a tenacious investigative historian and writer whose deep dives into financial corruption and organized crime have earned her a reputation as a relentless sleuth. A collaborator with Daniel Hopsicker, she brings an encyclopedic knowledge of the shadowy networks that bind white-collar elites to the underworld. With a background in law and a passion for exposing the hidden machinations of power, Linda’s insights are as razor-sharp as they are unsettling. Her work peels back the layers of modern crime, revealing how money, influence, and deception intertwine on a global scale.
