Trilogy Media Podcast
The hosts of the scam-busting YouTube channel Trilogy Media go behind the scenes of their stings, sharing unfiltered stories and operational details.
This is a companion podcast to the Trilogy Media YouTube channel, moving the action from the sting house to the studio. Hosts Ashton Bingham and Art Kulik debrief on their operations, sharing the messy logistics, ethical quandaries, and personal toll of confronting online predators and scammers. It's part war-story debrief, part tradecraft discussion with fellow creators, and part masterclass with experts from the worlds of cybersecurity and intelligence.
“Unlike many true crime shows that analyze past cases, this podcast is a real-time debrief from the people actively doing the work, blending high-stakes field stories with candid discussions about their operational headaches.”
