About this episode

The episode discusses US and Mexican power dynamics, focusing on cartels, politics, and security issues with expert Janet.

Welcome to the premiere of Dispatch. Two nations, one shared border, and a complex history. On this show, we talk to the absolute experts in the field of everything from current event in politics and war. In this first episode of Dispatch, we talk to Janet, a security analyst and researcher with more than a decade of experience across Latin America, the Middle East, and North Africa. Her work has spanned field-based investigations and threat analysis in some of the world's most complex security environments. That ground-level access—to sources, institutions, and the infrastructure of violence and impunity—is exactly what her platform, Demoler, is built on. Janet founded Demoler to apply the sourcing discipline and analytical rigor of professional security analysis to independent crime reporting. In this episode, we explore the complex political and security issues in Mexico, including US involvement, cartel activities, and recent political crises.
