About this episode
The episode explores the mysterious circumstances surrounding the death of exiled Russian journalist Yevgeny Safranov.
Exiled Russian journalist Yevgeny Safranov is extremely stressed out. Inside his Paris apartment he paces up and down, furious that all his devices have been hacked. His phone, his government ID, his social media--everything. By who we don't know, as shortly after Safranov jumped out of his window onto the tarmac below. He died instantly. This is the official story, but there is of course something fishy going on... Jake Hanrahan's projects: www.hanrahan.tv See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
