Episode notes
In Part Four, we look at the paranoia, persecution, and lunacy of 20th-century Albanian life; a struggling president’s affection for booze and air hockey; and a legendary CIA spy’s plan to keep the nation from economic ruin.
The podcast series HATCHET MAN tells the tale of a little-known but extraordinary Albanian television series that aired in 1996 and ushered in social chaos and civil war.
