True Crime When the Law Becomes a Weapon: Corporate Crime, Corruption, Betrayal & Survival Live from Moscow with Russian Author Igor Tsvetkov and Host Alex

What happens when the people who are supposed to enforce the law become part of the crime? When the law is no longer protecting you—but hunting you? We recap the biggest true-crime story out of Russia right now live from Moscow, Russia, with author of the TRUE CRIME REAL-WORLD thriller debut Lawyers Among Thieves: The Volga Trap Igor Tsvetkov. An authentic dive into Russia’s corporate warfare. From inside Russia, this brave PhD and lawyer reveals all, changing names to protect the innocent. Come spiral with us in this authentic dive into Russia’s corporate warfare world leaders do NOT want you to know about. ABOUT THE CRIME ILYA KROMOV, head lawyer at a struggling defense plant on the Volga, has spent years playing the game—giving bribes, cutting corners, keeping the raiders at bay. He’s no hero. He’s just better at the game than most.But when police ambush him at a meeting with a bank representative, Ilya realizes he’s been outplayed. The ambush was a setup. And the man pulling the strings has already seized the plant’s subsidiary and is now coming for the rest.Fired, disgraced, and abandoned by a wife who suspects him of worse than he’s willing to admit, Ilya has nothing left but his legal skills and a corrosive pride. He joins forces with a shadowy Moscow firm staffed by ex-KGB operatives—not because he trusts them, but because in a city where courts are bought and officials have prices, they’re the only allies left.Set against the haunting industrial landscape of Ulyanovsk—where Soviet ghosts watch from crumbling monuments, Orthodox domes rise beside Tatar mosques, and the Volga wind carries whispers of betrayal—this is not just a legal thriller. It’s a story of survival in a world where the law is just another weapon and no one walks away.

Season 3

When the battlefield follows you home Marine Tobin & Jake He Survived War Coming Home Was the Hardest Battle: A Retired Veteran’s Story of PTSD and his service dog, author Tobin **They Trained Him to Kill and Survive War. No One Trained Him to Come.

When the battlefield follows you home with Tobin and Jake He Survived War Coming Home Was the Hardest Battle: A Retired Veteran’s Story of PTSD and his service dog, author Tobin **They Trained Him to Kill and Survive War. No One Trained Him to Come. Encore of the inaugural episode that started it all, taking this podcast from one listener to one million in less than a year. With listeners in over 60 countries and 250 cities in the USA. Jake and Tobin. One person. One dog. One hell of a story. It took the podcast The Naughty Librarian from one listener to one million. Average age of marine corps in America is 23. "We're kids" says Jake, medically retired after a tragic bomb incident where his fellow marines were scattered to pieces. The norms are kill. It makes Crime Junkies look like Mother Teresa feeding orphans. Neutralizing 'a thousand' targets? Or more? A common reality for USA service members once the military is done with them. It teaches them how to kill. It doesn't tell them how to survive after. In this raw, unfiltered conversation, Jake opens up about PTSD, military trauma, mental health, service, recovery, and the invisible wounds that can follow a person long after the fighting is over. They Trained Him to Survive War. No One Trained Him to Come Home. What War Teaches You About Life, Leadership & Sacrifice Behind the Battle: Courage, Sacrifice, Leadership & Survival The Cost of Courage: War, Sacrifice & the Human Spirit What It Really Takes to Survive, Lead & Keep Going War, Life & Everything They Don’t Tell You Courage Under Fire: Lessons in Leadership, Sacrifice & Survival Tobin is a PTSD service dog, companion, protector, and a huge part of Jake’s journey back toward a normal life. This conversation gets into the stuff people don't always want to talk about — trauma, anxiety, isolation, mental health, memories, healing, resilience, veterans, military life, coming home, and what happens when the battle follows you into everyday life. It’s also a conversation about the insane bond between a human being and a service dog, and how animals can sometimes reach people in ways that other people simply can't. Jake's story is at the center of My Service Person, a book told from Tobin's perspective that explores PTSD, traumatic experiences, the internal struggles of service members, mental health, and finding joy again after trauma. This is about what happens after the uniform comes off. WE TALK ABOUT: PTSD • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder • military PTSD • veterans • veteran mental health • military service • combat trauma • trauma recovery • mental health • anxiety • depression • emotional trauma • service dogs • PTSD service dogs • veterans and service dogs • military veterans • coming home from war • invisible wounds • healing from trauma • resilience • recovery • loneliness • isolation • courage • brotherhood • companionship • human-animal bond • mental health awareness • veteran stories • military stories • service member trauma • life after military service If you’ve ever wondered what PTSD actually looks like behind closed doors, what it means to come home from military service, or how a service dog can change someone's life, this conversation is worth hearing. Jake and Tobin. One person. One dog. One hell of a story. It took the podcast The Naughty Librarian from one listener to one million in less than a year. Hear why in this encore episode with additional content you won't get anywhere else. (c) Alex J. Loudon. All Rights Reserved.

Leo Fender took notice of John’s work, and asked him to consult with him on design and implementation of the Musicman Stingray and Sabre guitars and basses. Upon Leo Fender’s death, John was given the honor to make a limited 600-count run of bodies of the Leo Fender Commemorative Guitar Model for G&L. During the same time period, John also worked for Ibanez and helped them design and improve many of their guitars including the Joe Pass model, and the Artist Series guitars and basses. With these notable accomplishments, John quickly moved to a larger shop in Santa Monica. After a few years, he bought his historic shop in Venice Beach, CA, where he remained for 30 years. John was approached in the early 90’s by Mr. Hisatake Shibuya, the owner of Musician’s Institute, to establish the Guitar Craft program. The Guitar Craft program has continued to grow in popularity every year. It has been rewarding for John to see many of M.I.’s GCA graduates continue on to perform important work in the music industry. Carruthers Guitars begain in historic Venice where he manufactures world-renowned guitars and basses. The Naughty Librarian podcast has over a million listeners worldwide.
