214: Scott was an undercover FBI agent
Hey, this is Scott and you’re listening to What Was That
Like.
And the name of the podcast, What Was That Like, was chosen
very specifically – because that’s what I ask people who are guests on the
show. They’ve just been through something really unusual, like being attacked
by a monkey, or saving the life of a stranger, or some other crazy situation.
And I ask them to tell all of us – what was that like. All the details. So
that’s what we do here, every other Friday.
But sometimes I like to find someone who has a really
unusual job, and ask them the same question.
Today I’m talking to Scott Payne. For many years, he worked
for the FBI as an undercover agent. He would pretend to be a criminal, in order
to join white supremacist groups or biker gangs – including the notorious
Outlaws group. As you can imagine, this guy has some stories.
I asked him lots of questions about this job, and then he
answered a few questions from What Was That Like listeners. He’s an open book,
and I learned some things, and I hope you do too. Please enjoy this
conversation with undercover FBI agent, Scott Payne.
