Welcome to Pittman and Friends, the curiously probing, sometimes awkward, but always revealing conversations between your host, Anne Arundel County Executive Steuart Pittman - that’s me - and whatever brave and willing public servant, community leader, or elected official I can find who has something to say that you should hear.

This podcast is provided as a public service of Anne Arundel County Government, so don’t expect me to get all partisan here. This is about the age-old art of government - of, by, and for the people.

What drives a regular person to risk it all in the criminal underworld? On Wondery's Criminal Lives, host Danny Gold takes you inside the minds of some of America’s most successful black market entrepreneurs. From a larger-than-life steroids kingpin who dodged bullets on his way to the top, to the self described "Original Gay Gangster" who had a gift for numbers and an addiction to luxury, to a surfing smuggler who found zen in the Thai weed trade, each reveals the rules of the game, the adrenaline-fueled highs, and the missteps that brought it all crashing down. Forget what you've seen in the movies. Criminal Lives brings you the unvarnished truth of what it really means to choose a life of crime.

Crooks Everywhere exposes the plot to assassinate Daphne Caruana Galizia, a Maltese journalist who spent her life fighting for truth, justice, and decency in a country overrun by corruption.

Join investigative journalists Manuel Delia and John Sweeney as they uncover the mystery behind Daphne’s murder and amplify the discoveries the killers were trying to silence. Because of the extent of her investigations, Daphne had many enemies, but only now, seven years later, has the truth of her assassination come to light.

Listen and discover how Malta came to be a place where crime and politics merge, where murder became a commonplace currency, and where one woman sacrificed everything to speak the truth. 

Daphne’s fearless voice is brought to life by Sienna Miller, who reads extracts from this inimitable journalist.
