Before Sam tells Bob about how she discovered the story that would become the subject of “American Vigilante,” the pair discuss Daylight Savings Time, what it’s like to move to a different country, and driving on the opposite side of the road.

On “American Vigilante,” Sam shares her interviews with KC, where he tells stories of vigilante justice, wild beyond imagination, yet vividly told in detail, leaving it up to the listener to decide just what to believe.
