Comments
Couldnt comment on the relevant episode because they’re on SoundCloud, but just thought I’d share: listened to the Contra episode that mentioned the episode of The Montel Williams Show were he exposed Iran-Contra and agreed with you guys about how surprisingly thorough his coverage was for a shlocky daytime talk show. Later that day, I decided to look more into his military background and found out that he was a Lieutenant Colonel with the Marines who then went on to work for Naval Intelligence in Guam and then went to work as an NSA cryptologist who was involved in the invasion or Grenada & was stationed at Fort Meade.
