Toby Muse

Listen to "Toby Muse Releases The Book Kilo" on Spreaker. Veteran journalist Toby Muse has witnessed up close each level of the cocaine underworld, fueled by the appetite for cocaine in America and Europe. In KILO: INSIDE THE DEADLIEST COCAINE CARTELS—FROM THE JUNGLES TO THE STREETS (on sale: March 24, 2020), he takes the reader inside Colombia’s notorious drug cartels to offer a never before look at the drug trade. Following a kilo of cocaine from its production in a clandestine laboratory to the smugglers who ship it abroad, he reveals the human lives behind the drug’s complicated legacy. With a 16 page insert of exclusive photos, KILO is particularly timely as the world, and the United States, struggles with a record harvest of cocaine that has resulted in purer drugs and led to a spike in overdoses. Reporting on Colombia for the world’s most prestigious networks and publications, Muse gained unprecedented access to the extraordinary people who survive on the drug trade—farmers, smugglers, assassins—and the drug lords and their lovers controlling these multi-billion dollar enterprises. He also spent weeks with the US Coast Guard as they tried to stem the flow of drugs, seizing tons of cocaine on the vast Pacific Ocean. Uncovering stories of violence, sex, and money, he shows the allure and the madness of cocaine. And how the War on Drugs has been no match for cocaine. Piercing this veiled world, KILO is a gripping portrait of a country struggling to end this deadly trade even as the riches flow. A human portrait of criminals and the shocking details of their lives, this is a chilling, unforgettable story that takes you deep into the belly of the beast.

In season 2 of A&E’s Ghost Hunters, the team heads into uncharted territory to be the first to investigate reports of paranormal phenomena in some of the nation’s most remote locations. Their journey takes them to isolated, distant corners of the United States where they confront extreme conditions and desolate terrain. The team seeks out forgotten worlds where darkness and death plague residents who have been forced to live with the unknown. Despite mysterious and unnerving warnings from locals, the Ghost Hunters face their fears and stay on mission: to help people confront terrifying paranormal encounters that have shaken them to their core. In doing so, they capture their most compelling, persuasive evidence in over a decade. New episodes of Ghost Hunters will air Wednesdays at 9pm ET/PT following the two episode premiere on April 8 beginning at 8pm ET/PT. Mustafa Gatollari is the paranormal historian and site analyst of the Ghost Hunters team. For the last 10 years, he has investigated alongside his New Jersey-based team, emphasizing the value of sincerity and legitimacy in his hunts. Mustafa has more than 80 investigations under his belt. Although his focus is investigating private homes and helping ordinary people, he has also delved into everything from abandoned factories and shopping centers to a parking garage in Eastern Europe that had been built over a mass gravesite. As a writer, Mustafa likes to approach an investigation the way an investigative journalist might approach a story – he not only enjoys conducting interviews with witnesses and digging into a property’s public records, but he’s also skilled in uncovering information quickly, which is an asset in any investigation under a tight schedule. Brandon Alvis is the paranormal technician of the Ghost Huntersteam. His twin passions for history and the paranormal led him to establish the American Paranormal Research Association (APRA). Brandon has investigated some 200 public and private locations with APRA, many of which bear historical significance. Investigations have included mental hospitals, prisons, well-known murder sites, cemeteries, and private homes, as well as more famous sites like Alcatraz Island, Preston Castle, and the South Pittsburgh Hospital. As a natural skeptic, Brandon researches every location meticulously before he begins collecting evidence in an effort to make the study of the paranormal as credible as possible.

The Big Gamble

Listen to "The Big Gamble" on Spreaker. At a time when so many can find reason to communicate, the decision to dislocate strong connections remains stable in their hearts. Somewhere along the path the idea of distancing was being practiced long before the Coronavirus. I wrote about "Ghosting" a lot in 2018 and 19. It was accepted because it was the internet and nobody's really true friends. If you are, then there's more to life than a web page. On this podcast I put focus on how short the lifespan was when it came to bringing compassion and understanding forward. As things begin to slowly open across the nation its physically visible on how we're evolving back into a mine mine view of the new expected. How are your relationships at work? Most of us are doing it from home via Zoom and other digital outlets. The question again. How are your relationships? There are no high fives or you rocks. There's no quick runs for fast food or a hot coffee from Starbucks. The coldest part of the journey is set to hit. We see things opening but we still don't have a hair stylist, nail salon, movie theater and dinner for two at Applebes. Why then are we dislocating from our reasons to communicate? A thought fell from my writing instrument this morning. An ancient lesson I've held close for many years. The strong suffer alone. Surviving through the dark. A prisoner of their own mind. As we grow more confident on this Coronavirus walk our strength will have its way. As will the silences we'll personally face. I didn't make up the statement. Its been lived by millions before us and long after. The strong suffer alone. Surviving through the dark. A prisoner of their own mind. We'll never know of your struggles unless you talk about it. Therefore we ask of you. Don't "Ghost" yourself.
