The press has been perhaps the most crucial third party for world happenings since, well, whenever the press was invented. While there is of course no shortage of fake news out there, the main goal of the press is to keep society honest, investigating everything from corrupt governments to those cute little cliques we like to call cults.\\xa0


Robert Gavin has been a news reporter for 28 years, having also worked for two years as an editor. Originally from Staten Island, Gavin began his career by covering the New York City police and fire departments, the NYS Capitol, State and Federal Courts, various murder trials, and cases involving terrorism, the mafia, street gangs, and political corruption. And eventually, Robert\\u2019s role in the NXIVM trials and their coverage would play a crucial part in bringing down Keith Raniere, which we\\u2019re sure you saw on HBO\\u2019s \\u201cThe Vow.\\u201d On today\\u2019s episode, we talk to Gavin about his time covering the cult, as well as the aftermath.\\xa0
