Published: Aug. 6, 2014, 5:39 p.m.

Adam Higginbotham has written for Businessweek, Wired and The New Yorker. His latest story is A Thousand Pounds of Dynamite, for The Atavist.\n\n"There's always a narrative in a crime story. Something has always gone wrong. These guys are always in prison, because they all fucked something up or trusted the wrong person. They always get caught in the end. Because if they hadn't, you wouldn't be reading about it."\n\nThanks to TinyLetter for sponsoring this week's episode.\n\nShow Notes:\n@HigginbothamA\nadamhigginbotham.com\nHigginbotham on Longform\n[2:13] A Thousand Pounds of Dynamite (The Atavist \u2022 Jul 2014)\n[26:16] The Face\n[28:14] Richard Branson Turns 50 (Independent on Sunday Review \u2022 Jul 2000)\n[32:51] The Inkjet Counterfeiter (Wired (UK) \u2022 Oct 2009)\n[40:48] The Gangster Prince of Liberia (Details \u2022 Nov 2007)\n[41:30] The Last Days of the Lipstick Killer (GQ \u2022 May 2008)\n[41:39] The Green River Killer (Sunday Telegraph \u2022 May 2004) [pdf]\n[46:18] Life at the Top (The New Yorker \u2022 Feb 2013)\nLearn more about your ad choices.
