That free mobile game might be costing more than you think. Shane Hewitt and Dr. Lee Kuhnle reveal how intelligence agencies and tech companies use games like Angry Birds and other apps to collect personal data — not just from players, but from their networks and devices.
They discuss how surveillance, social media, and entertainment have quietly merged, creating a system where privacy is traded for convenience. The episode pulls back the curtain on how data harvesting really works and why understanding what’s collected — and by whom — matters more than ever.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
