After a few days worth of technical difficulties, I am finally able to post this. Sunday’s show was a ton of fun. I was able to welcome to the WRKO studio Conor Units, SVP for New Media and Public Affairs with Liberty Square Group, an influencial government affairs shop. Conor is another Massachusetts politico who I follow on Twitter (@conoryunits) but had never met in “real life”. It was great to have him on. Little did we know when we scheduled the appearance, the most wanted man in the world would be caught and we’d be talking more Whitey than politics.

Joining us was a true subject matter expert. Dick Lehr was a member of the Globe Spotlight team that did the groundbreaking reporting on Whitey Bulger in the late 80’s & early 90s. Dick did such a good job in fact, that a death threat was passed to him by none other than those helpful fellas in the FBI. Dick is co-author of an absolute MUST READ book on Bulger and the FBI, Black Mass: The True Story of an Unholy Alliance Between the FBI and the Irish Mob. Can’t stress how great this book is! It was an honor to have an expert like Dick join us on Pundit Review Radio.
