About this listen

 Hey, this is Scott and you’re listening to What Was That Like. And the name of the podcast, What Was That Like, was chosen very specifically – because that’s what I ask people who are guests on the show. They’ve just been through something really unusual, like being attacked by a monkey, or saving the life of a stranger, or some other crazy situation. And I ask them to tell all of us – what was that like. All the details. So that’s what we do here, every other Friday. But sometimes I like to find someone who has a really unusual job, and ask them the same question. Today I’m talking to Scott Payne. For many years, he worked for the FBI as an undercover agent. He would pretend to be a criminal, in order to join white supremacist groups or biker gangs – including the notorious Outlaws group. As you can imagine, this guy has some stories. I asked him lots of questions about this job, and then he answered a few questions from What Was That Like listeners. He’s an open book, and I learned some things, and I hope you do too. Please enjoy this conversation with undercover FBI agent, Scott Payne.

This story is frightening and compelling. I can't imagine the steely nerves this man has! His story is deeply fascinating. I can't imagine being in such different worlds and keeping them separate.

Fantastic.
