The Sound of Pursuit
This is the official podcast of Pursuit Magazine, an online community of private investigators, journalists, and truth-seekers of all stripes. In the podcast, we explore information sources, share tradecraft tips, and discuss ways to integrate new technology with old-school gumshoe know-how. We dig into myths about PI work and hear hard-won lessons from the field. And for the spy-curious outsider, we offer a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the lives of real spies and PIs. We CAN handle the truth.

Spencer for Hire
As PIs, we all have our greatest hits—tales we tell over and over. Mike Spencer's craziest go-to story has all the elements: Paranoia. Porn. Aliases. Bodily fluids. You get the picture.
Pursuit editor Kim Green met Spencer, an ex-journo veteran Bay-Area investigator, in San Francisco’s Mission District in 2014. He kindly agreed to share a few tales from his “Best Of” list.
Host: Hal Humphreys
Music provided by Jason White (who composed our theme) and Headmint, “Music for Corporations.”
Special thanks to Mike Spencer, producer Kim Green, and engineer Simon Gugala.
