EP. 10: RANDALL SULLIVAN INTERVIEW PT. 1
Listen now
Description
In 2002, Randall Sullivan decided to publish LAbyrinth, what I consider the best piece of journalism ever written about the LAPD cover up of the murder of Biggie.  I can still vividly remember reading the book and realizing that I too wanted to become a reporter, an investigator, a writer. In some ways, you can make a case that Randall’s work inspired me and was a pivotal moment in my life. To imagine that almost 20 years later that I would become Randall’s friend and co-worker is staggering to think about. He remains a hero, and he remains a beacon of intense reporting and writing.  I will never be able to write as eloquently as Randall, but I will say my investigative skills have improved. It’s hard to believe that I would end up an Executive Producer of City of Lies, which was based on LAbyrinth. A full circle moment, to be sure. For Season 2 of The Dossier, I felt the need to go back to Randall, have a conversation and get some insight.  Here’s Part 1 of my interview with Randall Sullivan. The Dossier II: The Secret Biggie FBI Files is a production of Criminal Minded Media, Action Park Media and DCP Entertainment. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
