About the show

From the team at Encyclopedia Geopolitica, “How to get on a Watchlist” is a podcast about dangerous acts, organizations, and people. In each episode, we sit down with leading experts to discuss the risks they pose, and how to stop them. From assassinations and airliner shootdowns, through to kidnappings and coups, we’ll examine each of these threats through the lenses of both the dangerous actors behind them, and the agencies around the world seeking to stop them. In the interest of operational security and public safety, certain tactical details will be omitted from these discussions, however the cases and threats which we discuss are very real. If you like the show, don’t forget to subscribe on your podcast platform of choice. Please also consider supporting our work via a Patreon subscription (getting you access to early releases and other perks), or by tipping us on Ko-fi. While the topics we discuss here are often shrouded in secrecy and security classifications, we really hope you’ll tell your friends about us!
