Shownotes
Disclosure, the podcast dedicated to revealing the government’s inner workings, is back for Season 2 in audio and video.
By law, nearly every move federal agencies make—every email, every memo, every receipt—belongs to the public. The key to gaining access is the Freedom of Information Act. In theory, FOIA obligates the government to open its files. But it also allows the government to hold back certain details, meaning that forcing transparency often requires a fight.
Join Bloomberg investigative reporter Jason Leopold and First Amendment attorney Matt Topic for a guided tour of explosive details, bureaucratic foibles and details that government officials never wanted you to know. Listen to new episodes of Disclosure, from Bloomberg & No Smiling, starting Oct. 15, wherever you get your podcasts.

They even conducted surveillance at the golf course.
Surveillance?
The answers are out there.
The trick is getting the government to share them.
Cue the music. I'm investigative journalist Jason Leopold. I spend most of my days getting documents from the government.
I'm attorney Matt Topic, and I fight them in court to open their files when they don't want to.
From Bloomberg and No Smiling, this is Disclosure, a podcast about prying those secrets loose and the unexpected places that takes us.
On the show, you'll hear revelations and absurdities. Bro asked CIA for porn.
Bin Laden's massive stash of pornography. Details powerful people never wanted you to know. The FBI prepared a call script asking for a consent search of Mar-a-Lago.
Your assistance would facilitate the proper retrieval and handling of these classified documents.
And sometimes impressions.
Fast times at Ridgemont High.
Well, yeah, it's my personal time in my mind.
