In this episode, host Wil Fulton meets and profiles two of Los Angeles’ preeminent Private Investigators. We dig into the gritty details of what a PI in the City of Angels does, and how they’re able to see the city (and its many, many, many secrets) through a lens that most overlook. Along the way, we’ll collect some of their recommendations on how to experience the classic “noir” L.A., inspired by legendary flashpoints like Chinatown and the Big Sleep, so you can experience their version of Los Angeles yourself. Featuring Barbara Wolford of Kinsey Investigations, and Bruce Robertson of TriStar Investigation.
