And I'm Robert Quillwich.

And today on the podcast.

Hey, Robert, can you scoot back a little bit from the mic?

I think I'm worried.

We have a cloak and dagger maritime adventure in secrecy and truth from reporter Julia Barton.

So Jeff, maybe first you could start off just by introducing yourself.

Yeah, so the story for me begins with this guy.

Yeah, my name is Jeff Larson.

I'm the data editor at ProPublica.

ProPublica has this investigative journalism outfit, and Jeff does a lot of their... Data-based reporting.

So in any case, it was summer of 2013.

You know that big story about how the NSA had just been monitoring millions of Verizon customers?

Mm-hmm.

That just came out.

Jeff's watching the story like all of us are, and then the thought occurred to him, geez, they're monitoring all of these people.

Hey, does that include me?

So he goes over to the NSA's website.

He was surprised to find that right there on the site.

You could file a Privacy Act request for your metadata.

They have a little online form right there.
