Our take on Dynamite Doug podcast

Dynamite Doug exposes the dark side of the art world. For five decades, Douglas Latchford, a renowned expert in Cambodian art, secretly collaborated with the Khmer Rouge to plunder the nation's cultural treasures. As the country was ravaged by war, Douglas and his influential accomplices, including a top curator from the Metropolitan Museum in New York, were trafficked in these stolen masterpieces. When a group of determined art detectives catches wind of the scheme, an intense battle ensues to bring the truth to light. This pod unravels this shocking, contemporary theft, deceit, and conspiracy story in 30-minute episodes. Dynamite Doug is a documentary podcast by Project Brazen.
