SPEAK.STUDIO UNVEILS “IRS CI” — A HIGH-OCTANE TRUE CRIME PODCAST HOSTED BY AWARD-WINNING MATT BOATRIGHT-SIMON
Los Angeles — April 9, 2025 — Election interference. Al Qaeda. Drug cartels. Mafia hits. Cyber warfare. Human trafficking. These aren’t just headlines — they’re massive, well-funded criminal empires. And there’s one agency quietly dismantling them from the inside out: IRS Criminal Investigation.
On April 15, National Tax Day, SPEAK.STUDIO premieres IRS CI The Podcast, the newest SPEAK.STUDIO Original. The boundary-pushing series takes listeners on a wild, adrenaline-laced journey into the true crime stories no one saw coming — hosted and produced by award-winning storyteller Matt Boatright-Simon.
Forget what you thought you knew about the IRS. These aren’t desk jockeys with calculators. They’re elite agents working deep undercover, executing international stings, and taking down the financial empires behind the world’s most dangerous operations.
Every episode of IRS CI follows the money — and exposes the greed, power, and chaos it fuels. From dark web cybercriminals and cartel accountants to global corruption rings, this series peels back the curtain on the real-life financial warfare being waged behind the scenes.
“The stories you’re about to hear are real — and they’re wilder than fiction,” says host Matt Boatright-Simon. “IRS CI agents are operating in the shadows of global crime, and this podcast brings you inside their world, where one wire transfer can topple an empire.”
Featuring firsthand accounts from the agents themselves, never-before-heard case files, and a cinematic storytelling style, IRS CI is true crime like you’ve never heard it before.
Premiering May 2025, exclusively from SPEAK.STUDIO, and available on all major podcast platforms.
