The Most Wanted Men
“You know, I once shared a bottle of absinthe with a Serbian arms dealer who swore The Blacklist was just a clever front for actual intelligence leaks. He was mostly wrong — but charmingly so.”
Welcome to The Most Wanted Men, a podcast devoted to peeling back the layers of intrigue, betrayal, and designer coats that make The Blacklist such a guilty pleasure. Join our hosts — two very opinionated amateurs with nothing better to do — as they explore the cases, conspiracies, and quirks of Raymond “Red” Reddington’s criminal concierge service of doom.
We’re not here to recap. No, no. We’re here to obsess, to question, to rant lovingly about overlooked plot points and the sheer audacity of a man who disappears into a monastery one week and drops acid in the Louvre the next.
Spoilers? Constant.
Accuracy? Occasional.
Charm? Relentless.
So pour a glass of something expensive, burn your aliases, and press play.
You’re on the list now.

The Courier (No.85) S1E5
Send an Encrypted Message to the Men
Ah, yes… Episode five. “The Courier.” An unassuming title, for a man capable of withstanding unspeakable pain. Quite literally—our courier doesn’t feel it. A genetic condition. Makes him rather good at his job… and a nightmare to interrogate.
You see, a package has gone missing—a man, actually. An Iranian hacker with access to classified intel. He’s being slowly suffocated in a buried glass coffin, left as collateral in a most unpleasant exchange. Time is short. Lizzie is, as usual, frustrated with my methods. I, of course, am patient. These things require finesse… and the occasional use of a cattle prod.
In the end, secrets are unearthed—not just in the desert, but between Lizzie and her shadowy husband. Always so many secrets, like layers of skin on an onion. And like all onions… eventually, they make you cry.
