About the Show

The stories behind the story

Deep Threads goes where the headlines don't. Host Dean Balsamini — a veteran New York Post journalist with decades in the trenches — sits down with athletes, artists, lawyers, umpires, Olympians, and storytellers to pull the threads that the mainstream press leaves dangling.

Each episode is a long-form conversation built on real reporting instincts: ask the uncomfortable question, follow the unexpected answer, let the silence do its work. No talking points, no PR handlers, no time limits.

From the mob stories James Caan kept to himself to the inside account of what the 1980 Olympic Boycott cost a generation of athletes, Deep Threads delivers the kind of conversation you won't find anywhere else.
