Every image was taken somewhere. Every investigation starts somewhere. And every wasted click costs you time.
This episode covers Issues 95 and 96 of The OSINT Newsletter and focuses on two core realities of modern OSINT: why geolocation is one of the most powerful skills an investigator can develop, and why planning and organization separate professionals from amateurs.
In Episode 13 of The OSINT Podcast, host Jake Creps breaks down geolocation OSINT from first principles, showing how digital clues, visual recognition, metadata, and mapping platforms converge to place data in physical space. Alongside that, Jake explores how structured planning, deduplication, and case management dramatically improve investigative efficiency.
The episode also covers OSINT news, emerging risks in AI driven search environments, investigative workflow design, and several practical tools investigators can deploy immediately.
Highlights include:
🌍 Geolocation OSINT: Half Art, Half Science – why placing digital evidence into geographic context is one of the most powerful investigative capabilities, and how visual and technical methods work together.
🛠 Tools in Focus – OSINT Entity Extractor for structured note creation, p3Wifi as a modern alternative to Wigle, ThunderBit for AI assisted scraping, and case management inside Obsidian.
Throughout the episode, the emphasis stays on fundamentals over hype, discipline over distraction, and workflow over chaos. Geolocation is triangulation. Organization is leverage. Planning is speed.
If you want to sharpen your GEOINT skills and build an investigative system that actually scales, Episode 13 is for you.
