What do John Kapoor, American Indian reservations and Pain Clinics have in common?... A deep dive into the powerful opioid fuelling America's overdose crisis. Whether you have heard of Fentanyl or not, you'd be very aware of the pain medication crisis America, and by proxy other parts of the world, are experiencing.
Tune in this week as Ollie illuminates, how although opioids have been around for thousands of years, the powerful synthetic opioid fentanyl causes more fatal overdoses than any other drug. Brought to us by VICE News Podcasts and Written and hosted by the excellent Keegan Hamilton - Painkiller: America's Fentanyl Crisis is a sensational listen.
Hear how Keegan and his team travelled around the US and the world for over a year tracing the flow of illicit fentanyl, meeting cartel members in Mexico, an internet trafficker in China, and the DEA agents trying to track them down. Understand how they investigate the dark web’s biggest fentanyl dealers, pharmaceutical giants pushing pills and even talk to front-line workers responding to overdoses.
