Getting inside the world’s mafias.
From ISIS insurgents to MS-13 hitmen; Nigerian traffickers to Indian dons, Danny Gold and Sean Williams have met a lot of shady people in the past decade-or-so. Underworld brings their investigative work and excellent sense of humor together in one slapdash, hastily-edited podcast. Each week the transatlantic pair dives into a different gang, boss or warlord, charting their route to infamy and the systems that allowed them to flourish.
There’ll also be bonus episodes featuring some of the world’s leading experts in organized crime and conflict - plus interviews with real life mobsters. Gold and Williams will even share stories and tips that have kept them alive in some of the world’s scariest spots. Each week we invite listeners to fact-check us, tell us your own mafia stories - or just send abuse. It’s all about community, baby.
Underworld aims to explore the criminal underworlds that affect all our lives, whether we know it or not. Listen, donate, get in touch - and enjoy the show.
