    This week we are starting a Big one. Is finally time for us to talk about The Sackler Family.

    Emily takes us through the older generation of the Sacklers who built the machine that would later be used to create a nation wide Opioid Epidemic. Arthur Sackler was the man that developed the monster that is modern Pharmaceutical advertisements and got extremely wealthy doing it. This series is gonna be a doozie. I hope you enjoy!
