    Today we are really digging into the rise of Oxycontin. We discuss the army of marketers and entire economy that built up around selling as many of these pain pills as possible to consumers without any regard for public safety.

    We also talk about how much and how early the Sackler Family and Perdue Pharma knew about the addictive and dangerous qualities of their drug. This one is heavy but I think it's very interesting and I hope y'all agree. Enjoy!
