Welcome to You Can't Make This Up, a companion podcast for Netflix's original true crime stories.

I'm Rebecca Lervoy, your host.

Each episode we take a close up look at a true crime narrative, documentary, or series,

and I talk to the people who made them, diving deep into the backstories and getting answers to questions raised by what we just watched.

Up this week, the docu series, Cocaine Cowboys, Kings of Miami.

I sit down with a series director and executive producer Billy Corbin and executive producer Alfred

Spellman.

A note to listeners, this podcast episode contains spoilers,

so make sure to watch all six episodes of Cocaine Cowboys Kings of Miami

before listening on.
