Out here, in these streets, you're either a predator or you're a prey.

This is Trafficked, a podcast from National Geographic and Muck Media about black markets, hidden economies and underground trafficking operations.

Let me tell me so, money is the root of all easier.

I'm Marianna Van Zeller.

I've spent my career reporting on black markets

and the people who make their living in them.

And now I have a new documentary TV series called Trafficked,

which is an unprecedented look at underground economies around the world.

The series premieres on December 2nd on the National Geographic Channel, and it's pretty

wild. Could you make cocaine? Sure. Could you make heroin? Yeah, very simple. Do you know how to make

fentanyl? Yeah. The trafficked podcast covers similar territory, but from an even more personal

perspective, each week, I'll bring you the story of one traffickers rise and fall,

how they got their starts, how they operated, how they lived to the high life, and how it all came crashing down.

Here comes all the cop cars. Everybody's happy.

I sit down with Struggle Jennings, a country rapper who once

made a living dealing pills. I've got a closet full of rest in peace t-shirts. You either die or you go to

prison. I talked to Tony Bosch, the man who injected Major League Baseball and the sports world full

of steroids. I had to pay off the agents, I have to pay off the handlers.

Yeah, there was a major, major network.

I'll also talk pimping with famed Madam Heidi Fleiss,

cocaine with one of Miami's original cocaine cowboys,

and counterfeiting with one of the world's most notorious art thieves.
