I'm Sean Williams.

And I'm Danny Golds and we're the host of the Underworld podcast.

We're journalists that have traveled all over reporting on dangerous people and places.

And every week we'll be bringing you a new story about organized crime from all over the world.

We know this stuff because we've been there.

while we're at it.

The Underworld Podcast explores the criminal Underworlds that affect all of our lives, whether we know it or not.

Available wherever you get your podcasts.
