In episode two of our Dealing With Drugs podcast, we ask, "What is really going on with the international drug trade?" and get the answersfrom Daniel Brombacher, Director of the Observatory of Organised Crime in Europe. We talk to celebrated Irish musician Damien Dempseyabout the friends and family members he's lost to heroin and cocaine; preview Netflix's new cannabis industrydrama, Amsterdam Empire; and investigate the crack down on drug use in Russia and the Kremlin's draconian banning of harm reduction organisations.
