In episode #53, Barry-John spoke to former DEA agent, Robert Mazur who was part of the most successful undercover operation in the Drug Enforcement Administration's history when they infiltrated the deadliest drug cartel on the planet, The Medellin Cartel, which was spearheaded by Pablo Escobar.
Robert's career was immortalised firstly in his best selling book which was then made into a movie of the same name, The Infiltrator which Hollywood A-lister Bryan Cranston starred as Robert.
In this fascinating podcast Robert speaks openly about his time spent as an undercover agent and the very real dangers that this presented. Robert also provides some very honest answers on his relationships with cartel members and how this affected him when bringing them to justice.
Another topic covered is the dynamic of the drug trade today and relationships between the cartels in Colombia and Mexico as well as the street gangs in the US.
