Criminal Lives

by Wondery

What drives a regular person to risk it all in the criminal underworld? On Wondery's Criminal Lives, host Danny Gold takes you inside the minds of some of America’s most successful black market entrepreneurs. From a larger-than-life steroids kingpin who dodged bullets on his way to the top, to the self described "Original Gay Gangster" who had a gift for numbers and an addiction to luxury, to a surfing smuggler who found zen in the Thai weed trade, each reveals the rules of the game, the adrenaline-fueled highs, and the missteps that brought it all crashing down. Forget what you've seen in the movies. Criminal Lives brings you the unvarnished truth of what it really means to choose a life of crime.

I absolutely love that we get the story from the person that committed the crime with no spin. They know their failings and their strengths and the narration was perfect! The only bad part is that there aren’t that many shows yet😭😍😍

I binged listened to all of them. They were all new (to me) and interesting. I especially enjoyed the Roid King - insane. Looking forward to future episodes.
