I'm Erlon Woods. I'm Nigel Poore. We're the hosts and creators of Ear Hustle from PRX's Radiotopia. When we met, I was doing time at San Quentin State Prison in California. And I was coming in as a volunteer. The stories we tell are probably not what people expect from a prison podcast. Like cooking meals in a prison cell. Keeping little pets. Prison nicknames. And trying to be a parent from inside. Stories about life on the inside, shared by those who live it. Find Ear Hustle wherever you get your podcasts.
I'm Carter Roy, the host of Murder True Crime Stories. If you listen to true crime because you want more than just what happened, this show is for you. Each episode takes a deep dive into history's most notorious murders, looking beyond the crime scene to focus on the people and communities impacted the most. Whether a case is solved or unsolved, the goal is simple, to understand why these stories still matter. New episodes drop every Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Follow Murder True Crime Stories on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, or wherever you listen.
Welcome one and welcome all to the Underworld Podcast Sash House edition. Now, we like to say on this show that we do what others don't. We are actual journalists who have been all over the world reporting on everything from Burmese war laws to civil war in the Central African Republic. And while that may be the case, every six weeks or so we like to do what every other podcast out there is doing, which is of course spout off about news stories with minimal research from the comfort of our own homes, which is what today is. We just gave it a cool name.
Yeah, I can't stress this enough. If you're a new listener, just go back and listen to any of our other episodes. This one is for the fan base, you know?
Yeah, one for the heads. Show the badge. I am Sean Williams in Argentina. My friend and co-host Danny Gold is in the United States of America. Next week, you'll be getting some exclusive first-hand reporting from my incredible descent into actual madness in Cuba. But for now, it is a world tour of baddies and their duels.
I think you're using the term baddies in like the way that Monty Python clip does from 30 years ago. It's not really used that way anymore. It means something entirely different. And that would be an entirely different podcast that would be a lot more fun to make.
Damn. Okay. I'm going to do some... Should I be doing research? No. No. Okay. Yeah. You're a married man. Cool. I'm too old for this stuff. Quick reminder before we kick off. Follow us on all the socials where we are very active in the world of slop. We also have merch at our website, underworldpod.com. And you can get in touch about anything, even your marital problems, at the underworldpodcast at gmail.com. Am I missing anything apart from the... the self-deprecating British charm people have come to love me for.
Why is the Sinaloa cartel war getting deadlier despite Mexico’s military crackdown?
Do you want to enlighten us with any tales from your own life? I do
not, and I'm also not going to mention that mustache. Patreon.com, Session of World Podcast, for bonuses, movie review, bad movie reviews that we're doing, that Sean's doing, and Dale.

Yeah, I'm so cool that I'm 40 years old and it took me like two and a half weeks to grow this. Anyway, just like Danny Gold with a pocket full of $1 bills, Sinaloa's cartel war shows no signs of slowing down. You can do better than that, man. Come on. Not on this kind of time budget. On September 13, which is, I think, a couple of weeks ago as we're putting this out, thousands marched through the state capital, Culiacan, to protest violence that has now claimed over 3,000 lives in two years, including, of course, tons of innocent civilians caught up in the crossfire. Slogans flown at the protest, which is organized by the Catholic Church, shout out, that's getting back to its 1960s vibe where it actually matters, included, we want peace and I'm fed up with living in fear.
Does this count as liberation theology or does that like have to be against the state for it to be?
