Episode: 9: The Road to Hell is Paved in Silk
Description: The Silk Road was famed in days of old as a mysterious, magical route to purchase exotic goods from then little-known India and China. The Silk Road of modern times, built on the Dark Web by a troubled libertarian tech whiz, became a dark route to purchase anything illegal - from drugs to weapons to much worse. My guest Broc talks about his journey down the Silk Road to addiction, his plummet to rock bottom, and his road to recovery.
