In early 2022, as Russian troops massed on Ukraine's border, Tom Mutch, a freelance war reporter, took a trip to Mariupol to take the temperature of this (then) culturally vibrant port on the Sea of Azov.  What stayed with him was the sound of the stray dogs and their "rhythmic and frantic barking, as if they were shouting a warning in unison". Within weeks, the city began a three-month siege and eventual fall but – to the surprise of many including Western powers – not just Kyiv but Mykolaiv, and Odesa held. Over the following months, resistance turned into reconquest and finally into a grinding artillery war of attrition reminiscent of the 1914-18 western front. In The Dogs of Mariupol: Russia's Invasion and the Forging of Ukraine's Iron Generation (Biteback, 2025), Tom Mutch tells the history of the war through members of the “iron generation” he met as a reporter and tells a darker tale of Ukrainian society since Bakhmut. *The author's book recommendations were Intent to Destroy: Russia's Two-Hundred-Year Quest to Dominate Ukraine by Eugene Finkel (Basic Books, 2024) and Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty by Patrick Radden Keefe (Picador, 2021).

How did a marketing campaign lead to one of the worst public health disasters in American history?  In this episode, I investigate the rise and fall of the Sackler family, the pharmaceutical empire they built, and the marketing tactics that got millions addicted to opioids. You'll learn: How reframing turned OxyContin from a last resort into a “safe” everyday drug. Why a vague letter (not a study) became the foundation for Purdue's 1% addiction claim. How the Sacklers used doctors, pain groups, and celebrities to exploit authority bias. Why repeating a false claim makes it more believable (feat. the mere exposure effect). How behavioural science helped sell a deadly drug—and what we can learn from it. --- Shatterproof non-profit: https://shatterproof.org/ Empire of Pain:  https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/612861/empire-of-pain-by-patrick-radden-keefe/ Sign up to my newsletter: https://www.nudgepodcast.com/mailing-list Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/phill-agnew-22213187/ Watch Nudge on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@nudgepodcast/ --- Sources: ABC News.

Philanthropy has been the subject of intensifying criticism, so how should donors think about their role in creating a better world? Beth Breeze, Ph.D., director of the Centre for Philanthropy at the University of Kent, has spent more than a decade examining and responding to critiques of philanthropy, most recently authoring the 2021 book, “In Defence of Philanthropy.” In conversation with Phil and Grace, she makes the case that the critics are largely getting it wrong, overlooking the positive results of giving and the unique role that civil society and nonprofits play in any thriving democracy.

Travis Rieder, a professor of bioethics at Johns Hopkins University, is fascinated by the world's ethical dilemmas.His work sits at the intersection of medicine and philosophy, but also draws from his own life experiences like in his book, In Pain: A Bioethicist's Personal Struggle with Opioids. His latest book, Catastrophe Ethics: How to Choose Well in a World of Tough Choices, delves into moral decision-making in the context of climate change and other pressing ethical challenges.Travis chats with host Greg LeBlanc about his harrowing experience with opioid withdrawal following a motorcycle accident, historic societal shifts in opioid perception, and how much one's individual decision-making truly impacts structural problems like climate change or the healthcare system.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:How did we get to the place where we have conflicting attitudes about opioids?09:53: How did we get to the place where we have conflicting attitudes about opioids? Because some people seem to think that they are, worth giving out like candy, and some people seem to think that they're like the devil's magic or whatever. And that story is old. That story is 200 years old plus, and it involves basically North America's attitudes just swinging back and forth from one extreme to the other. Every once in a while, we're like, "Oh, we really need to take pain seriously. Let's take opiates all the time." And then it predictably leads to a drug overdose crisis, an addiction crisis. And so the politicians freak out, and they slam on all the brakes, and they introduce new legislation. And then the country gets scared, and medicine gets scared. And we talk about how terrible these drugs are. And then we withhold them for 50 years. And then everyone's like, "Hey, maybe we should take care of cancer patients who are dying." And we start using the drugs again, and so on. And so we've done that move since the 1800s.Risky handoffs in medication management16:03: When it comes to pain medicine, when it comes to addiction management, when it comes to managing all sorts of difficult-to-manage medications, those handoffs are some of the riskiest places because they require care, and our system is not set up for that care to be there. Basic moral structure is everywhere41:00: The main contribution that I wanted my book to make was to make clear that same basic moral structure, that we are contributing in very small ways to all sorts of goods and bads, good moral projects and bad moral projects, all the time. That basic puzzle is everywhere.If someone argues that individual behavior doesn't matter, why would anyone bother trying?33:44: Our actions have been decoupled from the consequences that make us worry. And so climate change is bad because it harms people. And so my classic moral brain says, okay, harm, that means don't do it. So, everything that I do that contributes to climate change, I'm like, okay, I shouldn't do that because climate change harms. But the thing is that the principle was don't cause harm, and your individual action doesn't cause harm. Your individual action does this other thing, which is it infinitesimally contributes to this massive, complex system that is so big and so complex, we can't really comprehend it. A trillion metric tons of greenhouse gasses accumulating in an atmosphere and cycling through a carbon cycle that is just unimaginably complex. And so there is no hurricane that is even a little bit worse because of what I did. That's just not how any of this works.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty by Patrick Radden Keefe Michael E.

Buckle up, everyone, for a shocking tale about one of the worst families in American history! Kate tells Mollie about the book Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty by Patrick Radden Keefe, a riveting exploration of the Sackler family's ascent to power and their role in the opioid crisis. This impeccably researched book is an intersection of wealth, morality, and accountability. It leaves no doubt that the Sackler family was aware of and indifferent to the suffering their greed caused and were, in fact, huge sacks of shit.

Episode SummaryOur last episode explored addiction from the perspective of loved ones. In this episode, we are looking at the opioid crisis from the point of view of a retired FBI agent, Aaron Weeter, who spent 25 years specializing in drug-related crimes. From his frontline perspective, we learn how the opioid epidemic of the 90s spread to become the fentanyl epidemic we have today. For the visually-minded who prefer to listen and read or for those who need closed captioning, watch the transcript video here: https://youtu.be/oXq6XJ_z-HIAbout Aaron WeeterBeginning in 1998, Aaron served for over 23 years as a Special Agent in the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Washington, D.C. Field Office.  He served for twenty years as a case agent and three years as a supervisor investigating matters primarily involving white-collar/financial crimes in the areas of healthcare fraud and prescription drug diversion and distribution.  During this time, Aaron also worked on a variety of national/office-wide cases including the 9-11, D.C. Sniper and January 6th investigations among others.  Aaron is a licensed Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and a Certified Fraud Examiner.  He retired from the FBI in late 2021 and recently started a fraud consulting business.  Much of Aaron's FBI investigative work focused on the illegal distribution of pharmaceutical narcotics and other controlled substances by physicians, pharmacists and street-level dealers.  He opened his first "pill case" in early 1999 in the early stages of what would become the pill epidemic and through dozens of cases thereafter, had a window into the evolution of the pill epidemic and its influence on the current fentanyl epidemic gripping the U.S.  More to Watch and ReadChasing the Dragon: The Life of an Opiate Addict - a documentary made by the FBI & DEADr. Feelgood: Dealer or Healer? - a documentary about Dr. William Hurwitz, a Virginia physician who served nearly five years in prison for drug traffickingAnonymous Sister - a documentary where director Jamie Boyle explores her family's collision with the opioid epidemicAll the Beauty and the Bloodshed - a documentary about artist and activist Nan Goldin and her personal fight to hold the Sackler family accountable for the opioid overdose crisisDemon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver - a novel that shows the devastating impact of the opioid epidemic on a young boy in AppalachiaDopesick: Dealers, Doctors, and the Drug Company that Addicted America by Beth Macy - the definitive account of America's opioid epidemicRaising Lazarus: Hope, Justice, and the Future of America's Overdose Crisis by Beth Macy - a sequel to DopesickDopesick - Hulu limited series remake of Beth Macy's book Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty by Patrick Radden Keefe - a book that describes the Sackler family and their role in the opioid epidemicThe Family That Built an Empire of Pain - article by Patrick Radden Keefe that led to the bookWhat Can Be Done?Words Matter - Terms to Use and Avoid When Talking About Addictionhttps://www.cdc.gov/opioids/basics/fentanyl.html: https://www.cdc.gov/drugoverdose/prevention/index.htmlFentanyl Test StripsFind Narcan Near YouIf you or someone you know is struggling with substance use disorder, SAMHSA's (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) National Helpline, 1-800-662-HELP (4357), (also known as the Treatment Referral Routing Service) or TTY: 1-800-487-4889 is a confidential, free, 24-hour-a-day, 365-day-a-year, information service, in English and Spanish, for individuals and family members facing mental and/or substance use disorders.

The latest episode of The Read Smart Podcast features Prize Director Toby Mundy speaking to Patrick Radden Keefe, who won the prize in 2021 with Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty. Radden Keefe and Mundy together explore the dark and murky methods of the Sackler family, as well as the consequences of the crisis that are still seen in America today. Detailing the story of 21st century greed, the book explores the family's creation and marketing of Oxycontin, a painkiller that was a catalyst for the opioid crisis that nearly killed half a million people. Listen now to hear all about it. The podcast is generously supported by the Blavatnik Family Foundation. For more podcasts from The Baillie Gifford Prize, click here. Follow @BGPrize on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok and YouTube. The winner of the award will be announced on Thursday 27 April at an event held at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh.

Patrick Radden Keefe, who has been shortlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize of Prizes award, discusses his book Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty. It tells the shocking story of the Sackler family and the part their company, Purdue Pharma, played in America's opioid crisis. “The word ‘divine',” Iestyn Davies says, ”has changed its meaning to indicate nowadays beauty as well as Divinity.” The songs countertenor Iestyn Davies has selected for his new album, Divine Music: An English Songbook, reflect this change. There are settings by Purcell, Britten and Butterworth and words by Shakespeare, de la Mare and Housman. That prolific artist Anonymous makes a significant contribution, too. Iestyn Davies talks to Tom Sutcliffe about his choices and, accompanied by pianist Joseph Middleton, performs one of them, appropriately titled, ‘A Hymn on Divine Music'. Theatre is not only becoming increasingly focused on telling stories about our climate crisis, but also thinking more about how sustainably it actually stages those stories. Paddy Dillon, theatre architect and founder of the Theatre Green Book, and Kate McGrath, director of Fuel Theatre Company, talk about cutting the carbon footprint of fixed theatres and touring productions.

For many, the hearing about the opioid epidemic invokes images deindustrialized towns in West Virginia and Kentucky, but it was actually Alabama with the highest rate of per capita prescription.     Today on the show, Hunter Spoke with Leah Nelson, Research Director at Alabama Appleseed, and Stacey Fuller, a Certified Recovery Support Specialist, to discuss the impacts of opioids and addiction in the state of Alabama.     As with most states, Alabama approached addiction not as a illness to be treated, but as a wrong to be punished. For decades, the state failed to provide resources to those battling with addiction and sought to criminalize such behaviors. Predictably, this did little to curb crime, addiction, or overdose deaths.     While it may not happen overnight, Leah and Stacey are certain that by continuing to highlight the issues facing the state, they will be able to turn the state towards a more rehabilitative model.       Guest: Leah Nelson, Research Director, Alabama Appleseed Stacey Fuller, Certified Recovery Support Specialist     Key Topics: How Stacey became involved with the legal system [6:30] Leah sets the stage for how Alabama approaches the problem of addiction [7:45] How the system makes addiction more prevalent [13:45] What is happening at the legislature that enables this? [18:53] What Stacey provides to people fighting addiction [27:40] Inroads made with judges and prosecutors to seek non punitive solutions [31:20] Cost of Addiction in Alabama [33:00] What has Opioids shown about other drug use in the state [38:45] How to ensure we don't redo the war on drugs [42:41] Lack o trust in the system [49:40] Moving Alabama forward [53:00] Alabama Felon Registration Card [59:40]     Resources: Alabama Appleseed Bitter Pill Report http://alabamaappleseed.org/a-bitter-pill/ Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty https://www.amazon.com/Empire-Pain-History-Sackler-Dynasty-ebook/dp/B08ND91K6G Addiction Treatment Centers Alabama https://americanaddictioncenters.org/treatment-centers/alabama     Contact Hunter Parnell: hwparnell@publicdefenseless.com Instagram @PublicDefenselessPodcast Twitter                                                                 @PDefenselessPod www.publicdefenseless.com

Dr. Catherine Pearlman joins Brian to talk about her new book, “First Phone: A child's guide to digital responsibility, safety and etiquette.”Catherine discusses her career as a social worker, parenting coach and writer, how she got a syndicated column, and the writing lessons she learned from writing two columns a week for several years. She talks about how and why she decided to write a book specifically for kids, what it was like to write for kids, and what kids really think about smartphones. Digital education is a life-long process. Your kids will make mistakes in their digital life, but theyre part of life and what you can learn of life. And sleep. Good lord, sleep is so important.

Vox's Jamil Smith talks with journalist and author Eyal Press about "dirty work" — the jobs Americans do that, as Press explains, can lead workers to perform morally compromising activities unwittingly. They discuss examples of this kind of work (drone pilots, meat packers, prison aides), talk about its relation to the term "essential workers" that gained prominence during the pandemic, and explain how certain jobs highlight the disparities of class, race, and gender in American society.

Patrick Radden Keefe discusses Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty in conversation with Rosie Boycott. Empire of Pain is a sweeping investigative chronicle of three generations of the Sackler family, whose fortune was built by Valium and whose reputation was destroyed by OxyContin. The Sackler name adorns the walls of many storied institutions – Harvard; the Metropolitan Museum of Art; Oxford; the Louvre. They are one of the richest families in the world, known for their lavish donations in the arts and the sciences. The source of the family fortune was vague, however, until it emerged that the Sacklers were responsible for making and marketing Oxycontin, a blockbuster painkiller that was a catalyst for the opioid crisis – an international epidemic of drug addiction which has killed nearly half a million people. In his masterpiece of narrative reporting and writing, award-winning journalist and host of the Wind of Change podcast Patrick Radden Keefe exhaustively documents the jaw-dropping and ferociously compelling reality. Empire of Pain is the story of a dynasty: a parable of twenty-first-century greed. Empire of Pain was an instant New York Times bestseller, winner of the Baillie Gifford Prize, shortlisted for the Financial Times Business Book of the Year and a Barack Obama Favorite Book of the Year. Praise for Empire of Pain: “Explosive” — Washington Post “A tour de force” — Financial Times 5x15 brings together outstanding individuals to tell of their lives, passions and inspirations.

Our guest today is the author of one of the most lauded books of 2021, the superb Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty by Patrick Radden Keefe. One of the awards it garnered last year was the highly prestigious Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction and one of the judges on the panel last year was our own Dr Helen Czerski, so this week we've handed over the solo reigns of the podcast to Helen. She talks to Patrick about the book, the research, the threats, legal and beyond and how the Sacklers are an example of an entirely broken system.

The guys start off the episode by discussing Ali and his family recently contracting Covid-19. Then they switch up the format by first discussing the history of opioids, the interplay between pharma and medicine in the marketing of opioids and the rise of Purdue pharma (5:29). They then talk about the opioid crisis, the rise of oxycontin and fentanyl, and the damage done. The guys then discuss the television show ‘Dopesick', how it was developed, and it's focus on the Appalachian area of the US (30:50). The guys praise the performances of all the actors and the writing of the series. Finally, Ali asks Asif about his personal experiences in learning about opioids in medical school and whether he prescribes them in his clinical practice (43:35).    The opinions expressed are those of the hosts, and do not reflect those of any other organizations.

In this OODAcast, we talk with Simon Clark. Simon a British journalist and writer. He previously worked at the Wall Street Journal. His investigative reporting has led him to the poppy fields of Afghanistan, the copper mines of Congo and to many banks in the City of London. He was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize in 2016. Simon is the author of the "The Key Man: The True Story of How the Global Elite Was Duped by a Capitalist Fairy Tale ". The book tells the story of Arif Naqvi and his Dubai-based private-equity firm Abraaj and how he attracted  billions of dollars in investment and shared the stage and social scene with the world's global elite in what would become one of the most audacious large scale frauds of recent times. The book also made my Top 10 Security, Technology, and Business book list for 2021. We discuss the rise and fall of Arif and specifically look at the tragedy of root causes that shifted Abraaj from the beacon of emerging economy investments to a shell game of alleged deep investor fraud. We also spend time discussing why Arif was able to attract so much attention and the role transparency could have played in discovering the fraud sooner.

L’épisode “À deux voix” 🎧 de cette semaine est le premier de l’année 2022 ! Il s’agit d’une discussion à propos de la terrible crise des opiacés qui a fait l’an dernier plus de 100 000 morts aux États-Unis. Comment et pourquoi les morts par overdoses ont-elles atteint un niveau épidémique ? Nicolas et moi évoquons l’histoire d’une famille, le rôle de l’industrie pharmaceutique et les causes économiques et sociales qui font du pays une « nation de drogués » …Alors que la pandémie de Covid sévit encore, une autre épidémie fait des ravages aux États-Unis, celle des overdoses d’opiacés, ces substances psychotropes aux effets similaires à l’opium. OxyContin, Vicodin, Fentanyl… : ces drogues sont d’abord prescrites par des médecins à des patients qui se plaignent de douleurs. Très addictives, elles ont créé une génération de nouveaux drogués, dont certains se tournent vers l’héroïne quand ils n’ont plus accès aux opiacés de manière légale.Le nombre de morts par overdose, particulièrement celles résultant de drogues prescrites, a atteint un niveau épidémique aux États-Unis (Drug Enforcement Agency)Entre avril 2020 et avril 2021, le Center for Disease Control (CDC) a enregistré 100 306 décès par overdose. La drogue tue davantage que les armes à feu et les accidents de voiture. C’est la première cause de mortalité chez les jeunes. La pandémie n’a fait qu’aggraver cette crise : d’une part, elle a créé de nouveaux addicts et d’autre part, elle a empêché de nombreuses personnes de se faire accompagner et soigner correctement.Derrière la crise des opiacés, il y a un laboratoire pharmaceutique particulièrement mis en cause : Purdue Pharma. Et derrière ce laboratoire, une famille, dont l’histoire singulière est fascinante et riche d’enseignements sur le système américain qui a permis cette crise. C’est dans un ouvrage passionnant intitulé Empire of Pain, paru l’an dernier, que Nicolas et moi puisons une partie de la matière pour cette discussion “à deux voix”.Empire of Pain commence par l'histoire de trois frères médecins, Raymond, Mortimer et Arthur, qui ont affronté la pauvreté de la Grande Dépression et un antisémitisme effroyable. Travaillant dans un établissement psychiatrique barbare, Arthur a vu une meilleure solution et a mené des recherches révolutionnaires sur les traitements médicamenteux. Il se découvre également un génie pour le marketing, en particulier pour les produits pharmaceutiques, et achète une petite entreprise de publicité.Arthur conçoit le marketing du Valium, et construit la première grande fortune des Sackler. Il achète un laboratoire pharmaceutique, Purdue Frederick, qui sera dirigé par Raymond et Mortimer. Les frères ont commencé à collectionner des œuvres d'art, des épouses et de grandes résidences dans des lieux exotiques. Leurs enfants et petits-enfants grandissent dans le luxe.Si la crise des opiacés est souvent expliquée par le pouvoir des laboratoires pharmaceutiques, elle a aussi des causes sociales et économiques particulières que nous discutons dans ce podcast.Dans cette conversation “À deux voix”, nous discutons les sujets suivants :L’histoire de la famille Sackler ;Le développement des opiacés pour combattre la douleur ;Les laboratoires pharmaceutiques et le développement de nouvelles molécules ;La Food & Drug Administration américaine ;L’histoire du marketing médical ;Le système de santé américain ;L’impact de la pandémie ;Les raisons culturelles et sociales qui expliquent le grand nombre de drogués…Dopesick (série produite par Hulu) 🎞️Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty, Patrick Radden Keefe, Doubleday, 2021 📚Le média de la crise et de la transition“À deux voix”, nos conversations à bâtons rompus sur l’actualitéUne vision engagée, des clefs pour aller au fond des chosesNos abonnés : des entrepreneurs, professionnels, citoyens engagésDes nouvelles de nos travaux et de nos projetsQui nous sommesLaetitia | Fondatrice de Cadre Noir Ltd, collabore avec Welcome to the Jungle, auteure de Du Labeur à l’ouvrage (Calmann-Lévy, 2019) et 100 idées innovantes pour recruter des talents et les faire grandir (avec Jeremy Clédat, Vuibert, 2020).Nicolas | Cofondateur de la société The Family, ancien chroniqueur à L’Obs, auteur de L’Âge de la multitude (avec Henri Verdier, Armand Colin, 2015) et Un contrat social pour l’âge entrepreneurial (Odile Jacob, 2020).Nous sommes mariés depuis presque 15 ans et vivons à Munich, en Allemagne, avec nos deux enfants. Nouveau Départ est le média que nous avons conçu ensemble au printemps 2020 pour mieux nous orienter dans la crise et dans la transition.Nos podcasts sont également accessibles sur Apple Podcasts et Spotify.

Debbie talks to legendary business author and speaker Tom Peters.  And if you're wondering why she's interviewing a business management guru, it's because Tom exemplifies the new name of the podcast: [B]OLDER. I.e. getting bolder as you grow older. Tom is the co-author of In Search of Excellence, which was published 40 years ago and is considered one of the most influential business books ever written. The book makes the argument that excellent companies treat their employees with respect. They put people first. That was a more unusual perspective four decades ago than it is now.Tom is known for his brash delivery and has been happily haranguing audiences and readers for decades with his philosophy of people first.  In 2017 he received the Thinkers50 Lifetime Achievement Award. He also coined the term Personal Branding.And he's not stopping, even as he turns 80.In this conversation, he reflects on excellence and teamwork; passion, outrage and why they are the most important quality in a good speaker; his love for research and data and the concept of compassionomics. He also gets personal, opening up about his childhood and his mother's influence and reiterating why he is not done yet.He's as fanatical as ever and you'll hear Debbie occasionally interrupting or trying to interrupt him in this conversation. Not something Debbie normally does but Tom's Director of Programs, Shelley Dolley, encouraged her to do so. His most recent book, Excellence Now: Extreme Humanism,  is more relevant now than ever with its emphasis on creating a humane workplace. It's his eighteenth book and it may be his last, he tells Debbie. Much of his written and speech material is available—free to download—at tompeters.com and excellencenow.com.Enjoy a spirited and wide-ranging conversation with a legendary thinker.  Mentioned in this episode or useful:TomPeters.comTom Peters on TwitterIn Search of Excellence: Lessons from America's Best-Run Companies by Tom Peters and Bob Waterman (​​Harper Business; Reprint edition 2006)Excellence Now: Extreme Humanism by Tom Peters (Networlding Publishing, March 2021)Complete listing of Tom's booksThe Brand Called You by Tom Peters (Fast Company, August 31 1997)Tom Peters remembers Bob Waterman (who died Jan. 2, 2022)Debbie's Cool Friends interview with Tom Peters (2008)Susan Sargent (married to Tom Peters)Rebecca Eaton - Masterpiece TheaterMcKinsey & CoThe Firm: The Story of McKinsey and Its Secret Influence on American Business by Duff McDonald (​​Simon & Schuster; Reprint edition 2014)The Golden Passport: Harvard Business School, the Limits of Capitalism, and the Moral Failure of the MBA Elite by Duff McDonald (Harper Business; Reprint edition 2017)Tickled: A Commonsense Guide to the Present Moment by Duff McDonald (Harper; 2021)Dopesick (TV Mini Series 2021)Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty by Patrick Radden Keefe (Doubleday; 2021)Should Women Rule?

The Sackler's are one of the richest families in the world and for years they were lauded for their philanthropy, while the source of their fortune remained a mystery. Then it was revealed that they were the developers of OxyContin, the drug at the heart of the opioid crisis that crippled America, and led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands. Spanning three generations, the story of the Sackler family is a portrait of the excesses of America's second gilded age, and a parable of twenty-first century business.

Looking for a gripping TRUE story that's impossible to put down? In his 15-hour audiobook published in April 2021, Keefe captures a family saga that spans the twentieth century and leads up to 2020. Members of the Sackler family founded Purdue Pharma, the infamous maker of OxyContin, a prescription drug that has fuelled an opioid epidemic across North America for the last twenty years. Patrick Radden Keefe's investigative journalism about the Sackler family has a history, too; he first published his findings in a 2017 New Yorker article, The Family That Built an Empire of Pain.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City is dropping the Sackler name from several galleries amid growing frustration over the role the family might have played in the opioid crisis. Earlier this year, we spoke to writer Patrick Radden Keefe about the Sackler family and his book, Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty.

[REBROADCAST FROM August 17th, 2021] In light of the removal of the Sackler name from the Met's exhibition spaces, We return to Patrick Radden Keefe's "Full Bio" series on his book Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty. We talk about the relationship between the Sackler brothers, and the creation of MS Contin, the precursor to OxyContin.

Patrick Radden Keefe is an award-winning staff writer at The New Yorker and the bestselling author of Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty. In this episode, Patrick tells the story of the Sackler family and Purdue Pharma - makers of the pain management drug OxyContin, providing the backdrop for the ensuing opioid epidemic and public health crisis. He reveals the implicit and sometimes explicit corruption of all parties involved in the development, approval, and marketing of OxyContin, leading to a cascade of unintended consequences including addiction and death. He explains the unfortunate lack of accountability for the current crisis, as well as what it all means for those with legitimate pain management needs. Finally, he examines the difficult path ahead towards finding a solution. We discuss: Patrick's investigation into distribution and use of drugs in our society [3:55]; The scale of the opioid crisis [9:15]; The Sackler brothers: family life, career in the pharmaceutical industry, and role in the current crisis [11:45]; Purdue Pharma: origins, early years, and move towards pain management drugs [17:30]; The development of OxyContin: its conception, marketing, and the controversy around the FDA approval process [25:30]; Early reports of OxyContin addiction and unintended consequences and how Purdue Pharma sidestepped responsibility [40:45]; The many paths to addiction and abuse of OxyContin and the ensuing downfall of Purdue Pharma [47:15]; Peter's personal experience with OxyContin [57:00]; Pain—the “fifth vital sign,” how doctors are trained in pain management, and the influence of money [1:08:00]; Other players that helped facilitate the eventual opioid crisis [1:16:15]; Lack of accountability following the investigation and prosecution of Purdue and the Sackler family [1:23:30]; Legacy of the Sackler family and their disconnect from reality [1:34:45]; Patrick's views on the regulation and use of pain management drugs [1:42:15]; The difficult path forward [1:44:45]; and More.

Many of the people on the FBI's cyber most wanted list are Russian. While some allegedly work for the government earning a normal salary, others are accused of making a fortune from ransomware attacks and online theft. If they left Russia they'd be arrested - but at home they appear to be given free rein. Also on the programme: the award-winning author Patrick Radden Keefe discusses his book on the Sackler Dynasty: and we head to Sudan where new demonstrations are rocking the capital, Kharthoum.

Over the last 25 years, the opioid epidemic has been devastating to families and communities all over the U.S., and has caused half a million deaths. But it started as a way to treat severe pain. Today, host Emily Kwong talks to Patrick Radden Keefe, author of the book Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty, about what went wrong in science to make the opioid epidemic what it is today.

This is the first episode of our third season, and “The Anatomy of Desire” is the perfect book to introduce our fall reading theme and schedule. In season two we tackled a variety of western classics and foundational texts. With this book we're beginning to explore the work built on those foundations. Published in May, 2021, “The Anatomy of Desire” is a modern reimagining of Theodore Dreiser's classic crime drama, “An American Tragedy,” which we read earlier this year.  Reminder: this is a spoiler-filled podcast.

But when he delivers an occult tome to a reclusive sorceress in the heart of Queens, Tom opens a door to a deeper realm of magic, and earns the attention of things best left sleeping.A storm that might swallow the world is building in Brooklyn. Will Black Tom live to see it break?

In this episode of Heart of the Matter, Elizabeth Vargas interviews bestselling author and investigative journalist Patrick Radden Keefe about his latest book, Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty. In this book, Patrick tells the story of the family responsible for setting into motion the opioid epidemic. Following his recent testimony before the House Committee on Oversight and Reform about the Sackler family, Patrick joins Elizabeth to discuss the “Don Draper of medical advertising,” how one family created a massive addiction crisis, and what is in store for the Sacklers, who now face numerous lawsuits.  Related reading:  After you listen, explore these resources from Partnership to End Addiction to learn more about the topics and themes discussed in this episode:  Your Comprehensive Guide to the Opioid Epidemic — and What You Can Do About It Safeguard Against Medicine Abuse: Securing and Disposing Medications Send a Letter Now: Increase Access to Addiction Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery Services 

Sam and Emma host Patrick Radden Keefe, staff writer at the New Yorker and author of Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty, on how the family behind Perdue Pharma and Oxycontin built their fortune on opioid addiction and pharmaceutical marketing. Beginning with the origin of the Sackler dynasty, Keefe walks us through how Arthur Sackler's combination of Draper-esque marketing spirit with pharmaceutical knowledge established the blueprint that the family would take forwards into the development of Oxycontin. They also cover the in-depth manipulation of the perception of the drug, particularly among medical experts, as the Sackler family capitalized on professional misconceptions regarding the potency of oxycodone, allowing them to push non-scientific addiction statistics. Beyond discussions of the Succession-type family dynamics and lack of empathy prevalent with the Sacklers, Patrick, Emma, and Sam also explore the failures of the system at every possible check, from the DOJ, DEA, and FDA to the entirety of Congress, and how many of these instances can be traced back to the Sackler fortune. They conclude the interview touching on the copious legal battles, in every state and at almost every level of court, that the Sackler family and Purdue Pharma are currently facing, and try to tackle how big their blood fortune actually is. Emma and Sam round out the free half with a discussion on NY primaries, including India Walton's big win in Buffalo, looking to become the city's first woman or socialist mayor, and a smaller chat on how NYC progressives' chances are shaping up in the mayoral race and a few city council races. And in the Fun Half: Sam gets vulnerable and flexes his performance art muscles as the crew walks through some lingering talking points from Crowder's great debate escape, before Tim Pool reminds us how the entire event was really about Sam and him. Then, Matt from PA calls in to explore the violent grip that figures on the online alt-right have on much of the public, obscuring any economic alignment they might have with the left through an emphasis on culture war, and John from San Antonio looks into socialist progress in NY and SA City Council, and reflects on how Bernie could've better managed to represent his socialist identity to the public. The fun half is wrapped up by admiring Dave Rubin's claim to the political tutelage of one Glenn Greenwald, and Meghan McCain's insistence on US fealty to the Catholic Church, plus, your calls and IMs!

The vastly wealthy Sackler family are known as respectable patrons of the arts, but the story behind their philanthropy is a dark one. The Sacklers made their billions from OxyContin or “Hillbilly Heroin”, the $35m prescription drug that precipitated America's opioid crisis – an epidemic that has killed half a million people.Patrick Radden Keefe, author of Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty, tells Ros Taylor about the corruption and influence that turned a deadly addictive drug into a medical staple, how the Sacklers insulated themselves from what they'd done, and how racism in medicine – surprisingly – spared many African Americans while devastating poor whites.• “The truth has caught up with the Sacklers. I don't know that justice ever will.”• “This story is a slow-moving disaster. It took a quarter of a century to get to a quarter of a million deaths.” • “Many people hooked on OxyContin just switched to heroin when they reformulated it in 2010.” • “The question is, What did the Sacklers know about the harm OxyContin caused? And evidence shows that they DID know.” Presented by Ros Taylor. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producers Jelena Sofronijevic and Jacob Archbold. Music by Kenny Dickinson.

The opioid crisis in the US has killed half a million people and created millions of addicts, all because the pharmaceutical companies pushed opioid medicines as not being prone to abuse or addictive. In his latest HBO doc-series The Crime of the Century (2021), Oscar- and Emmy-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney provides the most comprehensive look to date at the opioid crisis in the US. Alex joins us to discuss the making of the film, arguing that the opioid crisis has deeply criminal roots. The film finds fresh evidence that shows just how deep that criminality runs. The Crime of the Century premiered on HBO and HBO Max on May 10th and May 11th. It comes to Sky Documentaries and streaming service NOW on Sunday, May 16th at 9pm. It's the little acts of corruption that get bigger and bigger, and over time you get a fully corrupted system. – Alex Gibney Time Stamps: 00:12 - Trailer for The Crime of the Century. 03:00 - Introducing the director Alex Gibney. 04:14 - What The Crime of the Century is about. 05:50 - Why Alex is making this film now, and the new evidence he uncovered. 08:00 - How crimes by the pharma industry created the opioid crisis. 13:10 - How the opioid crisis has evolved and worsened during Covid. 14:23 - The reactions of federal and state governments to the crisis. 19:45 - The number of pharmaceutical industry executives that were prosecuted. 23:48 - How the problem with opioids can be solved. 28:10 - How Alex Gibney approached the subjects of the film. 34:40 - Pharma rap video in the film is a smoking gun. 36:40 - The perseverance with which Alex Gibney explores corruption. 39:12 - What The Crime of the Century tells us about human nature. 39:45 - Alex Gibney's next projects and the topics he would like to explore. 41:15 - What he hopes the legacy of the film will be.
