Glitterpill Podcast

Welcome to the Glitterpill Podcast, where we explore extremism, disinformation, and resilience with honesty, clarity, and heart. Each episode brings insights from researchers, practitioners, and cultural voices on how we navigate this moment in history without losing ourselves.

In This Episode Stefano cuts through the noise to reveal the hard truths about cartels beyond the culture war headlines and academic siloes. Expect gripping field stories, sharp analysis, and practical tools for building resilience in the face of organized crime. We also open up about our own struggles with academia, what they miss in the race to stay "relevant," what "The War on Drugs" framing misses in this present moment, and the blind spots that still need shoring up.

Why It Matters Glitterpill is about seeing beyond the noise, arming yourself with information, rejecting both the red pill and blue pill and finding creative ways to thrive in dangerous times.
