Ejecutados a plena luz del día. Un autolavado convertido en zona de guerra. Mayiza quiere el control del territorio de Los Chapitos, y la ciudad está pagando el precio.

El 24 de febrero de 2025, sicarios llegaron en tres vehículos y abrieron fuego sin dudar. Tres jóvenes asesinados. Un cuarto desaparecido. ¿Quién se preocupa por los muertos cuando son solo niños?

Esta no es solo otra historia de violencia del narco. Es un patrón que Culiacán conoce demasiado bien.

Escucha ahora mientras analizamos la masacre, la guerra civil del Cártel de Sinaloa, y la pregunta que nadie quiere hacer: ¿alguien se arrepiente?

There are things that should never feel normal—a child’s body crumpled on the pavement, a mother’s screams swallowed by the night, another name added to Culiacán’s growing list of the forgotten.

This isn’t just another cartel killing. It’s a war playing out in broad daylight, a war that Mayiza’s faction ignited when they came for Los Chapitos’ territory, dragging the city into deeper violence. A war that has left a generation of children in body bags.

In this episode, we break down the February 24, 2025, car wash massacre—the executions, the abduction, and the silence that follows. Who gets to matter in this war? Who gets buried without a sound? And most importantly—does anyone regret it?

Once Mexico’s most elusive cartel boss, Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada is now grasping at straws with desperate threats that no one’s buying. In this episode, we reveal how his blackmail attempts fail to shake the government, the consequences for his family, and why his so-called “evidence” has lost all bite. Tune in to see how the biggest narco legend can become irrelevant overnight.

Step inside a world few outsiders ever witness. The Journalist and the Photo is the raw, unfiltered story of independent journalist Mica Treviño’s journey into the heart of cartel territory.

This isn’t a story about the cartel—it’s a story about visiting the cartel. The experience, the process, the reality most people will never see firsthand.

No sensationalism. No glorification. Just truth.

🎙️ El Periodista y la Foto

En El Periodista y la Foto, el periodista independiente Mica Treviño te lleva a un mundo que pocos forasteros han visto. Esta no es una historia sobre el cartel, sino sobre el viaje.

Sin financiamiento externo, sin equipo de seguridad y sin garantías, Mica viaja a Culiacán, México, navegando las reglas no escritas del territorio del cartel, obteniendo acceso sin precedentes y capturando una sola fotografía que prueba que todo ocurrió.

Desde reuniones en la sombra y negociaciones tensas hasta momentos inesperados de humor y humanidad, este podcast no trata de glorificar ni condenar, sino de ser testigo.

Una historia real. Una experiencia real.

Algunos detalles han sido omitidos por seguridad.

Porque algunas historias solo pueden contarse cuando es el momento adecuado.

On September 24, 2024, investigative journalist Ioan Grillo joined Narco Talk to break down the kidnapping of El Mayo Zambada and the implications for the cartel underworld. The war hasn’t erupted at this point, but the tension is rising.

Ioan’s deep knowledge of cartel structures, power shifts, and historical conflicts gives critical insight into what might come next. We discuss:

• The truth behind El Mayo’s kidnapping

• What this means for the Sinaloa Cartel

• How cartel wars start—and why this one feels different

• The geopolitical ripple effect of Mexico’s cartel violence

Ioan explains everything perfectly, giving one of the clearest breakdowns of cartel warfare you’ll find anywhere. If you’re following the latest Narco Wars (2024), this episode is essential listening.

In this debut episode of Narco Talk, investigative journalist Mica Treviño interviews Chris Dalby, an expert on organized crime, to discuss the meteoric rise and ruthless expansion of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG).

With a global reach and military-style tactics, CJNG has become one of the most violent and influential criminal organizations in the world. Dalby unpacks:

• How Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera built an empire of fear and firepower

• CJNG’s brutal wars against rival cartels and the Mexican government

• The cartel’s global drug trafficking networks and its move beyond Mexico

• What the future holds for CJNG, Sinaloa, and the evolving narco landscape

This is raw, unfiltered insight from a leading expert in the field. There is no fluff—just facts, analysis, and the real story behind CJNG’s iron grip on the drug trade.
