In this haunting episode of Black Tape Report, host William Brown unpacks the devastating legacy of Purdue Pharma — the company that turned pain into profit and reshaped American medicine through a single pill: OxyContin. From its rise in the 1990s to its collapse under lawsuits and scandal, this uninterrupted narrative exposes the marketing machine, the buried warnings, and the corporate silence that helped ignite the opioid epidemic. Behind the prescriptions and profits were lives shattered by addiction, overdoses, and loss. This is not just a story about a drug. It's about a system that sold relief and delivered a crisis. And the bill is still coming due.
