In our inaugural episode, we spoke with science and environmental journalist Rachel Nuwer about her book "Poached: Inside the Dark World of Wildlife Trafficking." We spoke about her process for writing the book, the time she spent with actual wildlife traffickers, and what can be done to stop the illegal wildlife trade--particularly in Asia.
