THE BALKAN CANNABIS TRIANGLE

In THE BALKAN CANNABIS TRIANGLE, investigative journalist Kostas Koukoumakas guides you through the complex and often hidden world of cannabis production and trade in Southern Europe. This isn't just a report; it's an audio journey across borders, built on firsthand reporting from Greece, North Macedonia, and Albania. The series delves into the tension between illegal networks and emerging legal markets, unpacking a multi-layered economy that influences everything from local politics to international policy. You'll hear raw, original audio from the field-conversations, ambient sounds, and candid interviews that place you directly within the story. The podcast features exclusive, unpublished material and new conversations that track the latest developments, offering depth beyond the acclaimed print versions featured in outlets like BBC News, VICE, DIE ZEIT, and Courrier International. Produced by iMEdD Podcasts, each episode pieces together a cross-border narrative, revealing the human and systemic realities behind the headlines. It’s a detailed, ongoing examination for anyone interested in the intersection of global news, regional politics, and ground-level economics, all presented through the intimate medium of an investigative podcast.
