Smoked

89

In the 1980s, racing prodigy Randy Lanier shot to stardom at the Indy 500—and funded his racing through a secret double life as one of the biggest pot kingpins in American history. Now, after serving nearly 30 years in prison, Lanier's tale of weed, speed and the road ahead highlights society's changing relationship with marijuana, and the legacy of those already incarcerated for it.

    Great story, Important topic
    As a former drug prosecutor, criminal defense attorney, and as an American voter, I so appreciate this story and every aspect into which this podcast delves. To be honest, I did skip through the first episode but the remainder held my attention and will stick with me as an important story that is well told and deserves attention. Consider me a fan!

    Money. Intrigue. Weed. Hop on it.
    An important story told with masterful storytelling. Smoked brings 1980s Miami to life while still staying relevant to Miami’s relationship with marijuana today. Money. Intrigue. Weed. What more could you want?

    Fun and informative
    The narrators did an excellent job of providing information, transitioning between interviews and giving background, and lacing it with real human interactions. The sound effects were timely and fun (I had missed the Miami Vice theme!). I'd love to hear more from them on other subjects.

    It’s such a fun production. The audio embellishments and music additions are quite entertaining.

    Ok
    It’s interesting and entertaining, but I think there are four episodes of material that were stretched into six.

    A great ride
    This podcast gets it all right — from the racing to the drug running to the characters on both sides of the drug war in South Florida.

    This has it all!
    This podcast has it all. Money, intrigue, crime, fast cars and a wild ride. What a way to explore a 1980s case through the lens of a changing world. A must-listen!

    Hope that Rat burns in hell
    Great podcast. Screw that rat Charles. I hope he burns. ‘I just had a child.’ So did the others.

    Absolutely fantastic content. I never knew anything about Randy Lanier before this, but it was perfect timing to release this after "Hot Shoe" Balough was on Dale Junior's podcast last week. Congrats on the great work!!

    Expertly crafted storytelling, solid journalism, and a riveting story about how much times have changed. Amidst the current debate over legalizing marijuana use and sales, this story tells the story of where we've been, juxtaposed against where it appears we are heading. As much as anything, listening to some of the sound from racing's yesteryears is such a gem. Fantastic podcast. Worth the listen!
