    Surviving El Chapo Returns for Season 2 Oct 04, 2023

    Hey Scamanda listeners! We wanted to let you know about the return of Lionsgate Sound's Surviving El Chapo: The Twins Who Brought Down A Drug Lord.

    It follows the story of the Flores twins, who after becoming El Chapo's right hand men, turned themselves over to the US authorities and cooperated against El Chapo to bring him down. Season 2 begins as they are taken into US custody and have to adjust to prison life before testifying in court against the world's most notorious drug lord. And there's a massive bombshell as the twins' wives now find themselves going to prison because of what they did.
