Lawless Planet

It’s not that hard to kill a planet. All it takes is a little drilling, some mining, a generous helping of pollution and voila! Earth over. When you take stock of what’s left, it starts to look like a crime scene: Decapitated mountains, poisoned rivers, oil-soaked pelicans, maybe a sun-bleached cow skull in a dried-up lake bed. The only thing missing is yellow caution tape. On each episode of Lawless Planet, host Zach Goldbaum reveals the scams, murders and cover-ups on the frontline of the climate crisis, and the life and death choices people are making to either protect our world – or destroy it.

Who Blew Up the Nord Stream Pipeline?
Less than a year after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, a series of undersea explosions rocked the Baltic Sea. The target: the Nord Stream pipelines, which supply Russian natural gas to Western Europe. The attack caused over $1 billion in damage and the largest methane leak in recorded history. But who was behind it?   Special thanks to: Holger Stark Be the first to know about Wondery’s newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

A Gorilla Massacre in Africa's Oldest National Park
In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, a massacre of gorillas in Virunga National Park highlights the constant threat of violence from militias, poachers and gangsters.

Operation Wasteland
For nearly 40 years, New York’s private waste removal industry was the domain of the mob, until an undercover cop risked everything to take it down.

A Polygamist Cult-Leader’s Billion-Dollar Biofuel Scam
