Ever wonder how to sell $100,000 worth of drugs in a week? We learned the secrets of a drug dealer in NYC—a man who will deliver any substance you want, 24/7. He told us everything—from where he gets his drugs to how his crew operates. Come with us as we take a rare look into the dangerous life of a NYC drug delivery-man.

We followed the story of the Westboro Baptist Church as families split and children were brainwashed into picketing funerals and bashing homosexuals. During that time, we interviewed more than a dozen members of the reviled group, including some of the only members not related by blood, the Drains. They welcomed us into their homes and gave us access to 17 years of home video footage. In return, we produced an unbiased look into the lives of one of America's most despised organizations.

We spent some time with the Rosaires, a tenth-generation circus family. Their animal sanctuary in Sarasota, Florida is an impressive collection of lions and tigers and bears and breastfeeding chimps, oh my!

We met up with Joe Crow Ryan, a well known NYC subway musician who uses music to overcome struggles with homelessness and the law. He's unemployed, and not looking, because he's "done with jobs."

We traveled by freight train to the 112th National Hobo Convention in Britt, Iowa, to see what was left of hobo life. We felt as if we were a pair of early Americans—pioneers far from home on a great adventure.

Ugandans are the hardest drinking Africans in the motherland, both in terms of per capita consumption and the hooch they choose to chug. Waregi, or "war gin," is what they call the local moonshine, and it makes the harshest Appalachian rotgut taste like freaking Bailey's.

After meeting Divya at a party in Brooklyn, we assumed she was into artisinal pickles and free-range tempeh. Turns out, killing animals and stuffing them is more her thing. We decided to go to the woods with her and have some fun with a woodchuck.

On my first day embedded with the UN stabilization force in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, I visited a camp in the city of Goma set up to house rebel combatants who had recently surrendered.
