Every story has a legend. Now, for the first time, we'll hear from activist, entrepreneur, and former drug kingpin Freeway Rick Ross, the man whose real life inspired the hit TV series Snowfall. "After the Snow" is a new weekly after-show podcast that delivers its audience true tales of a world filled with ambition, empire-building, CIA conspiracies, and the multi-billion dollar international drug trade. Every Thursday, Ross and hip-hop mogul Dave Mays—along with special guests—break down Snowfall's latest episode in a compelling discussion, providing unique insight that only people who were there can tell you.
