The #MarisolNicholsPodcast is a thrilling new true crime show that follows the daring, real-life exploits of actress Marisol Nichols as she operates, off-screen, as a contracted undercover operative, assisting global law enforcement in infiltrating the $150 billion per year human trafficking industry. Marisol Nichols (RIVERDALE’s Hermione Lodge) has spent years working undercover without her Hollywood pals knowing much about her adventures away from TV & Film production sets. This no-holds-barred program takes you behind the scenes inside secret operations to break up child sex-trafficking rings and explores how she applies her acting skills to establish a mindset before immersing herself in these dangerous situations. Marisol analyzes the latest technologies used by human traffickers to lure their victims, reveals the tactics used by the good guys to fight back, and provides an up-close look at the global battle to preserve innocence.
