We are joined again today by one of our very first guests on the show. Sam Quinones is an award-winning journalist and the New York Times bestselling author of Dreamland: The True Tale of America's Opiate Epidemic.
Two years ago, Sam and I discussed how opioid addiction had transformed the health and healthcare landscape of our nation. Today, Sam is back to share with us his latest book, out now, The Least of Us: True Tales of America and Hope in the Time of Fentanyl and Meth.
His fascinating, in-depth reporting reveals the rapidly evolving drug epidemic that, while overshadowed by a global pandemic, has in many ways intensified. He also shares stories of hope that demonstrate we still have a path forward on this uniquely challenging public health crisis. And if you enjoy today's episode, I encourage you to go back and listen to our original discussion in Episode #12.
