In this week's podcast episode Annie and Laurie interview recently retired Judge Scott Vanderkarr, from Columbus, Ohio's Drug Court. Scott left the bench to spread the word about Drug Courts being needed in every court setting across the nation.

Scott tells us about all he is currently doing to bring hope and change to families who are dealing with the crisis of addiction.
