So important
The journalism in this podcast is top-notch. These stories come at a time when the opioid crisis in this country is devastating families all over America and are stories that need to be heard. The solution to this crisis will require sharing information about addiction and life-saving drugs (which this podcast does very well), and will require thinking outside the box in some of the ways this podcast highlights.
informative
It is great to listen to a story set in our own backyard (Seattle) this podcast is sad, but hopeful. it only addresses a tiny bit of the issue, but it addresses that bit quite well. I recommend this to anyone who is affected directly or indirectly (we are all affected indirectly) by addiction. Good job to the finding fixes peeps - i look forward to season 2
In depth, realistic, hopeful
They clearly took the time to get to know the people they're reporting on. Reminds me a bit of NPR's Embedded but with a focus on solutions.
