Talk to Me iHeartPodcasts Every American has been affected, either directly or indirectly, by the opioid epidemic -- but few of us really understand it, and it can be difficult to talk about. The stigma around misuse, addiction, and recovery are barriers to prevention and treatment. iHeartRadio’s new podcast Talk to Me will be a 6-10–episode series, in partnership with the National Opioid Action Coalition, that aims to reduce that stigma and open conversations. Hosts Holly Frey (Stuff You Missed in History Class) and Lauren Vogelbaum (BrainStuff) will present the stories of people whose lives have been changed by the epidemic in their own voices, from rock stars and comedians to medical professionals and recovery program founders. Talk to Me aims not to scare but to inspire hope, with an emphasis on education and empowerment. Interviewees include Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams, musician Nikki Sixx, former NFL player Randy Grimes, comedian Merf Meyer, SpiritWorks Foundation Executive Director Jan Brown, CDC Di Jonathan’s Podcast Jonathan Gordon I am recording my thoughts and research in connection to San Diego’s environment as part of my speech class. I hope to bring awareness to the damage being done to the local environment, and to inspire change so that we can make our human effect sustainable while also maintaining and protecting our beautiful ecosystems.

In the first season, students created a Quarantine Playlist. This playlist includes songs they love and that are helping bring calm and joy during this challenging time. In the second season, students conducted interviews with a friend or family member. These interviews cover a wide array of topics from life in the time of coronavirus to the Black Lives Matter Movement. These projects reflect the resilience of our students, as well as their ability to quickly acquire new skills and adapt to rapid changes to their learning environment. They also represent the diversity of interests and personalities of the members of our class. We hope that you enjoy listening to them!
