Episode 59: The Regressive Pseudoscience of Our "War on Opioid Addiction"

from The Appeal

On our last episode of the year we're doing something a little different: Joining us to co-host this week is Appeal contributor Zach Siegel, who's a journalism fellow at Northeastern University Law School's Health in Justice Action Lab, to discuss false narratives around drug addiction and how prisons are increasingly employing puritanical pseudoscience in the so-called "War on Opioid Addiction". We will also be joined by our guest, Lev Facher of STAT News.
