This Day in History Class iHeartPodcasts and HowStuffWorks From the desk of “Stuff You Missed in History Class,” “This Day in History Class” quickly recounts a tidbit from today’s events in history. 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 Assassination of JFK Nadia Hackney In this episode of Stuff You Missed in Woods’ History Class, Max and Nadia discuss the assassination of JFK and multiple conspiracies behind it.
