Beth Macy Examines the Opioid Crisis in Rural America — and Finds Hope

Losing the steady paychecks that factory jobs provide can decimate
a community, with ripple effects hitting nearly every corner of
town. Unfortunately, many former manufacturing centers, like much
of rural America, are grappling with an opioid crisis as community
members face uncertain futures. But there's hope. In this episode,
host Scott Paul and Beth Macy, award-winning journalist and author
of "Dopesick: Dealers, Doctors, and the Drug Company that Addicted
America" and "Factory Man," discuss the drug epidemic sweeping
America and what we can do to help.
