On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Guest Host: Rebecca Roberts
Is there an epidemic of hard-core drug use in Washington’s most affluent suburbs? It’s the question some people are asking following reports that eighteen people have died of heroin overdoses this year in Fairfax County. We’ll put that number in context and talk with local experts about the best strategies for combating drug use among teens.
