Dopey Podcast is the world's greatest podcast on drugs, addiction and dumb shit. Chris and I were two IV heroin addicts who loved to talk about all the coke we smoked, snorted and shot, all the pills we ate, smoked, all the weed we smoked and ate, all the booze we consumed and all the consequences we suffered. After making the show for 2 and a half years, Chris tragically relapsed and died from a fentanyl overdose. Dopey continued on, at first to mourn the horrible loss of Chris, but then to continue our mission - which was at its core, to keep addicts and alcoholics company. Whether to laugh at our time in rehab, or cry at the worst missteps we made, Dopey tells the truth about drugs, addiction and recovery. We continually mine the universe for stories rife with debauchery and highlight serious drug taking and alcoholism. We also examine different paths toward addiction recovery.

Four score and seven minutes ago (about an hour and a half) your physician brought forth, upon her desk, a new prescription, conceived in best medical practice, and dedicated to the proposition that all generics are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civilian war, testing whether that medication, or any medication so conceived, and so dedicated, can help us long endure. And maybe we can feel good at the same time. For forty years as a pharmacist, I've been building bridges - from the doctor to those in need of important drug information - you.

If the little angel and devil from your shoulders ever hung out without you and made a podcast, this is probably what it would sound like. Equal parts wholesome and horrific, Mormon and the Meth-head is about one unlikely friendship. Jessa and Aaron have led two completely different lives. While Aaron was stopping strangers on the streets of Milan to teach them about Joseph Smith, Jessa was teaching dudes how to keister meth while blowing them in Arby's bathrooms across Portland. But as Aaron lets go of his strict Mormon lifestyle and begins his descent into the depravity of the secular world, Jessa acts as his ferryman, telling him about disgusting, hedonistic things he never could have imagined, like 'butt stuff' and 'coffee.' And Aaron returns the favor, helping Jessa navigate new and foreign social situations like 'accepting hugs from loved ones' and 'having loved ones.' In their respective routines, they each tackle the topics of love, sex, drugs, and alcohol, but with polar opposite perspectives. Audiences get to see their world through Aaron's naive, innocent eyes as well as through Jessa's bleary, bloodshot ones. more

C'è una nuova epidemia negli Stati Uniti. Non è un virus. Non si trasmette nell'aria. Ma miete più vittime di qualsiasi guerra recente. Si chiama Fentanyl: un oppiaceo sintetico 50 volte più potente dell'eroina, facile da produrre, impossibile da fermare. Una sostanza che ha stravolto il panorama delle città americane al punto da dettare l'agenda al governo Trump che, proprio in ragione dell'emergenza, ha imposto la prima tornata di dazi contro la Cina, accusata di fomentare il traffico. In sei episodi, Biagio Simonetta, racconta la crisi che sta devastando città e famiglie americane, partendo da un dettaglio di cronaca: la morte di Prince, icona pop scomparsa per un'overdose silenziosa. È un viaggio dentro l'inferno contemporaneo tra i vicoli di San Francisco e i laboratori clandestini del Messico. Tra broker cinesi che vendono chimica di morte online, pusher che offrono dosi di Fentanyl come fossero caramelle e cartelli che lo usano come nuova arma globale. Un racconto giornalistico, crudo, personale. Che si avvale delle testimonianze - fra gli altri - dei giornalisti Francesco Costa e Victor Hugo Michel, del tossicologo Carlo Locatelli. Un podcast per capire non solo cosa sta succedendo in America, ma cosa potrebbe arrivare — prima o poi — anche qui. 'Fentanyl, la molecola del diavolo' è un podcast di Biagio Simonetta prodotto da Il Sole 24 Ore.
