About this episode:

Back-to-back crises of the opioid epidemic and COVID-19 have pummeled American communities, eroding trust in public health. But what if restoring that trust could start with a simple conversation? In this episode: Maggie Bartlett shares how she's using her platform as co-host of the podcast, "Why Should I Trust You?", to forge human connections with those who feel left out of public health conversations and to debunk misinformation about measles, vaccines, and corporate influence.
