CW: Addiction, Suicide, Childhood Trauma

This episode consists of a series of interviews with Donny, a man from my local community who has been experiencing homelessness over the past six years. He was a union electrician foreman who was injured twice while working on laying fiber optic along a railroad right-of-way, his second injury put him out of work for good. This was the early 2000's, and his doctor prescribed him three 80mg oxycontin daily, the drug pushed by Purdue Pharma that is considered responsible for kicking off the opioid epidemic in the US. We talk about how the medication led to heroin, prison, and homelessness.
