S2 E9: Sam Quinones on Addiction, Community, and Finding Hope Amidst an Epidemic
On this week’s episode, we sit down with Sam Quinones to discuss the contents of his books Dreamland and Least of Us, the neuroscience of addiction, and the reasons why he feels hopeful about our future as a nation navigating an opioid epidemic.
Sam is a journalist and author of four books of narrative nonfiction. Sam’s landmark book Dreamland: The True Tale of America's Opiate Epidemic won a National Book Critics Circle award for Best Nonfiction and ignited awareness of the opioid epidemic happening in the United States. Sam’s latest book, The Least of Us: True Tales of America and Hope in the Time of Fentanyl and Meth explores the emergence of unprecedented drug-trafficking in the US, contrasted with stories of Americans recovering community through simple acts of service and care.
