Steven Slate

Today's guest is Steven Slate.

Steven is the creator of the multimedia educational blog site called The Clean Slate Addiction Site.  he is also co-author— with Mark Sheeren and Michelle Dunbar-- of the book, The Freedom Model for Addictions. the book is a detailed blueprint of their successful educational program called “The Freedom Model Retreats”

**********

Today's Talk

Many of you have pointed out that that I use the term addiction— something I believe is a useful concept as I define it-- and that Steven DOESN’T use the term. (In fact, he believes addiction does not exist.) So do we have some kind of disagreement, or can our differences be reduced to semantics?

Today we talk it out, and offer our respective suggestions about what addiction IS and IS NOT.

The conversation was fruitful. Thanks to Steve and a tip of the hat to the folks at The Freedom Model Retreats! I encourage people to visit Steve’s site and check out the book!

Today's Guest is Rory Fleming

Do you think American prisons are overcrowded? If so, do you know how many people are in prison now? How many FEWER prisoners should there be? Who should be let go sooner-- for what crimes?

We Americans largely agree on fundamental ethical principles, even when it comes to the justice system. But today's guest Rory Fleming provides some empirical answers about the best ways for us all to get a slice of the ethical, criminal justice flavored pie. 

Rory is a licensed attorney in the State of Minnesota (he also writes for several magazines); he is the founder of Foglight Strategies, a consulting firm to help elect progressive District Attorneys throughout the nation; and he is now on the FSDP advisory board.
