"Not Far From Me"

The Unhooked Podcast

In this conversation, Dr. Daniel Skinner and Berkeley Franz open up the amazing book written from the front-lines of the opioid epidemic from all over the state of Ohio. "Not Far From Me" is published by the Ohio State University Press and is a beautiful collaboration of stories ranging from first responders, to poets and prison cells, to grieving family members, librarians, school teachers and administrators and even a chapter written by me! This book paints a portrait of families and communities not only ravaged by addiction - but many times more open and stronger as a result of the great suffering the epidemic has caused. Listen in to the heartfelt experiences of those from all over Ohio, the heart of it all; where the opioid epidemic that has swept the nation not only has many of its roots, but also from where hope, strength and recovery continue to rise.
