Summary: This two-part feature examines drug addiction from multiple perspectives—addict, counselor, parent and teacher—to provide listeners with a more complex understanding of how one person’s addiction can affect and inspire every life it touches.
great topic, I think the face of addiction needs to be more honest, that most are functional. Yearned for more than the success story though... less "sugared up" and delving into what triggered the addiction to begin with? How did this guy actually live in the so-called underbelly, yet progress. Why is the only nat sound that of a grandfather clock? This piece (re-worked) could be paired with other features on similar themes...
