Meth is a problem - and a story - that isn't going away. In the 4th of a 5 part series, Patricia Murphy takes the listener up close and personal to the life of a meth cook. This piece, mainly told by the meth cook and his wife, is graphic, intense, scary and disturbing.
Patricia adds narrative to keep the story moving. Otherwise, she lets them tell it themselves. There are a couple questions left unanswered. While that's understandable in a short piece, I was left wondering how and why on two questions
1) the lead-up to their addiction
2) how long they continued this lifestyle after the tragic fire.
To their credit, KUOW put together a five part series on meth, offering answers as well as questions.
