155: The Heroin Diaries (Ben Boyce & Meghan Cosgrove)

Ben Boyce Season 1 Episode 155

This week friend of the show Meghan Cosgrove stopped by to interview me in our ongoing series about previously incarcerated people who have used education to find a pathway to success. Long time listeners have heard pieces of my story, but I've seldom stopped to dig deep into what happened to me and why my life went the way it went. We talk about prison education, addiction, religious trauma, heroin injection versus snorting, bank robbery, free will, teaching in prison, and lots more.  FYI, the 1963 Impala I talk about rolling at the end was actually a 1967 (my dad remembered)
