Americans are living through the worst addiction epidemic in our nation’s history. Today, more Americans die each year from overdose than from car accidents and firearms with many of the worst casualties happening far from the media spotlight in rural communities and small towns in the Flyover States. Today’s guest is Dr. Kathleen Frydl. Dr. Frydl is a political historian and author of Drug Wars in America, 1940-1973, and The GI Bill. She is currently working on the history of Catholic hospitals in modern America.
