Hi everyone, this is Elise, the Managing Director of Pantsuit Politics.

Both of our regular episodes this week focused on the opioid crisis and its ripple effect

Our conversations about this issue are not just limited to the main show.

This content is available through both Patreon and Apple Podcast subscriptions.
