Episode description

Did you know that a town of 382 people had over 12 million opioid pain pills distributed in a three year period? From a Pulitzer Prize–winning reporter, from the smallest newspaper ever to win the prize in the investigative reporting category, an urgent, riveting, and heartbreaking investigation into the corporate greed that pumped millions of pain pills into small Appalachian towns, decimating communities.
