Episode 185- Art Castro! This was a very special episode for me because we tackle two very important topics - homelessness and the opioid epidemic. Art has a YouTube channel called “Lost in Phoenix” where he interviews young people who are addicted to drugs and living on the streets of Phoenix. These stories are heartbreaking but there is hope and even some happy endings for some already. In this episode we discuss why Art became interested in this topic, the specifics of fentanyl, some of the cases from his videos, and how you can help.
