Plugging again the “Drugs on the Docket” podcast (with updated content) before hitting road
As noted in prior posts when the podcast was first released a few months ago, a set of six episodes comprises the first season, with each episode running under an hour. The whole original season is fully available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts and YouTube. And, excitingly, the “Drugs on the Docket” team (of which I am a member) has been spending recent few weeks recording some updated content through shorter recordings (under 20 minutes) covering new legal and policy developments related to issue each of the full episodes of Season 1. Some of these have already been released an a few more are forthcoming.
I have noted before my (admittedly biased) view that the curated discussions in this “Drugs on the Docket” podcast are all interesting and informative. Because I am eager to see this podcast grow its audience (and also because my colleagues at DEPC have worked remarkably hard to put this content together), I will keep using this space to encourage everyone to check out all the episodes (and I will keep welcoming substantive suggestions as we work on topics for Season 2).
Once again, here is how the podcast subject matter is generally described via this podcast webpage:
Drugs on the Docket is a production of the Drug Enforcement and Policy Center (DEPC) at The Ohio State University. Each episode explores how U.S. court rulings — primarily those handed down from the Supreme Court — impact drug law and policy and continue to shape the War on Drugs. Drugs on the Docket unpacks various ways courts have engaged with and responded to the opioid epidemic, police discretion, the sentencing disparities between crack and powder cocaine, and more. The series, hosted by Hannah Miller, invites guests with expertise in criminal justice, drug policy, and drug enforcement to help us break down the sometimes complex and always interesting stories behind today’s drug law landscape.
Drugs on the Docket is produced by DEPC’s Service Engagement Project Manager Hannah Miller and Public Engagement Specialist Holly Griffin. DEPC Executive Director Douglas A. Berman is our editorial advisor. Music by Joe DeWitt.
Especially since I will likely have less content in this blog space over the next 10 days, I hope many folks will take a few moments to check out the “Drugs on the Docket” podcast.
