A (first) weekend plug for Season 1 of “Drugs on the Docket” podcast

In this Monday post, I flagged that the Drug Enforcement and Policy Center at The Ohio State University released Season One of a new podcast, “Drugs on the Docket.”  As mentioned there, all six episodes of this first season are now available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts and YouTube.   

In my (admittedly biased) view, the various curated discussions in this “Drugs on the Docket” podcast are all quite interesting and informative.  And because I am quite eager to see this podcast develop and audience (and also because my colleagues at DEPC have worked remarkably hard to put this content together), I am sure to keep using this space to encourage everyone to check out the first set of episodes.  

Once again, here is how the podcast subject matter is 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.

Check it out, makes for great weekend listening.
