My son Max returns to the show to talk about how one's views of addiction can be shaped by the different ways it is depicted in fictional media. We also discuss how crucial it is for society to destigmatize addiction. The discussion of this episode is focused primarily on the Broadway musical Jagged Little Pill and the 2019 Elton John biopic Rocketman. Max is currently a sophomore in the Journalism School at the University of Missouri. He combines his knowledge of the media, his writing skills, and his heart to touch everyone.
