This hour -- from Maine to New Hampshire; Vermont to Massachusetts -- we learn how some of our New England neighbors are working to stem opioid addiction and overdose. 

We also check in with WNPR reporter Patrick Skahill. His new two-part series takes an in-depth look at prescription drug disposal. We find out what you're really supposed to do with all your old, unused medications.

GUESTS:

  • Deborah Becker - Senior correspondent and host at WBUR
  • Susan Sharon - Deputy news director at Maine Public Broadcasting Network
  • Howard Weiss-Tisman - Southern Vermont correspondent for Vermont Public Radio
  • Jack Rodolico - Health and science reporter at New Hampshire Public Radio
  • Patrick Skahill - WNPR’s science and environment reporter and host of The Beaker
