The NEW FreepCast, Episode 6 — The Fentanyl Crisis

The latest episode of FreepCast features Managing Editor Joe Spear and reporter Brian Arola discussing the growing crisis of fentanyl use.

Fentanyl-related deaths have grown steadily the last few years, and Arola has been the reporter called upon most to cover that story.

In this episode, Spear and Arola discuss recent cases that have involved fentanyl use or sale, as well what's being done in the community to solve the problem, including the widespread use of drug Narcan, which can, in some cases, reverse the fatal effects of an opioid overdose.

They also discuss an upcoming Free Press series based on the fentanyl crisis.
