New Jersey has dedicated millions of dollars to fighting the opioid epidemic - most recently, $641 million from a national settlement with drug companies. Mike Dougherty tells us how that and previous money is going to be spent to treat people with addiction from a holistic, human perspective. Plus, Jay shares a personal story that demonstrates just how deep this crisis goes and how it affects almost everyone.

We also talk about a shortage on material to make Ukrainian flags, how Airbnb is being used to help Ukrainian people, and Dine Latino Restaurant Week in Philadelphia.

Hosted by Jay Scott Smith, hosted and produced by Sabrina Boyd-Surka and Brian Seltzer.
