Episode Details

Your Heard Tell Show for Thursday, July the 7th, is turning down the noise and getting to the information we need on shocking news out of Japan as former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is gunned down in public during a campaign speech. We discuss supply chain challenges and shortages, working of a Houston Chronicle piece about which products are getting scarce on the shelves and why. Our guest today is journalist Courtney Hessler of the Hearld-Dispatch in Huntington, West Virginia who has been covering the opioid trials there. Courtney will explain the legal rulings that came down this week, background on the opioid crisis in Huntington, and the legal, political, and cultural issues surrounding it. Also, Courtney helps to put a human face on the issue of addiction that too often slides into stereotypes, raw numbers, and lack of caring for the people who are suffering the most and need the most help. We go back overseas to London where a busy news week that saw the resignation of PM Boris Johnson also had a moment of levity outside the halls of parliament, we will explain how an iconic tv show theme hijacked the proceedings. Finally, we go to Cleveland where a celebrity chef is bringing back a charity event. All that and more on this Friday edition of Heard Tell.
