Michael Shellenberger, author of San Fransicko & Apocalypse Never, stops in to discuss the humanitarian crisis of addiction, mental illness, and homelessness happening in California right now. He and Bridget talk about how state-facilitated addiction camps are destroying the fabric of our cities, how supervised drug consumption sites work in other countries, how Fentanyl is crucifying a generation, what harm reduction actually means, why some people need to face jail time in order to get the help and independence they need, Michael's plan for policing, psychiatry & probation as an alternative to massive incarceration and massive homelessness, and why there's no reason California couldn't be a model for the world in terms of rehab programs and centers. Between the initial interview and its release Michael has announced that he is running for Governor of California to address these problems, and returns for a quick follow-up interview about his strategies to address the multitude of issues facing the state.

Walk-Ins Welcome with Bridget Phetasy - Podcast
Bridget Phetasy admires grit and authenticity. On Walk-Ins Welcome, she talks about the beautiful failures and frightening successes of her own life and the lives of her guests. She doesn’t conduct interviews—she has conversations. Conversations with real people about the real struggle and will remind you that we can laugh in pain and cry in joy but there’s no greater mistake than hiding from it all. By embracing it all, and celebrating it with the stories she’ll bring listeners, she believes that our lowest moments can be the building blocks for our eventual fulfillment.
