Episode: Beth Macy (Author of Dopesick) Exposes Billionaire Family Behind Opioid Crisis
Description: Beth Macy is a journalist and the author of the 2018 New York Times-bestselling book, DOPESICK: Dealers, Doctors, and the Drug Company That Addicted America. A dramatized adaptation of the book debuted on Hulu as an eight-episode limited series on October 13, 2021. For DOPESICK, Macy drew upon thirty years of reporting from southwest Virginia communities. Her work has long sought to bring attention to outsiders and underdogs — the largely voiceless people left behind by growing inequality, technology, and globalization.
