On January 25, 2024 I, Laura Crago — the host of the Alter Eagle podcast — sat down with U.S. Representative Mike Kelly, R-16th, to discuss stigma surrounding addiction, the future of legislation and the loss of potential. Rep. Kelly and I had a brief conversation and a long conversation to come this season surrounding those topics.
