    Fantastic start to what promises to be a very useful, informative, and entertaining show. You asked for suggestions, and I couldn’t help but wonder if you were planning to talk about things that some folks tend to ignore as drugs such as alcohol and tobacco. Or maybe even caffeine. There is a copious amount of disinformation about these things floating about that mayhap you could help to dispell?

    Looking ever forward to the next show.

    A fine start friends!

    There were so many times I wish I could stop you and say… “Tell me more about this!” or “that … that you just touched on… dying to know more about that!”

    But I come to this as a curious bystander, so I’d expect my wishes to be met only after the people who kinda need it more get what they are after!!

    What I was particularly curious about was elements of the life of a drug user. What’s the day like? What’s a day in the life? You mentioned injecting up to 15 times… my mind races… 24 hours in a day, somewhere you got to get the stuff, somehow work out how to pay for it, fit sleep in there somewhere… sounds like a very full day and I’m crazy curious to know how it’s spent.

    I’m very curious about people, and when you learn about them, you get past typecasts and it’s hard to judge them, no matter what walk of life they’re in. Uh, hope that wasn’t too trite.

    Big love, keep it up, Kev.

    Hear, hear. I for one would love to have the full skinny on alcohol, given how often I see the effects of long term use at work most weekends. Fantastic show, and well done Simply Syndicated for giving us a drugs podcast that treats the listener as a person able to make up their own mind. Anyone who presumes this show is encouraging drug use is, frankly, part of the problem.

    This was an absolutely informative show. I’ve learned more during this podcast than what I’ve learned my entire life on this subject. You guys are truly good people. I can’t wait to hear future episodes, especially alcohol and marijuana.

    Thanks for the great reviews folks. Hopefully Richard will be able to get a Hooked forum sorted on SS soon so we can start getting requests for new shows and more feedback on existing ones. (In the meantime feel free to post on the forum on my site if you like.)

    I like the idea of a caffeine show, and of something on a day in the life. We’ll see what we can do for you.

    An incredibly inane thing to say, but I just switched the episode on and WOW! Nigel’d Voice!!! I love it!
