Let’s Talk About Drugs is a look back through the KUT archives at some of the conversation that has swirled around drugs since the late ‘60s.

You’ll hear archival audio from the legendary gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson, Dr. Theodore X. Barber, the noted psychologist, and Dr. Joel Fort, author of The Pleasure Seekers and a leading figure on the drug debate in the early ‘70s. NPR’s John Burnett, who has been reporting on “The War on Drugs” for the last 20 years, is just one of the experts who will put these archival recordings in context. KUT’s Rebecca McInroy produced and host Let’s Talk About Drugs.
