The first season, airing weekly on Wednesdays through Spring 2020, is focused on the opioid crisis. As part of the series, Wittles Wachs and Cordova Kramer are crossing the nation to hold live town halls, starting at the Manova Summit, to have localized conversations about the opioid crisis, focusing with those affected and local leaders on solutions and hope.
