Life is never simple. This podcast is a must listen for any healthcare professional or anyone who has a friend or family member who has an addiction.

This really is an unflinching perspective on what harm reduction looks like in practice. These spaces serve an important function for something that is happening. People aren’t going to die somewhere alone or spread diseases to themselves or others needlessly. It also has some uncomfortable...Read full review »

I stumbled across this by accident, which is an absolute travesty- it should get way more press- but ultimately I’m so glad I found it, and have shared it multiple times! I have long wanted to work in harm reduction and community work, and have had a lot of adjacent experience with clients in...Read full review »

An interesting journey through addiction.

This series really opened my eyes to people’s realities and the variety of different people and stories are involved in these communities. Michelle’s journalistic skills are impeccable and I have recommended this to everyone and anyone, I can’t stop talking and thinking about it. It’s...Read full review »

This series will reshape the way you think about addiction and harm reduction.

I love this podcast. Giving a platform to real people who have stories that deserve to be heard. 🧡

A look into the lifesaving practice of harm reduction in an Australian safe injection site. And a wonderful destigmatisation of a sensitive subject, with the voices of participants and workers. As an Melbourne boy who left to work in this field before this IR existed, I’m so glad to hear...Read full review »

This series is incredibly affecting and engaging. Michelle Ransom-Hughes displays her great sensitivity and empathy as an interviewer - and oh those interviewees - thank you to each and every one of you for bringing the voice of lived experience to this series. You can hear people's truth in...Read full review »

Sensitivity made, instructive and inspiring. Love the description of workers as angels. The soundscape is carefully composed and mixed too. Joy to listen to.

There's many ways Michelle Ransom-Hughes could have taken this series. She could've true-crimed it and presented all the gory details of heroin use. She could've created a sensational treatment that we find in so many romaticized drug stories. Or she could've taken a moralistic...Read full review »

This is a sensitive and compelling audio portrait of staff and clients at the Melbourne Self Injecting Room. A must listen for anyone wondering what kinds of initiatives can actually make a difference in the fraught landscape of drug use and abuse.

An incredible series, all the more astonishing that it’s produced almost entirely by one person (and in a consultative manner with all of the marginalised subjects of its storytelling). A rare opportunity to hear directly and at length from people who inject drugs – many of whom may also be read...Read full review »
