Host Tayla talks with the author of Prescription for Pain, Philip Eli, about his debut book. Prescription for Pain explores the career of Dr. Paul Volkman and its culmination in 4 life sentences for prescription drug dealing. They also get into the true crime Philip is reading, space tourism, and sitcoms set in schools. In the Last Chapter they discuss: Would you rather have the ability to understand another language but only when reading or be able to transport to the location you are reading about?
