“The first time I bought heroin from a child was in the city of Leicester in 2001. At the time it was quite shocking. Of course, now it’s the norm. You’re more likely to be buying off children than not.”

Thank you @msmirandasawyer.bsky.social for the wonderful write-up.

Such a wonderful interview - @helenpidd.bsky.social . Really fantastic episode.
Today's episode is special - a bit of a weepy one but joyous too. @johnharris1969.bsky.social on how music — especially the Beatles and Kraftwerk — bridged a communication gap between him and his autistic son, James. We spent an afternoon in Somerset with them www.theguardian.com/news/audio/2...
