On this episode of The Zach Show, Michael Clune discusses his eleven-year long year battle with heroin use, his double life between the streets of Baltimore and the college classroom, the "magic" of the first time, which films depict heroin addiction most realistically, good times with 'Fun Boy,' the long road of recovery, advice for addicts, standup comedy, the realities of the fentanyl crisis, and more.

Guest bio: Michael Clune is the award-winning author of 'White Out: The Secret Life Of Heroin' and a Professor of Humanities at Case Western Reserve University. Michael's essays have appeared in Harper’s—where he is a contributing editor—Critical Inquiry, Behavioral and Brain Sciences, The Atlantic, Best American Essays, PMLA, and elsewhere. His work has been supported by fellowships from the Guggenheim and Mellon Foundations, and his books have appeared on “best of the year” lists from The New Yorker, NPR, and elsewhere.
