A conversation with Angie Duncan, who describes herself as "The Amarillo Narcan Lady." She's the founder of the nonprofit Texas Panhandle Overdose Awareness. She has made it her mission to give out, as often as possible, the over-the-counter nasal spray Narcan®/naloxone, which can be used to reverse the effects of opioid overdose. In fact, she says several local people have been rapidly rescued from overdoses by this life-saving drug. Duncan shares her personal story with host Jason Boyett about how a fentanyl overdose impacted her family, and why conversations about Narcan can be uncomfortable in this area. This episode is supported by La-Z-Boy of Amarillo and Panhandle Plains Historical Museum.
