Join us every weekday morning for the messy, delightful, complicated conversations that Las Vegans are having: You’ll hear us ask hard questions about where we’ll get our water when Lake Mead runs out, and how we’ll keep housing affordable. We’ll argue over our favorite Chinatown bars, and share insider tips on the best tacos in town. City Cast Las Vegas will show you how loving a city means celebrating it and also holding it accountable, while having some fun along the way—because Las Vegans know how to have a good time.

But as they head to a weekend of debauchery and – for many, substance use – some revelers are opting to take advantage of free Naloxone (also known as Narcan), which can quickly reverse the effects of an opioid overdose. The drug has existed for decades, but only recently became the linchpin in nationwide efforts to staunch the opioid epidemic. So what changed? Host Jesse Merrick sits down with Leah Shepherd, executive director of the nonprofit Victoria’s Voice, to discuss what EDC-goers can tell us about how regular people are helping end the opioid crisis.
