To use or not to use? That is the question! This back-to-school episode explores the opportunity for parents and caregivers to support their kids in making "One Choice" not to use substances (alcohol, marijuana, nicotine and beyond) now and as they start a new school year. Find out how many kids choose not to use today versus when parents were in high school (you’ll be surprised). Also hear from Dr. Caroline Dupont and Corinne Shea of The Institute for Behavior and Health (IBH) as they discuss the rationale behind, and benefits of, choosing not to use.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
