Truth or D.A.R.E. with Max Felker-Kantor

Ross and Ryan are joined by historian Max Felker-Kantor to talk all about anti-drug films and Max's new book on the history of the infamous D.A.R.E. program. Together, they look at how drug abuse awareness programs have changed in America, how they haven't, the role that these films have in shaping our relationships to policing, and which Teenage Mutant Nina Turtle is appropriate for a conversation about not using marijuana.
