Today we talk with Alistair who uses heroin, about his experience of the pandemic. The pandemic has truly posed many unexpected challenges for our society, including how to support people who were regularly using drugs when everyone was required to stay at home.

We also talk to Peter who explains what happened to his friends who were homeless, and to Dr Nico Clark, who runs the injecting room facility in North Richmond about the public health response.

This episode features Alistair, Peter and Dr Nico Clark.
