Podcast Radio Hour - Tough Talking

Podcasts can be a vital tool in exploring tough topics, this week Amanda Litherland is joined by Chrystal Genesis to recommend great series which tackle issues such as addiction and recovery.

We hear from Melissa Rice and Jade Wye, hosts of BBC Radio 5 Live's Hooked: The Unexpected Addicts, a series which only began a year ago after winning the Rachel Bland New Podcast Award, and has now won the Broadcasting Press Guild award for Radio Programme Of The Year.

Dave from Dopey podcast dials in from New York to tell us how his podcast helps thousands of recovering addicts and their loved ones around the world.

We also hear excerpts from BBC Sounds' Jacob Hawley on Drugs, and Wondery's Dying For Sex.
