"Not Far From Me: Stories Of Opioids And Ohio"; Sports Memorabilia; Art Falco

We've heard so many of the staggering numbers associated with the on-going opioid epidemic.  Overdose deaths in Ohio in 2017 numbered 4,854.  Most of the deaths driven by opioids.  But behind every number is a story.  A new book edited by two health professors from Ohio University looks to put a human face on the numbers and break down stigma that remains around addiction.  We'll disuss the book "Not Far From Me" with the two professors who helped put it together.  They are in town for community dialogues. We'll hear from Playhouse Square longtime CEO Art Falco as he prepares to take his final bow.      And do you have sports collectibles piling up at home? We will discuss how you can get those items appraised during All-Star festivities.
