Last Day Lemonada Media

Andy Slavitt, President Biden’s Senior Advisor on COVID-19, is back from the White House to his chair on the award-winning In the Bubble podcast. Just as he took us through the pandemic, this 10-week series called Our Shot is about leading us out. It’s an insider’s guide for getting closure on what happened, how we emerge, and what must come next. Andy is joined each week by Dr. Lisa Fitzpatrick, who takes you places we couldn’t go during the pandemic. Special guests include leaders we rarely get to see drop their guard the way they do on this podcast. Andy gives listeners information and inspiration from his bubble every Monday and Wednesday.

A never-aired Last Day Season 2 episode!

Tara Consolino is the Director of Suicide Prevention and Substance Use Disorders at the Detroit V.A. - she had so many great suggestions for how to support someone with PTSD that they couldn't all fit into one episode! We're happy to share the rest of her interview with our Apple supporters!

We've got another bonus episode for you!

Stephanie is joined by Ruben Castaneda for a thought-provoking conversation. In 2018, the National Press Foundation chose Mr. Castaneda as one of 15 journalists nationwide to participate in a deep dive seminar into reporting on the opioids crisis. During the height of the crack epidemic that decimated the streets of D.C., Ruben Castaneda covered the crime beat for the Washington Post.

Harvard epidemiologist Ron Kessler joins Stephanie to talk about what factors might be contributing to the rise in suicide rates among active duty Army personnel and veterans, and what we can do to prevent these suicides in the first place.

We’re not done yet! We are back with an encore episode to respond to all of your amazing feedback over the course of the season. Stephanie, Jackie and Dr. Robin Hornstein (Jackie’s high school therapist who you might remember from episode 10) answer listener voicemails, emails, and DMs about season two. Come for the insight, stay for the montage of Stephanie losing her mind behind the mic.
