Latest episode of "Drugs on the Docket" podcast features USSC Chair Carlton Reeves

350x350bbIn this post, I highlighted that the Drug Enforcement and Policy Center at The Ohio State University had been releasing episodes from Season Two of the "Drugs on the Docket" podcast.  (All of the first season's episodes are all still available via Apple Podcasts and YouTube, where you can also find all released Season 2 episodes as well.)   And now, as detailed on this podcast webpage, we just recently released the fifth episode of this new season. 

This exciting new episode captures an extended discussion with Judge Carlton Reeves, Chair of the U.S. Sentencing Commission.  This discussion took place back in March not long after Judge Reeves had delivered the 2024 Menard Family Lecture on Drug Policy and Criminal Justice at The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law (which can be watched here).  Though taped a few months ago, the release of this episode seems especially timely because the Commission has scheduled this big public meeting for this coming Thursday, August 8, 2024, to discuss, inter alia, its priorities for the coming year.  In the podcast Judge Reeves discusses at length how the Cmmission goes about setting its priorities and other aspects of the agency's work. 

From the this podcast webpage, here is this episode's description along with  show notes:

Season 2 Episode 5 – A Special Conversation with the Honorable Carlton W. Reeves, Chair of the U.S. Sentencing Commission
