The Reporter Newspapers is launching a new podcast series called "Reporter Extra," where we will take you behind the scenes of stories that matter in our communities. The first episode will go deeper into our four-part series "Coping with a Crisis: Opioid Addiction in the Suburbs," with reporter Max Blau and Dunwoody Police Sgt. Robert Parsons. While the podcast will be available next week, we will experiment with Facebook Live video of the conversation as well starting around 10:45 a.m. today. If you can't watch live, the video will remain on our Facebook page. And if there's a technical hitch, we'll aim to get a recorded video up as soon as possible.
