Xylazine, also known as Tranq, is causing a horrific wave of drug deaths across America. It's mixed with the opioid named fentanyl to cause a cheaper, longer-lasting, yet more dangerous high. Perhaps the most shocking effect is its ability to rot the flesh around the injection site. Megan Cohen is the founder of The Grace Project in Philadelphia. She runs an outreach scheme on Kensington Avenue, home to the largest open air drugs market on the East Coast. She joined Alex Andreou in The Bunker to discuss the serious threat Tranq poses. “These aren't zombies out there, they're people impacted by the disease of addiction.” – Megan Cohen “What we noticed is the doses were stronger and the overdoses were happening more often.” – Megan Cohen “What we're seeing is that narcan isn't reversing overdoses as it was before, because of xylazine.” – Megan Cohen “When it comes to the wounds we still don't have answers.” – Megan Cohen Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/bunkercast  Written and presented by Alex Andreou.

Throughout the U.S., approximately 95 percent of incarcerated individuals will inevitably return to their communities, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, but a person's successful reentry is not as sure to happen.

A live recording of a GBA recorded at #edfringe 2014 at the Royal Oak as part of the PBH Free Fringe. This recording is unedited and posted in a no frills way due to the intensive workload of the festival, and for that reason these shows will also not have shownotes attached to them. 22nd August: Megan Cohen: http://plays.megancohen.com/ Megan Cohen is playwright, friend to the meek, and transmedia cultural juggernaut. Member of San Francisco Neo-Futurists. She is doing her solo show Take Me Home at #edfringe 2014.

The SF Neo-Futurists expand upon their 2 minute play format and continue their Jan. 2014 occupation of our show. Matt Pine cuts his 7 minutes on our stage SHORT and then Megan Cohen steps up to demonstrate just how LONG she can be. No matter the duration, everyone ends up a winner (except for the loser).

Megan Cohen talks for a while about things she doesn't understand before reveling in the fabulous decadency of the 60s (oh, and a miracle occurs!) then Sonya Renee blows minds and turns a prompt on its ear by exploding the un-fabulous-ness of the 50s. WRITE CLUB SF's month of numerical inspiration continues to take us on a road trip through history and into the future!

"The Snow Maiden" is a tale from Russia that symbolizes the determination to find hope and cheer in the long harsh winters. In some versions, there is an additional motif about the importance of trust and the dire consequences of not trusting - somewhat similar to the German legend of "Lohengrin", among others. It was such a version of this story that we included in one of our productions 16 years ago, when we were just touring the San Francisco Bay Area. Zephyr, of course, was a baby at the time, and we hired other performers to round out the cast. For this production, our additonal performer was 8-year-old Megan Cohen, the first homeschooled child we ever met.Well, for this podcast, we are fortunate enough to have another very talented youngster fill the role: Devon Wood, a 10-year-old Iowan whom we met last year when we did a residency at her school. She and her mother and aunt drove many miles to see us perform this week at a school in Altoona, Iowa. We wanted so much to use Devon's talents on our podcast that we recorded it ahead of schedule, before we'd even outlined a script. No problem: she can improvise with the best of us, and everything you hear her say just came off the top of her head.  Bicycling CapitalWe also discuss our recent visit to Sparta, Wisconsin, which bills itself the Bicycling Capital of America. In addition to being the home of the world's largest bicycle, the town is the site of the intriguing Deke Slayton Memorial Space and Bike Museum. Space and bicycles in the same facility?? Hey, why not. Weren't Wilbur and Orville bicycle mechanics?Deke Slayton, one of the Mercury 7 astronauts, grew up in Sparta and attended Sparta High School. Alongside memorabilia of his distingusihed career, you can view some really incredible speicmens of bicycle design from the entire history of the critter, including some about which very little is known. See an ice skating bike with a blade insted of a front wheel, a lawnmower bike with mower blades up front (the Huffy), a velocipede, a Draisine, and other contraptions too numerous to mention. (And this is only half the museum's collection--the others are in storage!) Oh yes, and there's a delightfully dreadful bike safety film from 1963 called "One Got Fat", which has kids riding bikes wearing hokey monkey masks and tails, and meeting their demise one by one when they ignore various safety rules. (The tenth rider in the group, the only human, follows the rules and survives, and is therefore able to gorge on the lunches of everyone else--thus the title.) It's amazing to think this film - narrated by the superannuated Edward Everett Horton, who among other things narrated the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons - was actually shown to school students, some of whom it may have traumatized for life. But as a kitschy relic, it alone is worth a visit to the museum.And we mustn't forget the gift shop, in which you can purchase bicycle-shaped pasta. How could we possibly pass that up!Happy Listening!Dennis (the narrator), Kimberly (Marfa) and Zephyr (Vasili) Gozawith Devon Wood as the Snow MaidenP.S.
