On episode three of the Woodstein Media Podcast, Eris Nyx, co-founder of the Drug User Liberation Front (DULF), talks about the episodic compassion club actions being done in Vancouver to make sure drug users have a safe, clean supply of drugs to prevent overdoses, changes she would like to see implemented regarding public education surrounding drug use, and the aesthetics of  DULF.

The interview for this episode was conducted in May 2022 via Zoom. It was initially going to be used as background information for an article that was going to examine the overdoses in the music industry, but it ended up being the primary source for an article that was part of a three-part series on harm reduction and Fentanyl overdose crisis.
