Happy Thanksgiving! This week, we’re re-airing our very first episode of Last Day from Season One. In it, we meet host Stephanie Wittels Wachs, sister of the late Harris Wittels, comedian-writer-producer-actor, who died in 2015 of a heroin overdose. Harris’ close friends, Sarah Silverman and Aziz Ansari, also join Stephanie as she introduces the concept of the show and why it’s critical that it exists.

If you suspect someone you know is overdosing, call 911 - it’s important they get medical attention immediately. You can also contact SAMHSA’s National Helpline at 1-800-662-HELP for a free, confidential conversation with a trained substance use counselor anytime.
