On The Sound of Ideas, we'll talk about the difference a healthy beginning makes in a person's life, previewing the next few months of health coverage here at ideastream. Then, how the opioid epidemic is leading to a new problem - opioid-dependent babies. We'll talk with doctors in the area about how they're weaning infants and mothers off the addiction. Plus, Mythbusters host, Adam Savage, is in Cleveland to inspire innovation in our community. We’ll discuss how the “maker movement” can help revive Northeast Ohio.
