Like millions of people around the world, Jay and Shannon have been watching season 2 of “Euphoria”, an HBO series that follows a group of high school students through their experiences of identity, trauma, friendship, love, and sex. The main character, Rue (played by Zendaya), struggles with addiction, and Shannon and Jay are discussing this on the podcast today. The conversation was recorded before the season finale and covers:
- their thoughts on the way addiction is portrayed in the show
- the feelings and triggers each experienced while watching
- examples of personal experiences that are similar to certain scenes

FYI: you do not have to watch Euphoria to follow along with the conversation. Additionally, addiction is just 1 of several storylines, so this episode won’t spoil the show for you if you plan to watch sometime.
