I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

Actress Shannen Doherty, star of Beverly Hills, 90210 and Charmed, died over the weekend. She was 53 and was battling cancer. In a lot of ways, Shannen Doherty epitomized '90s pop culture. She starred in shows like "Beverly Hills, 90210" and "Charmed." Her characters were complex young women making their way through complicated rites of passage with friends and former friends, family and boyfriends. And at times, the line between her characters and her real life got blurry - for the public anyway. Doherty died over the weekend. She was 53 and had cancer. NPR pop culture critic Linda Holmes is here to remember her. Hi, Linda.

Hey there. It's Manoush... ZOMORODI: ...And this is the grand finale of BODY ELECTRIC Season 2. All this season, we've been getting off our screens and getting movement into our lives with special five-minute episodes. We have walked and talked with a physiologist, a world-famous memoirist, an emergency room doctor and many, many more. We have also done some longer episodes, investigating how wearing earbuds all the time is affecting us, what intimate relationships with chatbots are doing to our health - some good, we found out, some not so good - and what our tech use does to our breath. So in that breath episode, we heard from former Microsoft executive Linda Stone. She coined the term screen apnea, and we wanted to bring Linda back for this final episode because she has developed her own special technique to keep her tech from messing with her health and her breath. I find it incredibly inspiring, and it starts by always keeping a very special tool - a kazoo - next to her laptop.
