9 - The Criminalization of HIV Transmission
Explicit content warning
05/18/20 • 52 min
Aamer and Erin discuss the criminalization of HIV transmission and its implications for public health. What is HIV? How does it spread? And what policies are most effective at minimizing the transmission of infections and their possible negative consequences on a community? In this episode, we try to unpack the stigma around HIV to have a clearer conversation about public health. Alongside our review of a few specific cases (including those of Daryll Rowe and Clato Mabior), we examine the failures of abstinence-only education, the philosophies of Michel Foucault, and the gap between legal policy and implementation.

8 - QAnon: Hero or Hoax?
In this week's episode, we discuss the internet conspiracy theory known as QAnon — its origins, beliefs, and validity. We cover everything from satanic child sacrifice to whether JFK Jr. is still alive. Plus, we review political philosophies on state power, the elements of a good literary allusion, and how to outfox the most hardened conspiracy theorists. Remember: when you gaze long into Q, Q also gazes into you.

10 - The Gypsy Rose Blanchard Story: Munchausen By Proxy
On the night of June 14, 2015, police in Greene County, Missouri found the body of Clauddine “Dee Dee” Blanchard. She had been stabbed to death in her own home. Her chronically ill daughter, Gypsy Rose Blanchard, was nowhere to be found. Police had gone to the Blanchard house, just outside of Springfield, Missouri, to check in on the single mother and child after neighbors and friends reported concerning Facebook posts on Dee Dee’s profile. But where is Gypsy Rose? And who killed Dee Dee? This case prompts discussions of murder, medical abuse, and how a system meant to protect our health can fail us.
