- 歷史
Two friends discuss the great diseases of history, then and now. Together, we’ll lay out the spread of impactful diseases throughout history and the modern day, their social and political determinants, and how their history has affected our modern treatment of each illness.
Angeliki is a doctoral candidate at Oxford, studying the history of disease, and Maya is a public health specialist with a particular focus on developing areas. They both love wine, cheese, true, crime, and maintaining a faint grasp on their faith in humanity.

Dengue
Welcome back to the podcast that we now have to just admit is quarterly. Maybe not forever though! Join us this week as we have a blast wading through the different names of dengue, the severity of it all, and getting riled up about human experimentation- as we do. Follow us on instagram for some not-so-gory visuals to back up the stories we tell, @insickness2020.

Lyme Disease
Happy holidays to all! In the holiday spirit, we offer up our newest episode on Lyme disease, a tick-borne zoonotic disease. Just the thing to take a quick relaxing break from all the activities that we often have this time of year! Learn more about the recent (recent) history of this disease, and how it will begin to affect more and more of us due to circumstances 100% within human control.

Spicy Cocktail of Disease - Minisode
We revisit our first episode, where we discussed the Flu and COVID-19, and reflect on the current "tridemic" status many countries are facing right now. A brief overview of where we are right now with COVID, the flu, and RSV, just to keep us in practice.
We'll be back soon with another full length episode- happy listening! -
Abortion
Content Warning: Abortion, Miscarriage, Donald Trump
We're back, with another spooky halloween episode! After all, what could be scarier than the loss of a vital reproductive health service. Join us as we remember how to podcast, discuss attitudes and perceptions of abortion through history, and explain what the global gag rule is and how it might affect us all.

Lupus
A disease of many faces, lupus has absolutely nothing to do with wolves, and everything to do with your immune system. Follow us on this wild ride that starts with Queen Anne and millipedes, and ends with Ivermectin and orchids. You'll see what we mean.
