    anti fat bias pt 2 - season 2 episode 10

    That’s a wrap, folks!! Season two ends with an absolute BANG, as Chase and Shannon are joined by comedians McKenna Moore and Obo Gilmore in another follow-up from last season: this time on anti-fat bias. Laughter and learning abound as your hosts and guests delve into this oft-overlooked stigma.

    cosmetic procedures - season 2 episode 9

    Cosmetic surgery is a billion dollar industry with millions going under the knife each year for various procedures. Whether it’s tummy tucks, rejuvenation, rhinoplasty, or hair transplants, humanity is in constant pursuit of a narrow lens of physical perfection, sometimes to dangerous, disastrous, or deadly degrees. In this admittedly graphic episode, Shannon and Chase dive scalpel first into the history and science of this rather controversial field. https://www.isaps.org/discover/about-isaps/history/timeline-of-aesthetic-plastic-surgery/#:~:text=Non%2Dsurgical%20procedures%20like%20dermal,facial%20rejuvenation%2C%20becomes%20more%20widespread. https://www.plasticsurgery.org/about-asps/history-of-asps https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_surgery https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10617452/ https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/treatment-tests-and-therapies/cosmetic-plastic-surgery-overview https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/procedures/11007-cosmetic-surgery https://youtu.be/N9Yn2SLBxUw?si=eLkVz7C4JG40oL_l https://youtu.be/aPOlj2TJUnM?si=P0Ay5eshUFBYZEKI https://youtu.be/7HW9Yg25mJA?si=EMXz8-yEKSFvbKeI https://youtu.be/P8Lj7sNbpUk?si=5Mol0_ILZIdAl_UA https://youtu.be/BJzjt_aFc00?si=UoXKl7DUkkr1pTr- https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10617452/ https://maleplasticsurgerynewyork.com/cosmetic-and-plastic-surgery-procedures-for-gay-men-in-nyc/ https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/gender-affirmation-surgeries https://projects.iq.harvard.edu/files/isl/files/occidentalisation_of_beauty_standards_eurocentrism.pdf https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8500604/ https://www.uofmhealth.org/conditions-treatments/surgery/plastic/breast/procedures https://www.discoverthebeauty.com/plastic-surgery-maryland/male/abdominal-etching/ https://www.plasticsurgery.org/cosmetic-procedures/tummy-tuck https://www.isaps.org/discover/about-isaps/global-statistics/global-survey-2023-full-report-and-press-releases https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-warns-about-illegal-use-injectable-silicone-body-contouring-and-associated-health-risks https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4633211/ https://healthcare.utah.edu/healthfeed/2018/08/what-vaginal-rejuvenation https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/turkey-istanbul-hair-transplant-medical-tourism/ https://nashvillehairdoctor.com/fue/history-of-hair-transplants/ https://www.plasticsurgery.org/news/articles/medical-tourism-what-you-need-to-know-about-traveling-for-plastic-surgery https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/cosmetic-surgery/about/pac-20385138

    disability and accessibility - season 2 episode 4

    Curb cuts, ramps, signs written braille—these are just a few examples of the seemingly mundane accessibility accommodations we encounter every day. Though deceptively simple in design, implementing these accommodations took decades’ worth of effort from dedicated activists and policymakers—and there’s still much more work to be done. In their latest episode (recorded February 2024), Chase and Shannon take a look at disability and accessibility: its history, its impact, and its future. ​https://youtu.be/ZKXSg2HiVY4?si=8GxQ0Tv7hDGhV4Lw ​https://youtu.be/MQafuiLGP7g?si=uQBBW0MgBmRjKeAE ​https://youtu.be/85wmj6AugcQ?si=xQqjsxa6JKxnCMX1 ​https://youtu.be/tloBMf_KmX4?si=0yUYwy6U_aBMcPO4 ​https://blogs.loc.gov/maps/2022/05/what-goes-up-must-come-down-a-brief-history-of-new-york-citys-elevated-rail-and-subway-lines/ ​https://new.mta.info/accessibility/stations (126 accessible stations of 472)​https://new.mta.info/elevator-escalator-status (26 elevators down today)​https://dralegal.org/case/the-history-of-dras-lawsuits-against-the-nyc-metropolitan-transit-authority/ ​https://onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/trnews/trnews346Invisible.pdf ​https://www.nps.gov/subjects/accessibility/interagency-access-pass.htm ​https://www.nps.gov/articles/disabilityhistoryrightsmovement.htm ​https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S2214140520301523 ​https://www.aarp.org/travel/travel-tips/safety/info-2023/invisible-disabilities.html ​https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/12/2/589​Disability Visibility: First-Person Stories From The Twenty-First Century, Edited By Alice Wong
