Listen "S1E11 Debt and consciousness: Class, gender, healthcare access, and octopuses"
Episode Synopsis
We’re back this week to reflect on what we’ve achieved in the past year. We take a moment to appreciate our labors and celebrate almost a whole season of our podcast!
Jessie brings a book that complicates the history of HIV/AIDS activism in the United States. Olivia brings a book that got her back into a reading groove--a sci-fi novel following a near-future scientist and android contemplating the consciousness of octopuses who start forming a culture.
We talk about what it means to be alive, the value of art to make it through our days, and the importance of healthcare access (and providers that believe you).
