  • Excellent topics, annoying laughter

    I love the topics and history and discussion by the male presenter, but does the female cohost need to be there? She doesn’t add anything, and instead detracts with her irritating laughing. Such a shame bc the pod is otherwise excellent.

  • Mostly good

    Overall, a very good and thought provoking podcast. But, when addressing issues abortion and reproductive rights more generally, very wishy washy, trying to appeal to both sides, and not trans inclusive. Frustrating and out of place with a podcast/hosts that are otherwise very thoughtful about social justice issues within bioethics.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Behavioral Health
Q: What kinds of ethics issues do you see in everyday clinical practice, especially in outpatient settings?
Ethics concerns include balancing patient autonomy with collaborative care, avoiding paternalism, and navigating stigma around behavioral health treatments; there is a need for more ethics training and a framework to involve patients in shared decision-making.
Deep Thoughts with Steve Foley
Q: What makes conferences valuable for bioethicists beyond presenting research?
Conferences are important for networking, learning from peers, and maintaining a sense of community; they help professionals stay connected, inspired, and informed about the breadth of the field.
Fat Phobia and the Ethics of Pain with Dr. Jada Wiggleton-Little
Q: Why is fat phobia a pervasive issue in pain management?
Fat phobia is rooted in anti-fat ideologies that stereotype fat people as lazy or responsible for their condition, which leads clinicians to prematurely attribute pain to weight and to treat patients with less empathy or fewer investigative steps.
Teaching with Bioethics for the People Podcast
Q: What career paths exist for students interested in bioethics?
The guests outline academic routes (master's/PhD in bioethics) and non-academic tracks (clinical ethics in hospitals, fellowships, dual degrees with medical training), emphasizing that there are many spaces where bioethics can be taught and practiced.
Teaching with Bioethics for the People Podcast
Q: What has been like teaching bioethics through podcasts and memoirs?
Dolores describes the shift from traditional anthologies and theory-heavy courses to a classroom where cases come alive through medical memoirs and podcast discussions, which helps students engage more deeply and see ethics as about real people's lives.
