  • Essential for deepening understanding

    Disability & its intersections with criminalization, gender, race, & medicalization is an under explored & essential lens for both understanding our current moment & how to move towards liberation. I’ve been learning so, so much & recommend this incredibly smart podcast for everyone. Join the Patreon if you can.

  • Experimentation

    Really enjoyed the show. Hope you guys can keep going for as long as possible. I also hope that you guys are following the case in Georgia of a black woman being forced to carry a baby even though she is clinically brain dead and the baby is also showing signs of abnormalities in the womb.

  • Thank you!!

    This podcast has kept me sane and alive through the past five years. Without this podcast I would have fallen for the liberal gaslighting that Biden ended Covid and I would not be here today.

  • Serious education: I listen to each one twice

    These Death Panel folks are providing a powerful critical examination of health policy ( such as it is) in the US. I’m always learning from them. Probably the most important pod I’ve listened to this last 12 months.

    Update years later: better than ever, truer than ever.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Teaser - Abolish ICE Means Abolish the Police w/ Mariame Kaba & Andrea Ritchie (03/09/26)
Q: For people who are newly outraged by ICE, how would you help them understand that ICE is not an exception to policing but is part of its core logic?
Explain that ICE operates with the same aims, methods, and structural incentives as local police, and that opposing ICE naturally leads to opposing policing because they are interconnected parts of the same system.
Teaser - Kansas and the History of State Identification as Administrative Violence w/ Cassius Adair (03/03/26)
Q: Can you just briefly explain your background as a scholar?
Cassius Adair explains his entry into studying identification laws stems from personal experiences with the bureaucratic challenges of gender transition.
Teaser - Late Empire Life Extension w/ Ayesha Siddiqi (02/09/26)
Q: Can you talk about why wellness and longevity obsessions really intensify specifically during moments of imperial crisis or social breakdown?
These obsessions intensify when institutions fail to meet public needs, allowing alternative voices to fill the void and providing individuals with a sense of agency amid economic precarity and inequality, often leading to reactionary behaviors.
Teaser - Late Empire Life Extension w/ Ayesha Siddiqi (02/09/26)
Q: Can you walk us through the core thesis of your essay just in brief?
The modern polycrisis includes environmental, political, and social instability, visible across class, with anti-aging protocols serving as a cope for imperial decline, but also as an accelerant for that decline due to their association with systemic inequity.
Abolish ICE, Abolish the Border w/ Silky Shah & Harsha Walia (Live) (02/12/26)
Q: What abolition demands of us, not just as organizers, but as neighbors, as friends, as strangers taking responsibility for each other?
Abolition requires us to engage in collective practices of care and solidarity, seeing interconnected struggles as intrinsically linked and fostering community resilience in the face of oppression.

Frequently Asked Questions About Death Panel

What is Death Panel about and what kind of topics does it cover?

The show consistently centers on disability justice, health policy, and abolitionist politics, with a heavy emphasis on how capitalist systems shape public health, immigration, and state power. Recent episodes frequently feature scholars, organizers, and disability rights advocates who challenge carceral logics, demand transformative care, and critique risk-oriented governance. A standout trait is the willingness to host cross-issue discussions—from state violence and deportation to healthcare access and mutual aid—often through a liberation-focused lens. The format tends to blend historical context, legal/policy critique, and personal lived experience to illuminate systemic inequities and possible alternatives.
