  • 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.
