Welcome back to the podcast that we now have to just admit is quarterly. Maybe not forever though! Join us this week as we have a blast wading through the different names of dengue, the severity of it all, and getting riled up about human exper
Happy holidays to all! In the holiday spirit, we offer up our newest episode on Lyme disease, a tick-borne zoonotic disease. Just the thing to take a quick relaxing break from all the activities that we often have this time of year! Learn more

Content Warning: Abortion, Miscarriage, Donald TrumpWe're back, with another spooky halloween episode! After all, what could be scarier than the loss of a vital reproductive health service. Join us as we remember how to podcast, discuss attitu
A disease of many faces, lupus has absolutely nothing to do with wolves, and everything to do with your immune system. Follow us on this wild ride that starts with Queen Anne and millipedes, and ends with Ivermectin and orchids. You'll see what
We're back with another holiday themed blood disease everyone! Tune in to hear with this is (loosely) festive, as well as get the hot takes on the Romanovs, the royal disease, and the modern world of hemophilia treatment. Keep safe, warm, an
As if the topic of this podcast wasn't scary enough already...enjoy this spooooooky halloween minisode! This week we indulge ourselves with myths, mystery, literature, and a little pop culture. Learn with us about vampires as a disease, disease
A special birthday episode, for our special birthday host, Angeliki! It says a lot about both of us as people that this might be one of our favourite ways to celebrate- if we can't be together of course. Deep dive with us on this episode, as we
Why the long wait, why the take two? Good old fashioned technological illiteracy! Enjoy our finely honed (read: done twice because Maya deleted her audio) analysis of the history and current context of Human Papilloma Virus- and find out what t
On this episode of In Sickness we discuss the plague, then and now. Fans of the Black Death (we use the word fan very lightly here) will be pleased to know that there are many more types and strains of plague to learn about, and even to contrac
With the addition of new recording equipment we are back and better than ever, happy to present you with a really late Spooky Halloween/ really early Christmas episode (depending on your perspective)!Today we discuss Ergot, a fungus that grows
Hi friends of the pod! We're back, and we're seasonally themed (whether we are better than ever or not, is up to you). This week we discuss lead poisoning. Thematically, yes it's a bit weak- but there are lead poisoning epidemics, and hey, it's
In honour of wild polio being eliminated in Africa this week, we explore the roots of the disease, and the study of it over the years (and where it failed- because of course we have thoughts about that). We learn more interesting facts about Tu
Happy 10 episodes, and welcome back to your regularly scheduled programming! Bringing you back to our roots with a little bit of smallpox, cow pox, and poxes of all sizes. Have questions about vaccines? Well so do we! We may even be able to pro
In the second episode of this two-part series, we continue our discussion of hysteria, and how it has influenced modern day health care. This time, we focus on mental health, and the various treatments and diagnoses seen throughout history, as
In this two-part episode, we begin our discussion of hysteria in history and the modern day by talking about physical health, and how it was (or wasn't) diagnosed. We now know that hysteria is more of a "category" than an actual disease, but on
This week on In Sickness we are discussing Hansen's Disease, or what is commonly known as Leprosy. We talk about who the heck Hansen was, the medieval leper trope and Leper colonies in Hawai'i. Warning- may include light "Eurovision Song Contes
This week we'll be dipping our toes into typhoid. Sensationalized and memeified as it was a few hundred years ago, we argue that this disease is perhaps a bit neglected in the modern day. Learn more about Mary Mallon (usually referred to as Typ
Today's episode touches on a lot of topics (well, if we're honest, they all do...we just have a lot to say about a lot of things!). As with most of our discussions of epidemic disease, racism, inequality, and bias, play a big role in who is get
This week we'll be talking all things anthrax. Apart from the infamous terrorist attacks in 2001, this disease isn't talked about all that much (or at least, not to us!). We were excited to learn and explore the history, weird conspiracies, and
The disease of the week is cholera! Cholera is notorious for following lines of inequality- but it wasn't always so discriminating. This week, we talk John Snow (who some call the father of modern public health), Hippocrates, and Haiti.Don't f
Maya and Angeliki discuss syphilis, and the complex global history the disease carries with it. From (contested) origins in the new world, through Europe, and back to Alabama, this impossible to pronounce bacteria has made its mark in history.
In our first episode we discuss two of the worlds most devastating pandemics, and how we have (or have not) learned from the past. Also, fermentation. Tune in next time for Syphilis, then and now!
