    46 TDoV w/ S. Leigh Thompson
    Today's episode is actually a "rerun" of one of my favorites from last year to mark Trans Day of Visibility, with an updated intro. More new episodes to come soon, but I'm still recovering from the AHCA whirlwind. S. Leigh Thompson talks about the hurdles to diagnosis he's faced as a trans person with complex health issues, healthcare insecurity, getting around the city with mobility limitations, and navigating society with invisible disabilities.

    44 March Madness w/ Christopher Snider
    I check in with regular guest, Christopher Snider, for our bimonthly podcast freakout about all things Trump, health policy, and how we’re dealing. We talk more about the state of Obamacare/ACA’s repeal and replace plan, the AHCA (aka Ryancare, Trumpcare, Republicare, etc.) We discuss the bill’s CBO score, another proposed bill flying under the radar that would allow your employer to require genetic testing and have access to those results, ALEC, and his newest podcast project, Mark All That Apply.

    39 Binders Full of Podcasters
    Recurring guest and patient podcaster, Christopher Snider, is back to explain his plan to become the Roman Mars of the patient community. You can subscribe to his shows Just Talking and Two Big Topics wherever you get your podcasts. In this episode we also talked about our election feels [~25;00], and talk about how we’re coping in the aftermath. This conversation was recorded in late November, about three weeks after the election. Like last week’s episode, the later portion of this conversation is more like a time capsule of where we were, emotionally. See insicknesspod.com for more info.

    38 Still Processing
    You're never gonna get a hot take from me. It'll usually be room temperature, or perhaps even pretty moldy after sitting in the back of the refrigerator for a few weeks. This is the podcast version of my moldy, not-so-hot take on the recent US election. Recorded a week after, it’s not the most articulate I’ve been on the topic, but it is a time capsule of my feelings—which haven't changed much in the time that has elapsed. I felt I had to put this out before I could move forward with the show. If you’re offended by harsh language, this is maybe not the episode for you. See insicknesspod.com for more info.
