Your anti-establishment field guide to surviving in the age of pandemics.

Available on all major podcast players

  • YOU DESERVE TO KNOW.

    If you have a feeling all is not well in the world of disease control, if your kids are sick of being sick (and their teachers are, too), if your favourite artists keep cancelling their shows because of a “mystery illness”
    ...this podcast is for you!

    Working against apathy and denial in public health can be exhausting when global leaders have washed their hands of responsibility. If you are sick and tired of bad public health decisions, you’ll like Public Health is Dead. COVID is not over. This airborne disease continues to leave a trail of damage, disability, and reinfection in its path. New pandemics are breathing down our necks, driven by climate change and capitalism. And we are so far from ready. Our quest on this show? Figure out how to make public health work for us, not against us.

    On this podcast, undaunted public health advocates examine what’s not working in disease control, why it matters so much for you and the people you love, and, most importantly, what we can do about it.

    Public health is failing us. And you deserve to know.

    This might just become your new favourite show!

“These things frighten people. It’s best not to talk about them.”
“But, Dad, that’s like… ignoring a fire in the living room because we’re all in the kitchen, and, besides, house fires are too scary to talk about.”

— Octavia E. Butler “Parable of the Sower”
