Sick
Sick is an investigative podcast about what goes wrong in the places meant to keep us healthy.
The first season explored the complications of fertility medicine, one Indiana doctor’s abuse of power, and the generations of lives he affected.
The second season looks at prisons — places that are meant to keep people healthy, but built to punish them.
