Why subscribe to me?

Do you like movies and tv shows? Do you wonder about how they portray infectious diseases? Just how accurate was Contagion, anyways? Enough to give me anxiety for three days after I watched it in late summer 2020.

If you like a side of snark with your science, and you like it when someone breaks down complicated topics into easily understood tidbits explained with a ton of pop culture references, then you’ll like what I have to say.

Subscribe for free and you’ll get full access to all my posts and notes, & participate in comment sections! The podcast episodes will always be free to access as released!

Support with a paid subscription and you’ll get whole podcast seasons dumped into your feed at once, be able to vote on future episode topics and season themes, view exclusive pages with media recommendations, and other things as they happen like Q&A sessions and more!

Stay up-to-date

Never miss a post or podcast episode—every new post will be sent directly to your email inbox. For a spam-free, ad-free reading experience, plus audio and community features, get the Substack app.

I promise not to be overwhelming with posts. I promise to be even less overwhelming with frequency of podcast episodes, perhaps even a tad underwhelming (they’re a lot of research because I want to get them correct!).

You can subscribe to the podcast on pretty much every platform and service, including Youtube.

Join the crew

Be part of a community of people who share the interest of critiquing pop culture! I don’t like the idea of having ads in my podcast, so this will be the best way to support what I do.
