Ep 11: How capitalist governments screwed up the covid response, w/ Nora Loreto

Bread and Poppies

They screwed up. We know they did. But Nora found out exactly why and how. In this episode, I interview Nora Loreto (of Sandy & Nora Talk Politics) about how neoliberal politicians and journalists serve a system that prioritizes profit and its own maintenance over human life. We also discuss the question: how afraid of long covid should we be? What amount of fear is helpful at a personal level?

Nora's new book is Spin Doctors: How Media and Politicians Misdiagnosed the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Bread and Poppies is hosted by Hilary Agro (@hilaryagro on social media), anthropologist and anti-prohibition activist.
