This week's episode of Single Payer Radio is a conversation with doctors Garrett Adams and Mike Imburgia. Both have worked for decades providing care and have witnessed patients denied care in our current system that requires insurance, co-pays, and unaffordable out-of-pocket expenses. Both doctors have established clinics to address the need. Dr. Imburgia established the Have a Heart Clinic in downtown Louisville. Dr. Adams established the Beersheba Clinic in Beersheba Springs,TN a small rural community in Warren County TN on the Cumberland Plateau.

To close out October this week, we chat with Lee Mandelo, author of Summer Sons, which recently went into paperback. This creepy novel is hard to categorize because it’s queer Southern Gothic, dark academia, and ghost story. It also touches on issues of race and class. The book is an amalgam of a lot of different ideas rolled into a complex story of friendship, grief, and family curses. We’re so glad Lee joined us to chat about their novel as well as an upcoming novella titled Feed Them Silence which comes out in spring 2023.

You can find more information about Lee Mandelo on their social media @leemandelo
