this episode is a lil mini introduction to the Foucauldian concept of biopower -- lots of chats about institutionalized power (how it operates, how it's maintained, + how it appears), the interconnectedness of medicine and politics, and how the state regulates identity. a bit of a heavier one!! but we're still havin fun <3
