Episode description as stored
<p>How do we understand something as huge as a global epidemic?</p> <p>Similarly to Covid, the AIDS epidemic, which was most destructive in the 1980s and 90s, had such universal reach. Yet within that, there were millions of personal experiences.</p> <p>What was it like to work on the frontline with people who were hit by this cruel virus? How did a Canadian air steward come to be wrongly blamed for introducing AIDS to North America?</p> <p>To mark World AIDS Day, today Kate is joined by two special guests. Firstly, Flick Thorley, who speaks about why her experience as a nurse on an AIDS ward was a blessing. Secondly, we’re joined by Richard McKay, author of <a href="https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/P/bo16463356.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Patient Zero And The Making Of The AIDS Epidemic</em></a> to unpack the larger societal reaction.</p> <p>Click <a href="https://www.tht.org.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a> to find out more about the amazing work the Terrence Higgins Trust do.</p> <p>This episode was edited by Tom Delargy.
