  Teaser - On “Gerontocracy,” Part 2: Age and Capitalist Disposability w/ Nate Holdren (09/28/26)

  Sep 27, 202620 min

  Subscribe on Patreon and hear this week's full patron episode here: https://www.patreon.com/deathpanelpod/posts/170643206 Beatrice speaks with Nate Holdren about how the concept of “gerontocracy” points us away from structural conditions while at the same time reinforcing dominant ideas about disposability being tied to ability, capacity and age, and why it is so important for the left to critically analyze how that disposability is produced and reproduced. Runtime 2:09:28 This episode is the second of two episodes responding to Samuel Moyn’s book “Gerontocracy in America.” It is a standalone conversation that does not require having heard the first episode.

  Care Networks, Abolition, and the Fight Against Border Policing (DP x S26)

  Sep 23, 20261h 9m

  To support the show and help make episodes like this one possible, become a patron at https://www.patreon.com/deathpanelpod This is the second recording in a series of sessions we organized at this year's Socialism Conference. If you are looking for our response discussion to the right wing / Fox News outrage over one of our other sessions this year, find it at https://www.patreon.com/deathpanelpod/posts/169543050 Full session description: Our violent border regimes produce illness, debility, and death while destroying the relationships that people rely on to survive. Families are separated, communities destabilized, and care networks fractured through the constant threat of detention. Beatrice Adler-Bolton, Silky Shah and A. Naomi Paik discuss border policing as a counterinsurgent attack on health, and how to defend and rebuild collective care in an era of escalating state repression and criminalization, from Prairieland, to the Minnesota 15, to the US State Department’s call for a new Red Scare. Speakers: Beatrice, Silky Shah, A. Naomi Paik Show links: We're testing out a new Bookshop.org page (still under construction), where you can find books by past guests and book recommendations from the hosts.

  Trans Care in the Age of Health Fascism (DP x S26)

  Sep 16, 202643 min

  To support the show and help make episodes like this one possible, become a patron at https://www.patreon.com/deathpanelpod This is the second recording in a series of sessions we organized at this year's Socialism Conference. If you are looking for our response discussion to the right wing outrage over one of our other sessions, find it at https://www.patreon.com/deathpanelpod/posts/169543050 Full session description: The struggle over trans healthcare is one of the clearest expressions of how medicine, incarceration, and borders are intertwined. As the US and Britain increasingly govern through prohibition, austerity, and criminalization, the reach of policing and punishment has rapidly expanded—both inside and outside the prison walls. Vicky Osterweil, S. Lamble, and Beatrice Adler-Bolton will discuss the carcerality of the anti-trans panic, its centrality to health fascism, and what abolition can teach us about defending care beyond the limits of the state.
