- How doctors and scientists responded to the arrival of a strange and terrifying new disease.
From the co-creators of Slow Burn, Fiasco is a narrative podcast that transports listeners into the day-to-day reality of America’s most pivotal historical events. Using original interviews with dozens of key players, host Leon Neyfakh brings to life the forgotten twists and turns of the past while shedding light on the present day. The new season of Fiasco goes deep on the AIDS epidemic in America, with a special focus on the early years of the crisis, when a diagnosis was tantamount to a death sentence. The eight-part series looks at the mystery and missteps around identifying and treating a new, contagious disease, and what it took to get the public -and the government- to care.

I was a new graduate from Nursing-school. I had 2 uncles who had AIDS die from IVDA. I chose to work on the AIDS UNIT. IT WAS 1987. It was a spiritual experience. Many of them were discarded by family
Thank you for being by their sides
Wow. I'm a historian who writes about HIV/AIDS (specifically music and the AIDS crisis), and I teach a course at Oklahoma City University about music and HIV/AIDS. Just discovered this series, and it's quite good! Can't wait to share with my students.
Excited about the impact it'll have in your course. Sharing knowledge is powerful! 🧠 💪
Cool Prof! Anything of yours I can read ? Hi from South africa
then maybe u could write a song to cure aids
Why is that a job? It's like free money! Why do you need someone to talk about aids/hiv? Everyone knows
WTF does music and aids have in common?
Glad I got the chance to listen to this podcast. I was born the year after the CDC first reported on the cases in the MMWR in 1981 so I wasn't really around to understand the gravity of what was going on back then.
Amazing, really appreciate all the effort in compilation of the testimonies of several actors of these first days of the epidemic that continues surround the world
These episodes and this whole season is so enlightening. I was born in 1981, and when I was just turned 2, I had a really bad accident. Really bad. I'm a miracle to be alive. Anyway, I had to have blood transfusions. No biggie, until the untraced/unscreened blood scandal come out. People who needed blood transfusions back then, such as the likes of myself or haemophiliacs - it was Russian roulette as to what blood you got. I am so thankful and so very blessed, for both the fact I lived to tell the tale from my accident and also, that I didn't get a "bad batch" of blood 🙏🏻
Such an inspiring story. Thanks for sharing!
So many thanks for covering this issue. Rest in power, Nurse Bobbi ❤❤

It could be over it's a choice for it not to be over
Correction: the disease received it's official name on July 27th, 1982 at a meeting in Washington DC.
who is HW? What is his name?
I’m assuming that they are using HW to protect the persons privacy. The doctor cannot legally provide a patients name with consent

@@georgidimitrow-kl4ix HW= Rick Welikoff, MAKES SENSES
We all would never let our patients die alone.The cases I was seeing was IVDAs and homosexuals.
He’s a special nurse.
Crazy that Hollywood still promotes this lifestyle, especially considering the number of actors that have died of something totally preventable.
For some strange reason, as a matter of absolute scapegoating, Aids activists keep wanting to make this about the Regan Administration and Christian Conservatives, who didn't cause this epidemic, weren't responsible for telling the Gay community to continue with behavior that was directly leading to their infections rates, or slowing the process for developing drugs to help them.
It was still a very sensitive time for the gay community I believe. People really only started Living openly as gay people and demanding rights in the 1970s and this unfortunately immediately followed that Liberation so calls to limit sexual contact and close down bathhouses Etc were mistakenly taken as an attempt to infringe on the rights of gay people instead of being taken as the dire warning that it was it's very unfortunate and very complex. And there was actually a major division amongst members of the gay community because there were Advocates Like Larry Kramer who advocated for safe and monogamous sexual relationships and they were criticized
And to be fair the Reagan Administration did not publicly acknowledge what was happening for some time and that definitely hindered the research it deleted by a long time and it prevented treatments from being developed so there is that legitimate criticism
Reagan's perfidy in keeping silent about this disease killed many people, not only gay.
