- AIDS spreads through the country's blood supply, endangering people with hemophilia and leading to a breakthrough about the cause of the 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.

In the UK, in 2024, they have just now concluded a public inquiry into the tainted blood scandal. It's a bloody embarrassment. People have passed and their families victimized for 4 decades.
RIP Val Bias....a humble hero...look this man's up and see what a lofe well lived looks like and read the obituarird and messages of gratitude...he had to be special
I wish this was a video instead of podcast so we could see pictures relating to the events taking place.
Holy crap hearing about the Blood banks like this is horrifying.
Shame on the blood banks and the blood industry in general. So many lives lost because of their inaction.
The fact that there is a blood industry is just infuriating 😢
The idea of having a virus and accidentally/unintentionally infecting my husband. And him getting sick whilst I have good health. And caring for him as he slowly dies from one of the worst diseases imaginable. The idea is soul destroying. I’d feel like I killed him. And it’s not just an idea to others, it actually happened. Jesus. I feel for them so much.
That part of the podcast made me break down in tears, and the end when they mentioned that the husband died months after the interview. This was such an emotional episode. So important to talk about, and so heartbreaking ❤
I remember the time so clearly. It was an awful time.I signed up to be a buddy but the time I finished the training I knew I wasn't strong enough as it upset me so much. What really angered and upset me was other people's reactions it was cruel and the press did nothing but make life even more difficult. On a positive note
a friend of mine survived from 1987.
This podcast is magnificent!
The April 23rd 1984 press conference should rank alongside Pearl Harbor and 9/11 in terms of it's infamy. Do you know anything at all about the background and context and what happened after this date? Have you done any research into this?
There was many states that were already stopping people that were gay or homosexual from giving blood so this is this was a bad practice from the beginning of it all they should have figured out another way to get it out of
