In the first episode of our new series Mechanical Freak Presents, Brian talks with historian and friend of the show Mary Anne Henderson about tuberculosis and the politics of disease. We dive into how public health measures are hobbled by class and race prejudices under capitalism in the hopes of drawing some lessons from the past for our crisis today. So, put on your mask, cover your body in Purell, and smash play! Subscribe for access to all our premium episodes, and early release of episodes of Mechanical Freak Presents. patreon.com/seattlesucks
