Hello everyone, welcome back to another episode! Today, I will be talking to you about my thoughts on the idea of ‘Medical Gothic' - the horror of our body and the ethics of medicine.

Hi! Welcome to the first episode! Today I will be talking about my thoughts on Asian Gothic, after I felt inspired by an essay about it. The content is more like an overview, but if you guys would like me to go into details, please do let me know. It is my first so the audio isn't the greatest, and I did waffle quite a bit - though I did try to edit it so that it is more coherent. One more thing is that the way I pronounced ‘ancestral' sounded a bit like ‘incestral' - just pointing it up in case you wonder what I was saying! Nevertheless, I do hope you guys enjoy it! If you have feedbacks, please send it through here: https://anchor.fm/annsannotations
