This true crime podcast tells the tales of research gone wrong in communities of color. It confronts these ethical missteps in the hopes of preventing the past from repeating. We cover stories untold and familiar narratives like the Tuskegee syphilis experiment through storytelling and interviewing. Out of adversity, people of color have involuntarily contributed to the policies, principles and science that have laid the foundation of bioethics. By understanding the importance of these contributions, we can finish the story and begin building trust and health equity in communities of color.
