According to local tradition, the only way to safely complete the crossing was to appease the river gods with tributes of decapitated heads. Unwilling to resort to human sacrifice, Zhuge instead ordered his crew to fashion animal heads out of wheat dough and meat fillings. The River Gods were fooled, the ships crossed safely, and his doughy creations became known, thereafter, as ‘barbarian heads'.

Viral spread, this week's guest reminds us, “happens through very normative life activities: sex, breathing, handshaking, hugging, just being. The things that we have to do to stay alive.” So what happens when we encounter viruses through these activities? The answer often depends on who “we” are. Listen in as Dr. Steven W. Thrasher and Jonathan explore how social inequalities in the US and beyond shape how viruses spread—and who is most vulnerable when they do. A note from team Getting Curious: We recorded this episode with Dr. Thrasher back in May, just as we started hearing about the international monkeypox outbreak, so even though this episode holds great relevance, you won't hear much about monkeypox in the conversation itself. We'll hope to have updated coverage and commentary on our @CuriouswithJVN social media pages soon. CW: This episode discusses police violence, bodily harm, and hateful rhetoric. Steven W.

Protester holds sign at vigil for Tony McDade in Oakland, CA on June 5, 2020 On this show: 0:08 – Chaney Turner is a community organizer and entrepreneur from Oakland, organizing a march Saturday in Deep East Oakland calling for police reform and an end to state-sanctioned violence.  0:18 – Now is the time to talk about anti-Blackness in communities of color — Navina Khanna joins us to discuss.

And how do white LGBTQ+ people need to show up for Black lives during this Pride month? We talk about the origins of Pride, from the Stonewall uprising and the Compton Cafeteria riot to the Combahee River Collective, and the need for Black liberation with Dr. Steven W. Thrasher (@thrasherxy), the inaugural Daniel H. Renberg chair at Northwestern University.

Thrasher, Daniel Renberg Chair at Northwestern University, to talk about the HIV/AIDS crisis in the U.S. and why it is gay and black men that are most at risk.

Two maps can help tell the story of a looming public health problem in rural America. One, published by the CDC, shows 220 of the most vulnerable counties in America either experiencing or at risk of an HIV outbreak. The other, published by the Washington Post, shows where pharmaceutical companies sent most of their pain pills at the height of the opioid crisis. These maps almost perfectly matchup. And in Cabell County, West Virginia, a place acutely affected by the opioid crisis, 80 new cases of HIV have been diagnosed since last year. Today on the show, what’s going on in West Virginia and what can be done to help? Guests: A. Toni Young, AIDS activist and founder of the Community Education Group. Dr. Steven W. Thrasher, professor of journalism and LGBTQ health at Northwestern University. He recently wrote an op-ed in the New York Times. Slate Plus members get bonus segments and ad-free podcast feeds.
