And the Band Played on
Politics, People, and the AIDS Epidemic
Randy Shilts
This book is a meticulous and engaging narrative that explores the initial outbreak and spread of AIDS in the early 1980s. It delves into the personal stories of those affected, the scientific community's efforts to understand the disease, and the often inadequate and politicized responses from government and public health officials. Shilts' work is a critical examination of how societal attitudes, bureaucratic inefficiencies, and personal biases impacted the handling of the epidemic.
Drake Bell drops in to talk music, acting, and his new album—plus, he doesn’t hold back on exposing the rampant child abuse in the film industry.
Next, author and podcaster Michael Malice Zooms in to break down culture, politics, and the conservative moment.
Then, Adam and Jason “Mayhem” Miller tackle the news: learning loss from Covid lockdowns, companies pushing for “sex leave” at work, and FEMA officials blowing $59 million in taxpayer money on NYC hotels for illegal immigrants—before getting the boot. Get it on.
