A Shot in the Arm Podcast with Ben Plumley: Recent Episodes
Ben Plumley
We are a podcast about global health and human rights. And right now, we are asking the tough questions about what a world with #COVID19 looks like. Rapid, mass global #vaccination programs are needed - something never achieved in #globalpublichealth before. But who will be left behind? #Pandemics have upended #globalsecurity priorities and turned our lives upside down. What does this mean for #humanrights? What are the implications for epidemics, like, #HIV, #TB and #Malaria, that we have not yet eliminated? A Shot in the Arm Podcast is produced by NewsDoc Media and Hunuvat Global, and we explore these and other pressing questions, with scientists and advocates from around the world making the tough decisions right now.
Jirair Ratevosian, a respected & well known figure in the field of global health, is running to succeed the Democrat Congressman Adam Schiff in California’s District 30. We explore his decision, the issues facing this Los Angeles community where Jirair grew up, the importance of his Armenian roots - and his thoughts on the funding cliff facing the US President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief.

International efforts are concentrated on securing funding to tackle one of the greatest challenges facing global security today - the fight against AIDS, TB and Malaria. Of course all eyes are turned towards Ukraine and mitigating the impact of Russia’s invasion, but COVID and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine have transformed our understanding of global security, with health – particularly pandemic responses – now a central challenge the World faces. Gayle Smith, CEO of ONE, joins Ben to explore new definitions of global health security, the World Health Assembly in Geneva, advocacy to ensure the Global Fund is fully funded, and what its like to work with celebrities to build popular momentum for social movements.

In the first of a short series of special podcasts, we “Share The Mic” with Frontline AIDS to highlight the critical role communities themselves have to play in defeating AIDS and other pandemics. We head to Ukraine, and learn more about how Frontline AIDS’ national partner, the Alliance for Public Health is delivering HIV medications and health services, despite desperately difficult circumstances, to people in need. And we dig deep into how global funding for the global response to AIDS is being squeezed by both the radical disruption of the global security order precipitated by the war, and the global COVID-19 pandemic.

In this episode we meet Democrat Congressman TJ Cox. TJ was part of the Democrat wave that retook the House of Representatives in 2018. He is progressive and passionate about healthcare for all, immigrants' rights and diversity. He is also the first Filipino American to be elected from California to the House of Representatives. We love him because he knows the district he represents. District 21, in the California’s Central Valley, is the country’s largest producer of milk, but it is also the largest producer of meth. TJ understands the challenges, but he is also laser-focused on helping his constituents seize the opportunities in biotechnology and agriculture that will transform their health and prosperity.
In our latest episode, the clash of two worlds; the possible and the struggle. We are confronted with the insane disparity between a world ripe with potential with the swipe of a smart phone, and a world that is fighting for basic access to a fifty year old contraceptive technology and links to HIV prevention for African women. Ben chats with Sean Howell, co-founder of the LGBT social media site Hornet App and Chair of the LGBT Foundation. With all the concerns about privacy and political hacking, social and digital media may seem a curious place to disclose your HIV status, that you are U=U (undetectable equals untransmittable) or that you are on PrEP. Yet, that is exactly the future Sean is building. Join us as we have a rollercoaster of a conversation, up and down the insanely fast-moving world of technology that will affect the health and wellness of everyone. But just beforehand, Ben catches up with South African HIV and women's rights activist, Yvette Raphael, recorded from Durban, South Africa. We met Yvette in the 3rd episode of the podcast, and she is in Durban for the South African HIV Conference. She gives us a direct update on the results of the largest trial ever of just under 8000 women across eastern and southern Africa - looking at whether different contraceptive options affect their risk of HIV transmission. The trial is called ECHO and the bottom line is that a woman's risk of getting HIV is not negatively impacted by whichever contraceptive she takes. This is huge news and can't be ignored by governments and funders. It must transform the way HIV and family planning work together, particularly across sub Saharan Africa.

A new episode of A Shot In The Arm is out! This week, host Ben Plumley and treatment literacy advocate, David Evans, look at the state of antibiotic research, and why the world desperately needs both new antibiotics, and change the cavalier way it uses the antibiotics it already has. From the way we treat diseases, clean our homes and grow our food, antibiotics have been a central part of our lives since the 1940s. We also look recently passed laws in some southern states that will severely restrict women’s reproductive rights, and what we need to do right now to protect the right to choose.You may find these links useful:www.who.intwww.cdc.govhttps://www.google.com/amp/www.pewtrusts.org/en/research-and-analysis/issue-briefs/2019/03/tracking-the-global-pipeline-of-antibiotics-in-development%3Famp%3D1https://www.plannedparenthood.org/https://yellowhammerfund.org/https://www.arc-southeast.org/and of course…Pet Shop Boys You can find us atApple PodcastsSpotifyStitcherGoogle Play Musicand on Facebook and Twitter @shotarmpodcast.

This week David Evans, internationally respected treatment and science literacy expert, joins us from Pasadena, CA as we explore how healthcare might be delivered in the USA. We look at some proposals for Medicare for All that are on the table, and how different strategies led by the public sector and - or the private sector might be implemented. David explains why it's really important for community organizations providing infectious disease services - particularly HIV - to take notice now. Many of the drugs we use are coming off patent, and this will have major consequences for funding, if we are not prepared.
