“We're all spending more time these days at home — including our bathrooms. But why do they look the way they do? From toilets to toothbrush holders, bioethicist and journalist Elizabeth Yuko explains how infectious diseases like tuberculosis and influenza have shaped American bathroom design. And, we explore how the current pandemic could inspire a new wave of innovation in the bathroom.”
Spent
SPENT is a money podcast for the financially challenged hosted by Lindsay Goldwert.
"At this very moment, people are putting out a digital bucket and asking for donations for everything from legal bills to fertility treatments to moving costs to cancer care. You can crowdfund anything from a theater project, a friend's medical bills or even to get your favorite band back together.
The world of crowdfunding is different than other kinds of fundraising. Who decides what causes are "just?" What are the ethical implications of giving money to fund a friend's fertility treatments? I asked Dr. Elizabeth Yuko, a bioethicist and writer to tell me all about it."

Repro-Madness: The Lady Parts Justice Podcast
"We found the perfect bioethicist for Lady Parts Justice! Her name is Elizabeth Yuko. She’s a feminist, specializes in Reproductive Ethics, and often shares her wisdom with a sense of humor. In fact, she even uses The Golden Girls as an analogy to teach bioethics to people who may not normally be that interested in the subject. LPJ had the pleasure of hosting her at the clubhouse." - Via LPJ Website. Stream the episode on Soundcloud.
