About this Episode

Journalists Kai Wright and Lizzy Ratner talk with The City editor-in-chief Richard Kim about their Blindspot podcast digging into the early years of the HIV/AIDS epidemic and focusing on overlooked populations including intravenous drug users, incarcerated people, and the pediatric patients separated from their families "who lived and died their entire lives on the ward of Harlem Hospital" — and the individuals and communities who stepped up and stepped in where institutions failed.
