20 - Birth and Death in America (w/ Sanjeev Sriram)

In our last full episode of season one, Briahna talks with Dr. Sanjeev Sriram, aka “Doctor America,” about why the US has the highest maternal mortality rate in the developed world, why the mortality rate for groups like African American mothers, however well-off and educated, is so particularly high, and what can be done to begin to close that gap. We end with a letter and song from one of our listeners.
