  • Listen Now: Uncared For is Back!
    Aug 6 2025

    In a country that feels more divided than ever, there’s one thing almost everyone agrees on: our healthcare system is broken. From crushing medical debt to rural hospital closures, deep Medicaid cuts, and the growing burden of insurance denials, too many Americans are falling through the cracks.

    In Uncared For, award-winning journalist SuChin Pak (Add to Cart, MTV News) investigates the personal and political forces behind our fractured system. This season, the show zooms out to examine the healthcare system as a whole. Through deeply personal stories and expert insight, Uncared For uncovers why so many people feel, quite literally, uncared for — and what it would take to build something better.

    Apr 9 2024

    “doctor week” is a week i dread every year. it’s a week where i stuff as many doctor’s appointments in as possible because i dread them so much that i want to get them all over with as quickly as possible. this time, the appointments were a mammogram, ultrasound, pap smear, genetic testing, and an egg freezing consultation. i talk about what these appointments brought up for me emotionally, in the most i-have-zero-credentials-and-am-clearly-not-a-doctor sort of way.

    i used to be an “underdog”. it was a narrative that fueled me. nowadays i don’t have the external circumstances that support that narrative, so what do i do now ? no i’m actually asking. this isn’t rhetorical. i’m literally asking you, the reader, to tell me what to do now. you can send ideas to my managers, norm & derek, at mainstay entertainment.
