Episode 01: This is a Podcast About the Pill

Setting the stage for an exploration of birth control
Time: 44:15
The dominant understanding of the pill is that it was a great liberator of women. That, for the first time ever, it allowed women to take control of their reproductive destinies. But…is that true? 
In this week’s episode we set the stage for exploring the role of hormonal birth control in a post-Roe America. Like, what did birth control look like before the pill? Why have conversations around the pill become increasingly polarized? Is it possible to critique certain forms of contraception without compromising reproductive autonomy? And what does it mean when we put all the responsibility for preventing pregnancy onto women, especially in a landscape that’s increasingly hostile to reproductive rights?

Description

Chaos and Control is a documentary-style podcast exploring the story of birth control in America. It takes a critical look at the history of the birth control movement and the development of the pill, the work and impact of various women's health movements, the criminalization of contraception and abortion, and the social and cultural systems that have shaped the current conversation around birth control.
Like, what is the role of hormonal birth control in a post-Roe America? Is birth control toxic? Why are so many women sharing their negative experiences? What does contraception free from coercion look like? And most importantly, how did we get here? Explore these questions and more—as well as interviews with historians, sociologists, doulas, and young women—in Chaos & Control.
