Many of the people affected by the current global monkeypox outbreak are reported to be men who identify as gay or bisexual, or men who have sex with men.
The virus can affect anyone, but in response to where the majority of cases are, public health officials are gearing their information toward communities of gay and bisexual men. And that has some saying that the messaging echoes back to the HIV/AIDS crisis and has the potential to stigmatize the gay community while missing others who are susceptible to the disease.
We speak with Dr. Boghuma K. Titanji, physician and clinical researcher in infectious diseases at Emory University, about the lessons public health officials can learn from the HIV/AIDS crisis of the 80s and 90s.
And Northwestern University journalism professor Steven Thrasher talks about his recent article for Scientific American, "Blaming Gay Men for Monkeypox Will Harm Everyone."

The Gist - BEST OF THE GIST: Eddie Glaude
In this installment of Best Of The Gist, we listen back to Mike’s August 7, 2020 interview with Dr. Eddie Glaude, Jr. of Princeton University. The two discussed Glaude’s newest book and its release in the context of the recent civil uprisings. Begin Again: James Baldwin's America and Its Urgent Lessons for Our Own poses a fundamental argument around how getting it wrong culturally has hurt the fabric of our nation. Glaude helps make sense of where we are today and explains that Baldwin understood our messy and uneven economic, social, and political lives are simply a reflection of our individual selves.
And then we listen back to Mike’s Spiel from last Friday, June 10, 2022, when he noticed that a particular world came up again and again when the media described the first January 6th hearing. Trust us…it’s powerful.
Produced by Joel Patterson and Corey Wara

Everything Everywhere Daily - The History of Horses in North America
When one thinks of the history of North America, it often invokes images of native Americans and cowboys riding on horseback.
However, horses weren’t in the Westen Hemisphere when Europeans arrived. There was a time when if native people had to move from one place to another, they had to do so on foot.
But, while that is true, the truth is more complex because if you go back far enough, there was a time when horses were in North America.
Learn more about the complicated history of horses in North America, and how they unleashed a revolution, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The NewsWorthy - Special Edition: Pain at the Pump – Why Is Gas So Expensive?
Gas prices have been rising for two months straight. Now, on average, a tank of gas costs more than $5 nationwide. To try to bring prices back down, an organization of the world’s biggest oil producers, OPEC+, has promised to increase production. And here in the U.S., the federal government has been releasing one million barrels of oil a day from its gas reserves.
So why are prices still high? Today we’ll hear from trusted and well-known expert Patrick De Haan, the head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. Patrick is breaking down, step by step, how we got here and revealing insights into the oil market that you don’t often hear about.
