Incubation is a podcast that traces the history of humanity through viruses. In the show’s second season, host Jacob Goldstein takes us behind the scenes of virus science in interviews with leading researchers, doctors, and historians. It’s a journey full of discovery, heartbreak, heroic nerds and lucky breaks. Humans are locked in an evolutionary contest with the world of viruses, and these stories show us how vaccines and new technologies are changing the game. Incubation drops weekly on Thursdays starting October 17th.
