My name is Joshua Topolsky and I have a new podcast called What Future.

But I want to tell you that I'm being forced by my producer to record a promo telling you about my show.

And I'm not trying to force you to listen to it.

And maybe you're not interested in internet culture and the future of life on planet Earth.

And why John Carpenter movies are so good.

You may just want to listen to a podcast about, I don't know, sports or whatever Joe Rogan talks about.

And that's fine, you know, no judgment.

But if you like what you're hearing and I know that you do, you can listen to all of what future on the I Heart Radio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

Every week hundreds of thousands of fans download the popular stuff they don't want you to know podcast to get to the bottom of popular cultures biggest myths.

And now the stuff they don't want you to know book separates conspiracy fact from conspiracy theory from biological testing to our endless fascination with the Kennedy assassination.

This holiday season give the gift that explains the unexplainable the stuff they don't want you to know book available now order at stuff you should read books dot com or wherever you buy your books.

Kelsey Rhodes is one of the first people we spoke to when we were reporting this series. She's the interim director of communications at physicians for reproductive health.

And she's part of a team that put together guidance for journalists who are reporting on abortion guidance that has been integral to this podcast.

I think the number one tip is to center the lived experiences of folks who are actually impacted by abortion bands. So how are we centering what's going on with patients?

How are we centering what's going on with the folks who are really providing that care and making that care possible? How are we listening to the lives that they're leading?

How this has impacted them, how it makes them feel as opposed to centering the folks that are trying to strip this away and remove this from communities.

Abortion should be able to be as public or as private as you want. No one should be forced to put their lives on display if they don't want to.

But we do have a lot of amazing abortion storytellers who want to share how either life changing or absolutely normal and boring their abortion was for them.
