Summary

This is it, y'all: the season finale. This week we’re talking about HIV/AIDS, one of the biggest pandemics of modern times. We were fortunate enough to speak with three individuals who have had vastly different experiences with HIV/AIDS. Frank Iamelli, who took care of many of his friends throughout the epidemic, Hillel Wasserman, who has been living with HIV since 1987, and Brryan Jackson who was diagnosed with AIDS when he was only 5 years old. In this episode, you'll get a glimpse into their stories and then we'll fill you in on all of the biology, history, and present state of HIV in the world. Don’t forget to tune in next week for our special bonus episode where you will get to hear more of Frank, Hillel, and Brryan's stories in depth. In the meantime, here are a couple of links to Brryan's website and Being Alive LA which you'll hear more about next week!

0:15.6	right, on Amazon Music, or wherever you get your podcasts. Like the short, and it's full of a
0:21.0	lot of interesting questions. What does happiness really mean? How do I get the most out of my time,
0:26.0	pure honor, and what really is the best cereal? These are the questions I seek to resolve on my weekly
0:32.5	podcast, Life is Short, with Justin Long. If you're looking for the answer to deep philosophical
0:37.1	questions, like, what is the meaning of life? I can't really help you, but I do believe that we
0:42.1	really enrich our experience here by learning from others. And that's why in each episode,
0:47.0	I like to talk with actors, musicians, artists, scientists, and many more types of people about how
0:53.2	they get the most out of life. We explore how they felt during the highs, and sometimes more importantly,
0:59.6	the lows of their careers. We discuss how they've been able to stay happy during some of the harder
1:04.2	times. But if I'm being honest, it's mostly just fun chats between friends about the important stuff.
