For this episode of Theoryish, we looked at Michel Foucault's The Birth of Biopolitics with our first guest of the podcast, James Whitfield. As this is a bit of a longer text, we looked at Chapter 2: 17 January 1979 and Chapter 10: 21 March 1979.

Fan Fiction
Note: we have not always read the fan fictions all the way through, and so often rely on tags and summaries to find pieces. We will usually state if we have read the fan fictions in the episode, and so please approach these with your own discretion.
