Chaos & Control

Chaos and Control is a documentary-style podcast exploring the story of birth control in America. It takes a critical look at the history of the birth control movement and the development of the pill, the work and impact of various women's health movements, the criminalization of contraception and abortion, and the social and cultural systems that have shaped the current conversation around birth control.

Like, what is the role of hormonal birth control in a post-Roe America? Is birth control toxic? Why are so many women sharing their negative experiences? What does contraception free from coercion look like? And most importantly, how did we get here? Explore these questions and more—as well as interviews with historians, sociologists, doulas, and young women—in Chaos & Control.
