    Miles: Many public health authorities and media outlets are ignoring the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

    Betsy: They’re also failing to cover Long COVID, the most common adverse outcome of COVID-19.

    Miles: I’m Miles Griffis.

    Betsy: And I’m Betsy Ladyzhets. We’re the co-founders of The Sick Times.

    Miles: We are covering the continued Long COVID crisis that affects over four hundred million people globally.

    Betsy: We’ve been bringing you the latest Long COVID news and commentary from our non-profit newsroom since fall 2023.

    Miles: Without pandemic denial, minimizing, or gaslighting.

    Betsy: Now we’re expanding with a new weekly podcast.

    James: We’re calling it Still Here. Because we know disabled people, and COVID, are still here.

    I’m James Salanga, and I’m Still Here’s producer.

    Betsy: Come with us each week as we share the latest on Long COVID and COVID-19 in the United States, give you more context about the stories we’ve published on our website, and highlight new Long COVID research.

    Miles: We’ll bring the information and perspectives you need.

    James: Join us as we continue to hold powerful institutions accountable and amplify the lived experiences of those most impacted by the pandemic.

    Our first episode is coming to a podcast provider near you in early October. Stay tuned!
