Plagues with Dr. Keith

They came without warning, they
emptied cities, they rewrote

the course of civilization.

I'm Dr.

Keith Sumi, a practicing ER
doctor who spent my career on

the front lines of medicine.

But long before I ever picked up a
stethoscope, I was obsessed with a

question: How do the worst outbreaks
in human history actually happen?

And why do we keep
making the same mistakes?

This is Plagues with Dr.

Keith.

Every episode, we go into one of history's
most devastating pandemics, the science

of how they spread, the history of how
societies responded, and the sociology of

those who survived, who didn't, and why.

From the Black Death to the 1918 flu,
from cholera to COVID, I'll bring you

medicine only as a doctor can explain it,
and the human story behind the numbers.

If you've ever wondered what
really happens when disease

meets society, this is your show.

Plagues with Dr.

Keith, new episodes wherever
you get your podcasts.
