Podcasts by Pad Leaks
Seeking to dismantle the stigma of incontinence, this padcast rethinks society from the perspective of leaking bodies. We discuss urine and feacal leakages from a whole variety of perspectives, from the micro-level of individual experiences to its macro-impacts on political economies. We explore the treatments available, and introduce folks to different continence management technologies and their markets. We discuss the future of these health technologies - and the increasing need for ecologically sustainable inventions. The padcast is part of a research project "Emergent un/sustainabilities of care: The global political economy of the adult incontinence pad", led by Dr Tiina Vaittinen and funded by the Academy of Finland and Kone Foundation.
