20 分钟Hey Indicator listeners, Darian Woods here.
We are off for the holiday, so instead,
today we are sharing a recent bonus episode with you.
If you're a Planet Money Plus supporter, thank you, you already got this earlier.
If you're not signed up for Plus,
let me just tell you that bonus episodes like this one come out every couple of weeks in the Planet Money feed.
By joining, you also get Planet Money, the Indicator,
and Planet Money Summer School without the sponsor messages.
And speaking of summer school, when the new season kicks off next week,
Plus supporters will get early access to new episodes.
You get to listen before everybody else.
So even more reasons to sign up.
Just go to plus.npr.org for details.
We'll be back with a regular episode of The Indicator on Monday.
John Cohen, a veteran journalist who covers global health,
was on a reporting trip last month in southern Africa.
One of his stops, a local health clinic in the small country of Lesotho.
John says in the waiting room,
you could see how cuts to US HIV AIDS funding are already playing out there.
The room, he said, was jam-packed with pregnant women.
