Beatrice Adler-Bolton

Beatrice Adler-Bolton is an artist and writer, currently completing an MA in CUNY's disability studies program. She is disabled and chronically ill, a subject position which made clear to her how untenable the American left's approach to health care legislation was.

She, Artie Vierkant, and social scientist Philip Rocco started the Death Panel podcast in 2018, a popular twice-weekly podcast on "struggles over healthcare, economic inequality, social justice, and the people, policies, and media narratives that stand in the way." Death Panel has a listener-initiated reading group on disability justice and has become a "cult hit" in the art world.
