Death Cramps: Cuz We've Never Really Studied the Female Body
On Inauguration Day 2025, Emme sat down with old Museum Hack/Caveat/NYC theatre compatriot, magnificent podcast producer, and dear friend Kate Helen Downey as Los Angeles continued to be on fire to talk about a DIFFERENT kind of pain and confusion, that of death cramps. Yes, an elephant in the room for MOST people with uteruses -- menstruation, and especially dysmenorrhea and what causes it and where it comes from. Kate's new podcast CRAMPED is a limited series deep dive into researching and communicating about not only her mystery condition, but women's health and the medical system and why we can't figure out what's going on with SO MANY PEOPLE's experiences of intense pain. Find CRAMPED wherever you get your podcasts, it is well worth the listen and quite an inspiration for me too.
