Tim Schwab (@timothywschwab), an investigative journalist based in Washington DC, whose work has appeared in The Nation, the Columbia Journalism Review, the British Medical Journal and other outlets.

We talk about philanthropy and power, and the ethical implications of this facet of concentrated wealth. We discuss implications for public health, vaccine distribution and more, while examining how this type of philanthropy perpetuates existing power structures and undermines health in insidious ways.

Tim is currently writing a book about Bill Gates and the Gates Foundation; The Bill Gates Problem, which is available for pre-order anywhere you buy books.
