On June 24, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court issued the Dobbs Decision. Overnight, Americans lost the protections on abortion care that Roe v. Wade had afforded for almost 50 years. Soon afterward, The Nocturnists began talking to abortion providers around the country. Their personal and professional stories comprise The Nocturnists: Post-Roe America—a 7-episode podcast series featuring the stories of abortion providers from Texas to Tennessee, Oklahoma to Ohio, and beyond.
