From Skirts to Scrubs
From Skirts to Scrubs began as most good ideas do…with a 1 AM phone call
Before Charlotte Thill and Alesha Kotian started medical school, they were just two regular best friends. It was during quarantine in 2020 that one night, Charlotte called Alesha with an idea: to start a podcast that brought together their backgrounds in history and gender studies, and tell stories with a feminist twist. They called the podcast “From Skirts to Scrubs” to symbolize the transition from women wearing skirts and living within prescribed gender roles to their entry into medicine as healthcare providers.

Ep. 80 Wrapped Up: The History of Condoms – From Skirts To Scrubs
From goat bladders and tortoise shells to Trojan ads and modern latex, this week Alesha and Charlotte discuss the history of another form of birth control, condoms! In Episode 80, they explore how condoms evolved through syphilis outbreaks, world wars, changing attitudes toward sex, and the HIV/AIDS epidemic to become one of the most important tools in public health in history and why they remain such an important part of sexual health today.
