The Global Game of Implants is a long-form investigative podcast series examining the global systems that govern breast implants — and the consequences when those systems fail.

 

Hosted by Jan Spivey, the series brings together lived experience, clinical insight, regulatory history, and legal analysis to explore how harm is produced, managed, denied, and sometimes obscured across borders and institutions.

 

Jan is a co-founder of the PIP Action Campaign and has spent more than a decade documenting the aftermath of the PIP breast implant fraud, alongside the wider failures of oversight, traceability, and accountability that continue to affect women worldwide.

 

Her work is grounded not in advocacy rhetoric, but in evidence: regulatory records, clinical findings, parliamentary proceedings, and the testimonies of women whose experiences were never formally counted.

 

This podcast exists to make those systems legible.

 

It is for women living with implants, those who have had them removed, clinicians, policymakers, journalists, and anyone seeking to understand how medical devices move through regulatory frameworks — and what happens when responsibility fragments over time.
