Reviews

4.3 out of 5 stars from 26 ratings
  • Un-listenable cacophony

    The host speaks too fast to be discernible and the guests call into the show on telephones that sound like they’re from the 1990s. How can you be interesting or intelligent if no one can hear or understand you??

    Don’t waste your time on this amateur hour.

The New Yorker’s Dr. Khullar: Restoring Trust in CDC Could Take “Decades”
Q: You recently wrote a column in The New Yorker about the undermining of the CDC. Can you summarize what's happening and why it matters?
The guest explains that apolitical health guidance is being shadowed by political considerations, with science and public health expertise at risk of being sidelined, which undermines trust and the effectiveness of health policy.
Your Role in Truth Initiative’s New Vape Battle
Q: How are you tailoring cessation programs to diverse communities, and what partnerships are you leveraging?
The program uses demographic and psychographic insights to culturally tailor messages, and partnerships like NAACP help deliver prevention and cessation messaging through trusted channels.
Your Role in Truth Initiative’s New Vape Battle
Q: What is your view on FDA authorization of Juul's tobacco and menthol flavors and their potential to help adult smokers switch away from cigarettes?
There is truth that FDA's high scientific bar can permit certain FDA-authorized products for adults, aiming to reduce harm for smokers who switch, but not for nicotine-naive youth.
Your Role in Truth Initiative’s New Vape Battle
Q: Kathy, what does the current legislation look like and where does it stand in Congress?
FDA currently has authority to regulate these products and has denied most applications that fail to protect public health; the focus is on strengthening oversight and retailer accountability to curb youth access.
Alzheimer’s: New Research on When Symptoms Start & Prevention
Q: Can you clarify the distinction between dementia and Alzheimer's?
Alzheimer's is a specific type of dementia caused by unique brain changes, while dementia itself is an umbrella term for cognitive decline from various causes.
