  • Please Bring back Dr Bauchner

    I am extremely disappointed that this podcast has been discontinued. Dr Bauchner, if you read this, please start another podcast. As an ICU RN and an ED Specialist my Husband and I have leaned on the information provided in your conversations during the CoVID outbreak. We could desperately use your insightful conversations with Dr Fauci and all the other amazing Drs and scientists you connect with. Please come back-we need this information more than ever with the advance of Delta.

  • One of the best interviewers

    It's an art to interview the variety of people "in COVID" some of whom may not have the best intentions or information but need to be heard & some of whom may need some structure to communicate their information well to non specialists or lay people. I'm so glad Dr Bauchner is still doing these interviews. The best for hearing all important viewpoints well & excellent information from primary sources. I still use some of these interview as key sources for COVID discussions.

  • Interesting podcasts

    I am a retired pharmacist and I started tuning in after my daughter’s physician mentioned he listened to them. I wanted to get accurate information on COVID 19. Dr. Bauchner is an excellent interviewer gathering his own questions as well as those of the listeners. He has a good sense of humor which makes the podcasts even better.

  • Excellent podcast

    This is really an excellent podcast, specially for physicians who are interested in various aspects of healthcare. I subscribe to JAMA and so I do have access to the published articles. But this podcast selects the more important recent article/articles and goes much beyond the written article with an interview with the author or authors to discuss its real significance in healthcare. Dr. Bauchner is excellent in his role as a very knowledgeable host asking the most pertinent questions, and the ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Social Media Use by Children – wonderful, hazardous, or something in-between?
Q: What makes social media different from other addictive substances or activities?
Though it shares the same neural circuitry with substances like alcohol or tobacco, the industry's design features—such as edits for appearance, likes, and endless scrolling—play a critical role in keeping users engaged, particularly youths who have developing executive function.
Social Media Use by Children – wonderful, hazardous, or something in-between?
Q: Can you explain the basic biology of what's happening in the brain with social media exposure in developing minds?
The dopamine reward pathway is activated by social praise and other stimuli, reinforcing behaviors and creating a cycle that can lead to compulsive use, similar to other addictions, especially when platforms are engineered to maximize engagement.
Rethinking the Autism "Epidemic": What's Driving the Rise in Diagnosis
Q: What is autism, and what do we know about its causes and treatments?
The guests explain that autism is defined by core features in social communication, interaction, and repetitive behaviors, with the understanding that the definition has broadened over time. Genetics play a primary role, with identified genes present in a minority of cases, and many other risk factors exist (pregnancy complications, preterm birth, parental age). Treatments emphasize early, intensive behavioral interventions to improve communication and adaptive skills, while recognizing that the goal is often to enable autistic individuals to function well in society rather than to “cure” autism.
Private Equity's Growing Presence in Health Care: Promise or Peril?
Q: Why would PE invest in health care, given tight margins and regulatory scrutiny?
PE seeks to improve efficiency, negotiate better with vendors, and bring capital for new technologies and service lines, aiming to raise profits through cost reductions and revenue enhancements, though results vary by sector and deal.
Private Equity's Growing Presence in Health Care: Promise or Peril?
Q: What is private equity, and how does it differ from public financing?
PE is money from private sources, like pension funds or endowments, managed by PE firms, with an emphasis on operational improvements and a defined exit horizon, unlike public markets that involve broader shareholder bases.
