    A friend shared this podcast with me. Led with the TRT episode. I dunno why he shared it with me other than I’ve been studying the TRT topic for years and therapies for better health outcomes.

    I love it when they review whether or not the fraudsters actions were worthwhile in a pragmatic sense.  Production values should be higher so if you can be a patron at a notable level, please do.

    I have no idea when I left a review before but at the time I complained about the production values but they’ve improved because I don’t notice them anymore. Although my recent review discusses other podcasts I’m doing so because I suspect most of the listeners and the hosts are intelligent and curiou... more
