  • Some Interesting Perspectives

    While the narrator might be a little dramatic, to the point of being a caricature, I think they raise a number of interesting questions about the media’s reluctance to cover this news. Which is what it is.

    When you consider the corporate/private equity ownership of SO many of the pieces of this puzzle…and the number of people who die under our current medical system…you just have to ask some questions.

    I would recommend giving it a listen just to hear about a topic not being covered elsewher... more

  • Awful apologetics

    This is not a news podcast, it’s a cry to excuse Luigi’s violent crime. Love Wondery generally — this podcast is the worst of current trends.
