- My favorite podcast
Aubrey and Michael provide the nuance we need: well researched information about how policy affects our lives, validation for the horror show we are experiencing, and much-needed laughs at everything from supplement sheisters to failed tagline puns. Simultaneously my comfort listen and how I have expanded my knowledge on health policy in the U.S.
