  • I wasn’t able to listen to this one

    Hi there, Was anyone else able to listen to the January 26 episode, entitled, “Adressing the Omicron Variant SARS-CoV-2?” I’m a religious listener and would still like to hear this one but every time I try to open a notice pops up saying that the episode is temporarily unavailable.

  • Interview Titles

    These audio interviews are great however I would like to make a observation/recommendation. My observation is that in most cases when deciding which podcast to listen to the topic is more important then the author. Because of the format of the podcast listings in iTunes, the author is always visible, but the topic is almost always truncated. Therefore, my suggestion would be to list the topic title before the author in the list of available podcasts.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

NEJM Interview: Anjali Deshmukh on legal challenges to fines issued by federal agencies.
Q: What guidance has the court provided in recent years about the permissibility of these civil monetary penalties?
Deshmukh explains that Supreme Court decisions have addressed when the Seventh Amendment requires a jury trial, while more recent cases have considered how that right and the public rights exception apply to agency fines. Outcomes vary by the statutory structure and the type of agency action.
NEJM Interview: Anjali Deshmukh on legal challenges to fines issued by federal agencies.
Q: What have been the benefits and perhaps the limitations of this enforcement approach?
Administrative penalties can be faster and cheaper than jury trials, and specialized decision makers can promote consistency and predictability. But delayed enforcement may benefit parties seeking to postpone consequences, and reduced enforcement can weaken deterrence.
NEJM Interview: Matthew Vogel on the emergence of clinical trial prediction markets.
Q: What types of regulatory safeguards could help prevent the harm that might be associated with clinical trial prediction markets, and do you think regulation or policy making in this area is likely?
Vogel says oversight should recognize that clinical trial contracts are distinct from other bets and involve both the CFTC, which oversees market integrity, and the FDA, which is responsible for clinical trial integrity.
NEJM Interview: Matthew Vogel on the emergence of clinical trial prediction markets.
Q: How do online prediction market platforms work, and how do they differ from other types of gambling platforms?
They allow users to wager on whether an event will occur, with contract prices often interpreted as probabilities. Unlike ordinary gambling, their trades can aggregate information with potential social value.
NEJM Interview: Lena Makaroun on opportunities for clinicians to address firearm-related risks with their older patients.
Q: What practical steps can clinicians take now to start incorporating firearm safety discussions?
Clinicians should practice talking about firearms, role-play with colleagues, ensure they have resources to intervene if needed, and consider distributing safe storage devices or linking to educational content to support patients immediately.
