Very poor audio...
Sir Michael Marmot and other well respected experts make this an interesting and credible podcast. Chris can Tulleken on ultra processed foods was an especially good listen.
What a great series after working as a nurse in primary care for the last twenty years in an area of deprivation it is lovely to hear someone tackle all these issues rather than come up with some tick box rubbish to just highlight differences.
I’m really enjoying this podcast and the topics discussed. I think there is nothing more important right now than analysing the issues we have in society, the intersection of the various and many problems that people face, and this podcast looks to raise these and talk about solutions. Thank you!
I hope the episodes continue to be this good: great topic and great conversation ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
