  • Fantastic round up of latest healthcare news

    This is my go-to podcast for everything happening in the healthcare industry, and the connection to AI and finance. The coverage is fair and objective, and as apolitical as I’ve seen.

  • Insufferable

    This show was recommended to me recently. I honestly cannot believe this is a podcast. Perhaps I’m judging too much based on that last episode, but the young guy who is very aggresssive and cocky and sounded like he might have not been sober, was cussing about some woman who’d been on previously. Literally cussing out some woman. It was absolutely insufferable and anyone who invests based on what they hear from this show should not be in charge of money.

  • Great Podcast and Guests

    Enough can’t be said about the topics and substance.

    Room for improvement: hard to hear even with headphones on. Please use better mics. It’s hard to hear. It sounds like it was recorded with a tape recorder left in middle of the room.

  • Great content but not so great mic quality

    I really enjoy listening to the podcast but often find myself struggling with the host (I believe steve) fading out mid sentence in the microphone. I have listened to multiple and my guess is he turns away to read a note or something but it is really distracting and I miss out on points being discussed. When I crank up the volume to hear, the sound level is way loud when back towards the mic. Would love to be able to focus on the content more than straining to hear!
