- Exactly what I was looking for.
This podcast is heavy on facts and policy background and not necessarily and opinion show and has limited political commentary. As they say “just the facts ma’am”. This is exactly what I wanted to find. The interviewer and guests are obviously knowledgeable and experts in the field.

United States5 years ago - Informative and Interesting
Every episode is a new topic and I enjoy that. Episodes introduce new people and ideas. Ethical issues with the current system are commonly discussed. Very enlightening. If you like to think critically about current healthcare topics then you will probably enjoy this podcast.
Apple Podcasts5Hannah1596United States6 years ago - Interesting and in-depth
I’ve been thoroughly enjoying these episodes. I especially like the background and context setting that Niall does every episode. Looking forward to hearing more topics from industry experts. I haven’t found this podcast to be particularly biased, but it’s probably a pitfall of the “single interviewee” concept—it’d be nice to do some of these topics with a panel with varying perspectives.
Apple Podcasts5BrookRunnerUnited States8 years ago - Not what I was hoping for
I was looking for a podcast that gave informative updates about the US healthcare and as a manager or a doctors office something to lee me in the loop. Some interviews were interesting but not what I was looking for. It’s very progressive, and topics are pretty niche from a pro big-government point of view.
Apple Podcasts2steroids87United States8 years ago - Another liberal echo chamber
This is not really a podcast about healthcare policy. It is a political podcast aimed at disparaging Republicans, President Trump, the wealthy, and anyone else deemed undesirable by the liberal elite in
America. However, if you are a social justice warrior and it stepping out what privilege, redistributing the will of the greedy one percent, then this is the podcast for you.
