  • Excellent educated and informative content

    I have been listening to this podcast for several years now. It has been consistently relevant , reporting on up to date research in a relaxed style - almost concealing the extremely detailed ongoing research needed to keep up to date with the latest developments on an extremely wide range of topics. It is easily the podcast with the greatest concentration of actual information - science based with no agendas- but bringing an objective evidence based view to medical and pharmaceutical issues. ... more

  • I love this program

    I’ve been listening to The People’s Pharmacy on WUSF for many years and just discovered that it’s on podcasts I can access on my phone ! I have recommended the show to many friends and have learned helpful & interesting information about health. What I find most compelling in the information is that the answers aren’t always “take this pharmaceutical.” Thank you & I hope your program continues for many years to come. You provide a great public service.

  • Self Absorbed and Obnoxious

    Joe and Terry are highly devoted to talking excessively about themselves. It’s obnoxious and tedious since they’re not as interesting as they seem to think they are. But the most grating thing they do is their frequent lapse into “baby voice.” Yuck ! Adults should never use cutsie baby talk and baby voice. It’s disgusting. They also recently claimed that an I-Watch couldn’t possibly be dangerous to wear because, well, Joe wears one and he’s careful. How dumb ! What a non sequitur. Apple watches ... more
