  • Really informative and relevant

    Great coverage by the three hosts.

    Only area of improvement is if the audio editor can adjust the volume for all speakers to be equal because for some reason Elaine’s mic tends to be the loudest and I have to keep adjusting the volume for each speaker.

  • Great pod!

    This is a great overview of the biopharm space with an engaging and fun style. I also like the unrelated chat amongst the team, particularly as a fellow fan of the Great British Bake Off, given this is an industry that can often take itself very seriously!

  • Please reboot the old quality bar

    This podcast was a gold mine a few years back. Really miss that run you had. Adam is good but even he was better back when surrounded with higher caliber cohosts.

  • Way Too Political

    Like others have mentioned, this podcast has become way too political in how it covers this sector. Please cover the content with a little bit more neutrality, because it erodes the credibility of the hosts.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

388: The FDA's refusal to review Moderna's mRNA flu vaccine
Q: How do you reply to that?
We were investing almost a billion dollars in that phase three and this dramatic refusal feels unwarranted after prior agreement from the FDA.
388: The FDA's refusal to review Moderna's mRNA flu vaccine
Q: So one of the big ideas for mRNA vaccines has always been to develop flu shots using that technology?
Moderna's clinical trial was not adequate and well-controlled, according to the FDA.
From Drug Story: Lipitor and Heart Disease
Q: What are some of the risks associated with taking Statins like Atorvastatin?
Dr. Rita Redberg discussed that while statins can prevent heart disease, they also come with side effects, many of which are underreported.
From Drug Story: Lipitor and Heart Disease
Q: How has your experience with Atorvastatin been over the years?
Joe Bagnoli shared that he has taken Atorvastatin for 29 years and that it has effectively lowered his cholesterol numbers.
386: The high stakes for Huntington's patients
Q: What do you think will happen, and what are you hoping for regarding UniQure's meeting with the FDA?
I'm hoping for clear guidance from the FDA and for them to honor their initial guidance regarding approval. There's fear that we might be looking at a worst-case scenario by adding more years to the waiting period without treatment.
