  • I came for unbiased science but feel like I got a lecture from the pharmaceutical industry. Look for honest and engaged inquiry elsewhere.

  • Science Without the Politics

    I really appreciate that the hosts (and guests) use scientific grounding as the basis of their arguments. In a day and age where politics are so divisive, it’s refreshing to have a podcast that dishes me the facts and expert opinions, and then gives me the tools and information so that I can make my own evidence-based conclusions about each topic they discuss. So grateful for the hosts who sift through the clickbait and present scientific facts.

  • Obviously biased

    And the obvious biases cause these scientists to gumby themselves into recommendations that on their face don’t even make sense.
