  • Fascinating with high production value!

    Typically I shy away from low review podcasts because they usually have lower production value, but this one sounds like anything produced from apm or npr. A fascinating podcast and super informative without any “ums” or off-topic ramblings

  • AMAZING podcast!

    I am a YouTuber and know how much effort goes behind this research and getting all the interviews. I just listened to the episode on PFAS and my jaw just dropped to the floor at how good it was.

  • Know your food

    This is such important research. For decades we have taken for granted that an item labeled food is food. At the same time corporate food production and the fda have allowed us to lose sight of what real food is. Why do stores wrap organic produce in plastic on a styrofoam tray? Some grocery workers think it’s illegal for organic produce to touch conventional produce.
