Out of Patients with Matthew Zachary
Out of Patients with Matthew Zachary
Matthew Zachary is the healthcare policy love child of Jon Stewart, Howard Stern, Thomas Paine, Ralph Nader, and Jerry Seinfeld. He has 19 years of receipts to prove it. Editorially independent. Answerable to no one. What started as The Stupid Cancer Show in 2007 became Out of Patients. The first online health podcast in America, predating the medium itself. Zachary survived brain cancer at 21, built the young adult cancer movement from scratch, and spent two decades channeling patient rage into something the system never saw coming. Now he is marching into Washington. Out of Patients goes where the comfortable shows will not. Politics. Healthcare policy. Economics. Institutional accountability. Consumer protection. The forces shaping what 330 million Americans can access, afford, and survive. Battle-scarred patients. Exhausted caregivers. Rare insiders brave enough to name what is killing us. And the occasional elected official about to find out what an organized patient constituency actually looks like. This is the show that started the conversation America is still not ready to finish.

Can Science Speak "Person"?: A Quandary for Dr. Catharine Young

Can Science Speak "Person"?: A Quandary for Dr. Catharine Young

On today’s show, returning champion Dr. Catharine Young, former Senior Director of Science Policy at the Biden Cancer Initiative, and current Executive Director at the SHEPHERD foundation. A human of many hats, she’s also a TED Fellow, Presidential Leadership Scholar, and Doctor of Philosophy with one of the most awesomely sardonic Twitter feeds around @CatYoung. Catharine was one of my very first guests on the program, SO if you want to hop in your Delorean and check out Episode 5 from March 26th. This time around, we talk COVID-ish stuff, pivoting your nonprofits in a crisis, helping scientists learn to speak “person,” the egregious misgivings of confirmation bias during a pandemic, and how the science of ophthalmology must change perfect vision to 2019 or 2021 because 2020 is dead to us and there forever shall no longer be hindsight as we know it.
