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.

Come again? Confronting Infertility with Barb Collura

Come again? Confronting Infertility with Barb Collura

Today’s show about fertility and family planing is very personal to millions of people. Because, while you may want to be a biological mom or dad one day, bad things happen to good people. Joining me is perhaps one of the most unsung advocacy heroes you may never have heard of, Barb Collura, the President and CEO of RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association. One in eight couples struggle with infertility, and that’s not discount the single men and women who may not have a partner yet to build a family with. Let alone the hundreds of thousands born infertile or left infertile from cancer, chronic disease, or other reasons. Barb is THE go-to expert fighting on our behalf with the National Institutes of Health, The National Cancer Institute, The National Health Council, and — yes — The World Health Organization because they are actually an incredible governing body. So whether you have sperm, eggs, embryos, a uterus, or some or NONE of those things, this episode is the story of you. And bonus points if you can say the word IATROGENIC ten times fast, and/or perhaps find a word that rhymes with it.
