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.

Introducing the #BCSM Podcast

Introducing the #BCSM Podcast

Today, instead of my usual shenanigans, I’d like to treat you to something very special that we have been working on here at OffScrip Media.One of the privileges we have here besides creating and producing epic shows on our network like Am I Dying, Brave New Weed, and NORDpod, is the ability to diversity and expand to producing original series — and we think you’re really going to like what you’re about to listen to. We are handing over the entirety of today’s show to episode 1 of The #BCSM Podcast, a 3-part narrative about how breast cancer patients dared to be the change they wished to see, saw an opportunity to fill a need and created the Breast Cancer Social Media Community, or BCSM. What began in 2011 as a conversation on Twitter between two intrepid young adult breast cancer survivors has evolved into a global network of patients, caregivers, clinicians, and researchers dedicated to empowering those affected by breast cancer. Once you listen to this episode, I urge you to subscribe to the series by searching for B-C-S-M in your favorite podcasting app. This is a labor of love for us. I promise you: you will not be disappointed. And now, without further ado, please enjoy episode one of BCSM.
