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.

The Binghamton Musical Theater Nerd Story with Darren Petronella

The Binghamton Musical Theater Nerd Story with Darren Petronella

The Wayback Machine was in full force today when my buddy Darren Petronella dropped by the studio for an IRL nostalgia-driven, GenX-themed episode about aging gracefully and our modern-day "Get Off My Lawn" grievances about life, the universe, and everything. Darren and I first met while undergraduates at SUNY Binghamton, with a common thread being musical theater nerds. His claim to fame, says me, was his epic rendition of "Corner of the Sky" from Pippin, and who knew all these years later, we'd meet up in person, and it would be like we'd not missed a day in over 30 years. Oh yes, and healthcare shenanigans abound. Enjoy the show.
