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 Long and Winding COVID Road

The Long and Winding COVID Road

COVID-19 is the gift that keeps on giving to far too many people. While it's nice to think, "OK, we're done here," experts worldwide continue to struggle to make sense of the continuing mystery of Long COVID. On the show today, Dr. David Putrino, Director Of Rehabilitation Innovation at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, joins returning champion Mette Dyhrberg, Founder & CEO of MyMee, for a deep dive conversation to try and make sense of the madness. For example, why are only certain people disproportionally affected? Could there be an undiscovered genetic component? Might it just be bad luck? What do we have to look forward to in the next couple of years? And how does this set the stage for the next inevitable pandemic? Enjoy the show.
