Dr. Abdul El-Sayed and his guests are some of the most astute and morally consistent voices at the intersections of science, medicine, public health, politics, and society. “America Dissected” takes the metaphorical scalpel to plethoras of fundamental social, policy, and infrastructural...Read full review »

Love the variety of topics. Short enough to keep up and keeps you engaged with current events. Highly recommend.

I am not in the healthcare field or public service, but I always learn something about being a healthy human and responsible citizen when I listen to the podcast. Thanks for keeping me informed and entertained!

Powerful interview about the challenges we face around treatment of mental illness along with recommendations that can be implemented now. I was struck by the intersection of mental illness and those individuals who are unhoused. Our systems can do better with intentional action. Onward!

I LOVE this show because the topics are super relevant and interesting. I think my favorite thing about this show is that it is open about perspective and always yields to science and fact rather than repeating ignorant clickbait. It’s refreshing to find an independent podcast with the...Read full review »

Always a pleasure to listen to Dr El-Sayed shed light on interesting topic after interesting topic. Love this podcast!

I’m always learning something new from Abdul. Complicated concepts are discussed and broken down in a very nuanced way to be easily understood. Can’t recommend this show enough!
Cacti444 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/27/24
I really appreciate this podcast and it’s information. So many connections to health and public health that you wouldn’t necessarily put together are discussed in this podcast. it is a must lesson!

In the sports gambling episode Blackpool was said to be an example where gambling has caused societal rot. Conjectural comments like this, grounded in fantasy, make me start to question every other uber-confident expert pushed by this podcast.

One of my favorite podcasts. Intelligent, educated and scientifically sound discussions on medicine and public health. Dr. El-Sayed has a gift for helping lay people to understand the issues, the history and the barriers to better health for all.

Always excellent and I always learn something new. Bravo!

Love this podcast! I look forward to the new drop every week. Dr. Abdul is an informed and entertaining host centering his show around many of the critical issues facing America in the 21st century. Great soundtrack too!

Shame on Crooked, outside of this one episode. Your coverage has been egregious. Politics are comprehensive; everything is connected. Lead us.
Melinda in San Diego via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/03/24
Thank you for speaking up in support of Palestinians in no uncertain terms. To put it lightly, I’ve been disappointed in the rest of Crooked Media’s response to the war. Your viewpoint is sorely needed, and I appreciate you for sharing it.

Funny, informative and fascinating. Always a great time - keep it up!
CtJd2020 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/15/24
Abdul is such a great voice in this space. He is relatable and knowledgeable. He really tries to get his audience to be able to understand things at a basic level and this is so important! It also says something that many guests end conversations with ‘I really enjoyed having this discussion with...Read full review »

Really superb reporting on relevant public health topics. Been following since mid pandemic but just discovered his book Healing Politics, excellent as well.

Thank you Abdul for your amazing ability to convey somewhat complex information into readily digestible data and anecdotes for everyday humans. One of my weekly faves from Crooked media! Keep up the good work!

Very thoughtful and clear discussions of important public health matters. Learn something (often many things) every episode.

Love the continual intriguing content and subject matters you and your team continue to bring to each and every episode.

Your topic is so important; except my top two are not this. Hopefully this will change!!!

I’ve been looking for a good public health podcast that breaks down what are really complex, fuzzy issues and makes them easier to digest as a non-expert. This. Is. It! I love this podcast and am now listening to the full back catalogue.

Happy, happy birthday Dr. Kane. Fascinating podcast! Alison Schuback

Xahree via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/08/23
Your have great guests and the discussions are interesting. However, you spend too much time talking about yourself or your experiences. Some is helpful but especially in the episode with Dr. Jordan Metzl you used up too much time telling the listeners about your own sports experiences. I would...Read full review »

Excellent podcast. As a retired public health nurse, I appreciate how Doctor El-Sayed brings core public health principles to these most important podcast topics. Keep up great work. Science matters. We need your expertise and perspectives.👏🏾.

Great addition to Crooked Media and to the podcast wiring.

What are the social and medical issues facing our nation? This is where you hear about questions - and answers - that matter.
toast 51 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/06/23
I listen to this podcast every week. Abdul asks great questions and has great analysis. The guests are always interesting, even if I don’t have a background in the topic. Keep up the great work

I was told to drink less coffee to manage my perimenopause symptoms. The doctor completely ignored the fact that I didn’t start drinking coffee regularly (a few days a week) until well after my symptoms presented, which was well after my hysterectomy. I was told hormone replacement had “debatable...Read full review »

This was perfect timing for me! I’m going through some degraded quality of life due to perimenopause, and have a Dr appointment later this month. I feel informed and empowered to have a conversation with my doctor about treatment options. Thank you so much.

I listen to this podcast every week to keep informed about the public health landscape. I’m a local church pastor, so this may not seem like a professional necessity, but it is.

Love the medical aspect of the show. Dr El-Sayed covers a lot of excellent topics related to public health relating that to individuals and systems.
