I listened to this stunned. Whatever happened to this John Kosolcharen? I think it’s interesting that I cannot find anything on Wikipedia or YouTube on some of these people. Despicable.

I was keen to get into this series after binging the Three Dr Death series. I have mixed feelings about this one … I felt that the story they really wanted to tell didn’t turn out to be a clear cut hero and villains tail of good and evil , so the makers had to resort to the ethics and...Read full review »

Listening to podcasts about medical scams and the victims of misrepresentation is a vicarious enjoyment. The final two episodes of this series is worth listening for anyone who experiences or knows someone who experiences serious chronic illness. Lauren Beil does a superb job of challenging...Read full review »

This is entertaining but seems edited and reported in ways that are problematic. From the jump, it’s strange how little interest the reporter seems to take in Genetech, who are clearly culpable in what goes wrong. I don’t even think the founder of Genetech was mentioned by name until the final...Read full review »
He who shall remain nameless via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/05/23
Well produced. I'd like to hear more about the proven positive side of the treatments, as the narrative feels pretty intent on painting with a broad brush. Seeing as this came out before the pandemic, I'd love to think that the host will do an equally skeptical exposé on the more recent,...Read full review »

This morning I had nine duplicate wondery shows all push the newest wondery show into my feed. This has happened repeatedly for the last year plus and I’m Done with this company there are much better podcasters out there and less greedy companies. I encourage you to unfollow and communicate to...Read full review »

Sadly, you have been able to shoot down a very promising and result filled ( yes, I said result filled) industry. I have personal experience with this industry. And the doctor that says backs and knees and other issues, EVENTUALLY GET BETTER…. is grossly uneducated and likely has no clinical...Read full review »

Wondery has gotten greedy now requiring a subscription. I’ll go elsewhere for my podcasts and stories. Such a shame bc I enjoyed listening… use ads not subscriptions to fund your next podcast.

Love Lara Beal but not the depth of Dr Death.
ReddEye81 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/04/22
When this pod first came out about one scary doctor, I was excited to hear that more series were being added - but when I “subscribed again” and there is, is the trailer from 2019 ☹️🙁 Please bring it back 🙏🏼

I found this podcast by chance and I absolutely loved it. The story was really interesting and one I wasn’t familiar with. So it was great to really learn something and not just being entertained. All the tales were moving when the victims would talk about their experiences. This is definitely a...Read full review »

I believe in evidenced based health care. So keep that bias in mind when you read my review. This is an incredibly well done podcast. Very well researched. Some excellent interviews. It also highlighted some extremely important aspects of experimental medical treatments that are not backed by...Read full review »

This podcast was mind blowing. Great honest look at how greed and little to no accountability can ruin an industry!
Watsontate123 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/08/22
This is such a well done podcast. I donated stem cells when my daughter was born (1998). My uncle had just died from Parkinson’s, I hoped it would further the research- I sure hope they didn’t end up in the hands of these scammers. An interesting follow up would be the women who donated, and what...Read full review »

John K is a narcissist and rightly exposed.
debsndbrett via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 05/08/22
She is amazing!! She can talk to me about anything lol….. if I could give this a 6/5 I would! ❤️❤️
Spooky.2011 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 04/23/22
This documentary is beyond mind blowing. I am very glad someone is calling the bluff. It’s sad this information is slid under the rug.
Bmaccarter via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/20/22
And I know. Currently hoping my father survives the harm brought on by a stem-cell quack.
carlycarlyhall via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/29/22
It sums up everything that’s wrong with the US healthcare system. Doctors and clinics shouldn’t be a money making enterprise. Adverts for treatments? Scripts for doctors? 5K for an injection? This isn’t freedom this is money corrupting what should be an ethical choice - to dedicate your life to...Read full review »

I really enjoyed this. I’ve wondered about stem cells for a shoulder injury and it’s helped determine I wouldn’t go near it. This sounds like just another circumstance where money is made in the back of broken promises, greed, and placebo while the FDA does sweet fa about it.
etakm via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 03/21/22
It was a little maybe slow to start but I enjoyed it! I started first listening to dr. Death s1 and s2 and loved those. It’s not like dr. Death but it really makes you think over your health.
kayybebe23 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/21/22
Enjoyed every minute—riveting
jbieniek via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/10/22
Great reporting :)

A very informative and educational Podcast. Thank you for exposing all of the complexities. Much appreciated.
DanChelsae1010 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/06/22
Fascinating how greed gets the best of people.
Eatslpxfit via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/02/22
Terrific— a fascinating true story that may help people be more careful in avoiding unproven medical treatments. Shines a bright light on a modern snake oil huckster and how he and others like him operate.

3/5
Really enjoyed Dr.Death and was hoping for more like that. This was somewhat confusing to follow but did have some good information and shined some light on stem cells and how they’re made and used.
Kelly 052 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/17/21
The story is intriguing and the synopsis does it’s job of making you want to listen, but it seems like they stretched this out to make a quota for episodes. Did provide good insight into the stem cell industry
KaeGee7 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/01/21
As a person who struggles with chronic & almost debilitating pain EVERY SINGLE DAY in my back, hip, & ankle from a car accident THANK YOU for this podcast! It is not only interesting it is also so informational.
Walle777709743 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/18/21
Compelling podcast! Great narration too.
DotNZ via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/13/21
You get to the last episode or last 3 episodes and non of them are available!! The ironic title of this podcast Bad Batch—That’s a perfect name for Wondery!!!!
ihatethidapp via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/11/21
I should not have insulted snakes. This John fella’ is so sleazy , self-important, self aggrandizing, ... AND all his friends are rich and live in big houses. I’m impressed...!NOT! I am enjoying listening to this series. I feel for the reporter/researcher who had to spend time with John...Read full review »

This story was so interesting and brilliantly hosted by Laura. I had no idea about this stem cell saga. I can not believe this actually happened. I feel for the victims; those that believed in the “treatment” only to come out worse off, permanently maimed, and out of pocket by thousands.
FionaJane2017 via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 09/07/21
Thank you for exposing this. Hopefully others will listen and be safe. I found John to be a Greedy uncaring person except for his wallet. Would love to see him in jail.
Kimxyxyalxyzestrer via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/13/21
Other podcasts that are 3 Hours long have less commercials this is just ridiculous
jacdla via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/05/21
What a huge waste of time. Also very irresponsible to try to paint a human piece of trash (John K) as a protagonist.
Shell3595 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/05/21
Wondery, as always, deliver a critical story with Laura Biel presenting flawlessly.
naqi82 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/19/21
I love how Laura digs deep into this topic. She provides a thorough look at all the aspects of this topic through research, interviews and old-fashion sleuthing. I just listened to The Vaping Fix and loved that one too! Keep these podcasts coming!
Frustrated__Parent__ via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/14/21
I recently listened to this podcast, with trepidation since I just had stem cell therapy for DDD (taken from my own bone marrow). Here’s what floors me. People taking a company at its word without doing research, no prep for these procedures (I had to go through additional X-rays, exam, etc...Read full review »

Love Laura’s calm and collected speaking voice. Loved Dr Death and was happy to find more from her

Great podcast
asdjujf via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/08/21
Good podcast, interesting subject but to many ads for such short episodes, spoils the whole podcast
Nannamoo via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/07/21
Is there any way to block wondery pods from showing up? I’ve been baited into beginning waaaaay too many of these commercials with podcasts interjected. Every one is over dramatic, over produced and just plain awful. If wondery is involved, it’s not worth your time!
peaceloveandrockets via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/03/21
A LOT of ads…many many more than any other PC I have encountered, followed. In fact I found myself saying “jeez another commercial “ out loud in a crowd! To me that indicates a bothersome listen.
smackdabber via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/29/21
This is an excellent and thorough look at the shameless and reprehensible exploitation of patients’ desires for decreased suffering, perpetrated and motivated by the greed of certain physicians and entrepreneurs. As a physician myself, I find it unfathomable that doctors can be convinced to...Read full review »
MS747341 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/28/21
The promo says there are more episodes. I guess they want me to buy their app to finish the series? Feels like bait and switch.
