“I wrote my masters thesis on Lyme disease and actually did research with one of the interviewees in the final episode and even I learned a lot from this show! Seriously a must-listen for anyone living in the Northeast.”

“Thoughtful, nuanced, compassionate and funny. Plus, there’s an amazing extra flavour added by listening to a program on the social dimensions of a new disease with long term consequences, released in late 2019. The last sentences of the final episode go hard.”

“This podcast produced by New Hampshire Public Radio is a deep dive look at Lyme disease; its history, origins, but also the precariousness that comes with the diagnosis. Lyme disease is a tick-borne illness that causes symptoms such as fever, headache, fatigue, skin rash, and when left untreated...”Read full review »

“Dr Wine isn’t a quack. To not even give both sides to this “objective” podcast is so disappointing from a public radio. I’m not a conspiracy theorist or a Q Trumper or anything. But to disregard alternative therapies that I know first hand, actually do have positive effects on Lyme, is...”Read full review »

“This podcast is terrific. It is very informative and gives you an over the shoulder look of the disease from a patient’s point of view, as well as the misery and struggles for proper diagnosis that this mysterious disease entails. Very informative and well produced. Highly recommend.”

“This story is well-researched and very well-told. However, the editing is pretty bad. Half of sentences are cut off or started halfway through, and the volume varies. Hopefully these are just new podcast kinks they will work out.”

“I’m only on the first episode but already they left the address of where the interviewee lives in the podcast and did not bleep it out. I realize the aesthetic is kinda cool but freely telling people where someone lives is not. Will have to see if the podcast improves as I go.”
