“You did a whole episode about maternal mortality without mentioning once the gender of the victims or acknowledging the fact that this issue affects women and mothers.
The format is good… the vocal fry is a lot.”

“I unfollowed after a completely uncritical interview with someone who “couldn’t say why insulin in the US market is so expensive” we all know why it is so expensive, price fixing in the American market. And the fact that you would interview someone who won’t even utter those words. And the fact...”Read full review »

“I’m an internal medicine resident, and I try to keep up on health policy. PulseCheck has been a great, succinct way to keep up on health policy while working a busy schedule as a medicine resident!”

“As a user of hydroxychloraquine it can and has helped for many. We should use all avenues to get through this epidemic instead of only using very expensive drugs. It is too bad you follow the party line.”

“Dan is a perfect host. He has interesting guests for reasonably deep dives. He probes further when appropriate. Overall he leaves guests more (or newly) informed about critical issues in health policy.”

“My go-to podcast for the latest and greatest health policy news. Fair and equal portrayal of the issues and Dan Diamond miraculously avoids business jargon despite being an ex-consultant. Pairs well with a New England IPA and the daily Politico Pulse newsletter.”

“Dan Diamond's interview with Dan Barber would have been better if he at least questioned some of the claims that Barber was making. Without any pushback, it makes it sound like an infomercial for organics, which are not as "wholesome" as the industry would distract you into believing....”Read full review »
