Misleading and sensationalist at best

“While the topic is interesting and the show is well-produced (good audio quality), they seem like they are grasping at straws to create a story. Interviews from people who “knew” Dr. Brandt growing up are from people who didn’t really know him much at all, and don’t really give any information - like interviewing a random neighbor who barely knew him, and a nephew he met in person once maybe twice? Plus it seems like a very invasive type of journalism. Clearly he was a troubled man who for whatever reason had serious issues growing up that he kept private. It seems unethical to try to dig this stuff up and broadcast it to the world now.
It is also misleading to portray Dr. Brandt as some rogue doctor clandestinely experimenting on “guinea pigs” in his Miami clinic. The truth is that ALL drugs must go through rigorous clinical trials with human patients, and most respected doctors participate in clinical trials for drug approval. Patients are monitored thoroughly for safety, and they also can only participate after giving informed consent. The way the reporter framed it was clearly only for impact and made it sound like he was running some kind of Frankenstein clinic or something, which is cheap journalism and just plain not accurate. Disappointed overall with the reporting for this podcast.”

“Yeah, no, this is an absurd and unsettling approach to covering a man’s death. No self-reflection on her own involvement in an industry that leads to an epidemic of body image issues, even when set up with the prompt by Fey’s team. Self-absorbed nonsense.”

“The story is honestly so interesting but I can’t stand the narrator. She finds any excuse to talk about herself and her experiences in her career.”

“Don’t blame parody writers for a fatal decision. Depression is the villain here! Podcaster sells beauty products for people avoiding reality!”
