“I’m really disappointed in the acupuncture episode. The podcasters make several errors in their description of TCM. There is a ton of solid evidence that supports the efficacy and safety of acupuncture - how did they miss all of it? Insurance takes absolutely forever to verify that something is legit before they cover it, and most major insurance companies cover acupuncture. Why are these podcasters not even as up to date as our insurance companies? And why not invite a licensed acupuncturist onto the show to explain TCM instead of butchering it themselves? I don’t know why they kept repeating the part about seeing a licensed acupuncturist. Like, obviously?! No one is going to see an unlicensed primary care physician, so why would anyone see an unlicensed acupuncturist? It sounds like they automatically don’t trust anyone who practices acupuncture, which sounds like….hm, a bias? A racial or cultural bias? Don’t be freaked out people. To become a licensed acupuncturist, you have to have at least a master’s in TCM, though many have a Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (DAOM) degree. These programs are extensive - often the master’s degree takes 5 years, and they involve many clinical hours. There is an acupuncture board that oversees everything. There is a code of ethics. You can loose your license if you screw up or do something unethical. These people clearly have no respect for the traditional medical system of China. This is sadly an example of elitist views that put western medicine above everything else. Not everything is about pharmaceuticals, but that is all that this podcast cares about.”

Studies and history are broken down in such a fun way- the episodes are over before you know. They say you only truly understand something if you can...”Read full review »

“I’ve painstakingly been explaining science to many of my friends skeptical of the coronavirus vaccine. Now I just direct them to this podcast! If I could print millions of flyers of your infographics and fly over the world throwing them out of the airplane, I would. Part of my job as a scientist...”Read full review »
