“The science is a Trojan horse for so much late Gen X/Millennial navel-gazing driven by a disability-as-identity subjectivity. Worse still, McArthur uses his own son — a vulnerable, young, child with very real health concerns — as a “motivation” to make a podcast. (That alone makes this project...”Read full review »

“I was especially interested as I am participating in a clinical trial of Rapamycin, and my epigenetic age test has me 12 years older than my biological age - not great news for anyone! I thought the explanations in the fourth episode about Mtor, telemeres, etc., were so well done - I really...”Read full review »

“Stephen Hawking once said that due to greed and stupidity, humankind will last another 100 maybe 200 years. He died four years ago. The clock is ticking. Humankind has been around for approximately 330,000 years. In 1812 the world population was 1 billion. In 1912 it was 1.5 billion. Given that...”Read full review »

“I really loved this podcast!!! Along with Bryson’s Brain 🧠 It was thought provoking, insightful, inspirational and I really enjoyed the way it was produced. I wanted to learn more! I really hope we get a sequel of both!!”

“Can’t speak for season 1 but season 2 covers an unenviable amount of ground through interviews that are consistently top notch. Keith’s voice-over style between interviews may get on some people’s nerves though as he indulges in many, MANY tiny thoughtful hesitations.”

Despite other reviews, I do NOT feel he breezed over the ethical dilemmas surrounding this topic. It was thorough,...”Read full review »

Totally eye opening and thought provoking. Best podcast I’ve listened to in years! Like nothing I’ve heard...”Read full review »

“While quite interesting in terms of scientific information, this series drips with white privilege.
The same episode that touches on ethics and the loaded meaning of a cure, ends in the formation of a foundation FOR finding a cure...
Hopefully the future of this podcast can feel more...”Read full review »

“I heard an excerpt on The Current and then had to download and binge the whole podcast. What an incredible family and I’m learning so much! I hadn’t considered all the ethical complexities around a cure before, but I still do hope a cure for GRIN is right around the corner!”

“Yet again, a story of a family centring themselves in the story of Bryson’s life and experience. Reflecting on whether your actions are ableist but not actually doing anything to change your behaviour. Searching for a cure, infantilizing, fixation on “independence”, attaining a NT mind, devaluing...”Read full review »

“High production value and well done, but as a person with a lifelong physical disability, there’s something about this family’s obsession with getting a “cure” makes me very uneasy and uncomfortable. I’m sorry, but this guy is not a disability advocate. He’s an ableist who is obsessed with...”Read full review »

“I thought this would be uplifting tale of human triumph... but episode 1 was NOT uplifting.
A cold slap in the face about the reality of raising a disabled child.
