Genuine learning experience into how medical research was exponentially spurred on by the draft for the Vietnam war. A number of medical physicians are interviewed as well. Alan Alda does a good job of hosting it. My only gripe is the repetition at the beginning of each new episode as to what’s gone before. I listened to all episodes in one go and did not need the repeats but perhaps those who break their listening might. Overall an impressive and awareness raising podcast.
