• Healthcare is a machine. It wasn't built for you - it was built to profit from you.
• Confusion and compliance are how they escape accountability- from the bedside clinician who shuts down your questions with "trust the science" to the captured agencies that rewrote the rules from the inside decades ago.
• Signal & Noise is a home for the uncomfortable conversations healthcare keeps avoiding: the policy failures, the money trails, the lies we believed & the questions we should've been asking all along.
• But it's not just about what's broken. It's about what's possible. The system we could actually build if we stopped protecting the one that's killing us.
• Monologues when I have something to say. Interviews with insiders, disruptors & people who've seen behind the curtain.
• Philosophy, policy, scandal & solutions.
• No sponsors. No script. No sacred cows.
• If you've ever felt like the healthcare system was gaslighting you - it was. This is the show that proves it & shows you the way out.
