Get your free 5-step plan for hearing loss diagnosis and treatment: click here Hearing loss affects 1 in 5 people globally, increases the risk of developing dementia, and has no cure.  An astonishing half a billion people have hearing loss, which impacts their ability to communicate and connect with others. Hearing loss cases are increasing fast, especially among younger people.  For many, hearing aids and cochlear implants can be life-changing, but they can't help everyone. But there is hope: Scientists around the world have been working tirelessly to develop NEW treatments for hearing loss.  In this episode, Jonathan speaks to Dr. Marcelo Rivolta, a professor of sensory stem cell biology at Sheffield University.  He's on the cusp of a major breakthrough that could mean hearing loss becomes a thing of the past.  What you'll learn: Why hearing loss is becoming more common The shocking link between hearing loss and a 500% increased risk of dementia How modern headphones and loud concerts cause permanent, irreversible damage Why hearing loss can be more isolating than blindness The simple ways you can protect your hearing today How current technologies like hearing aids and cochlear implants work About the groundbreaking new science that could cure deafness using stem cells About Marcelo Rivolta Marcelo Rivolta is a Professor of Sensory Stem Cell Biology at the University of Sheffield. For over two decades, his research has focused on the use of human stem cells for the understanding and treatment of hearing loss. His lab was the first to demonstrate that it was possible to create both auditory hair cells and neurons from stem cells, and his pioneering work is now moving towards clinical trials in humans.

Bad Bunny—Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio—is once again at the epicenter of music and pop culture headlines as his name electrifies both the music world and social media feeds this week. The big news: Bad Bunny is officially set to headline the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show in Santa Clara, California, on February 8, 2026. Social platforms erupted after his announcement, with TikTok and Instagram instantly trending with clips from his new halftime promo, where he stands atop a football goal post, vibing to his own tracks. Press outlets explain that Bad Bunny has dedicated the upcoming performance not just to himself, but to his people, declaring, “This is for my people, my culture, and our history—let your abuela know, we will be the Halftime Show of the Super Bowl.”The choice of Bad Bunny, acclaimed for breaking language barriers and championing Latin and queer identity, sparked intense debate on platforms like X and YouTube. According to nss sports and The Shade Room, the artist's selection is seen by many as a cultural milestone for the Latin community, given that he'll likely perform in Spanish and infuse the show with Puerto Rican and broader Latino culture. However, conservative pundits and figures tied to the Trump campaign have publicly criticized the move, labeling Bad Bunny a political lightning rod due to his outspoken stances on immigration and social justice. MAGA-aligned voices like Corey Lewandowski and others described the NFL's decision as a “middle finger to MAGA,” emphasizing how contentious polarization remains around visible Latino public figures.Bad Bunny himself has recently chosen not to bring his current tour to the U.S., citing ongoing worries about harsh immigration enforcement under current federal policy. On TikTok, he explained that he and his team opted out of a stateside tour because of fears about potential ICE raids, directly referencing increased immigration actions targeting event venues. These issues intersect sharply with the news that ICE has just revealed plans for a substantial presence at the 2026 Super Bowl, which will heighten scrutiny and concern regarding how immigration policy plays out at high-profile cultural events.Musically, fans are still catching waves from his newly released album “Debí Tirar Más Fotos.” Dropped at the start of this year, the album blends reggaeton, electronic dance, and genres deeply rooted in Puerto Rican tradition. It's his most introspective record to date, exploring themes like nostalgia, community, and Puerto Rico's complex relationship with the U.S. Singles like “El Clúb” and “Pitorro de Coco” have generated millions of streams, with “DTMF” topping Billboard's Global 200 chart. Rolling Stone, Billboard, and Variety have all celebrated the project for its raw emotional power, cultural honesty, and inventive sound—a personal and political letter to the island and diaspora Bad Bunny loves.His massive San Juan residency wrapped up last month and drew half a million attendees, with the local economic impact estimated at $700 million. This summer's shows featured surprise appearances from global sports and music figures, reinforcing Bad Bunny's cross-cultural clout. His world tour is kicking off in Latin America, Europe, and Asia, with no current plans to revisit the U.S.—a move widely interpreted as both personal protection and pointed commentary.He's also racking up film and ad credits, including a comic cameo in Adam Sandler's “Happy Gilmore 2,” while his “Most Wanted Tour” ranked among the year's highest-grossing music events—over $210 million in receipts. For now, all eyes are turning toward the Super Bowl, where Bad Bunny's halftime show is already being called a defining moment for Latino music in American pop culture.Thank you for tuning in.

"From the Frontlines" is an ADL podcast which brings listeners to the frontline in the battle against antisemitism and hate through conversations with ADL staff who are living that battle every day. According to a recent ADL survey, a significant number of Jewish faculty members have considered leaving their positions. One in three has experienced antisemitic incidents on their own campuses. Seventy-three percent report that antisemitism has worsened since October 7th. And many are staying silent about their Jewish identity out of fear for their careers and safety. This is the stark reality revealed by this groundbreaking new Faculty Survey conducted jointly by ADL and the Academic Engagement Network (AEN) - the first comprehensive national study examining the experiences of Jewish faculty in American higher education. The guest for this show is Masha Zemtsov, ADL's Associate Director for Advocacy. Masha has been instrumental in developing ADL's response to campus antisemitism and worked closely with AEN on this groundbreaking research, speaking directly with faculty members who are experiencing these troubling incidents firsthand. To read the full survey results, visit: https://www.adl.org/resources/report/faculty-under-fire-antisemitism-and-anti-israel-bias-higher-education. This conversation was recorded in September 2025.

Welcome back, listeners, to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked. Today, we are uncovering the latest news and updates on Ozempic, from its medical applications to its influence on our daily lives and overall health.There is an exciting development in the world of weight loss medication: a pill form of Ozempic, known by its generic name semaglutide. According to The New England Journal of Medicine, those who took the daily semaglutide pill lost nearly fourteen percent of their body weight over sixty-four weeks, compared to just two percent for those who took a placebo. This makes oral semaglutide a potential game changer for those who prefer pills over injections, especially since the pill shows a safety profile similar to the injectable form. Dr. Sean Wharton, who led the recent clinical trial, explained that this oral option could greatly expand the number of people willing to try GLP-1 treatments for obesity.Following closely behind is orforglipron, a new GLP-1 pill developed by Eli Lilly. Fox News reports that in a recent clinical trial, participants taking the highest dose of orforglipron lost an average of more than twenty-seven pounds after a year and a half. Nearly sixty percent of those participants lost ten percent of their body weight, while just under forty percent lost at least fifteen percent. What is even more hopeful, according to the study published in The New England Journal of Medicine, is that those with pre-diabetes saw a sharp improvement in blood sugar levels, suggesting broad metabolic benefits. While the results are compelling, experts note that injectables like Ozempic still deliver slightly more dramatic results, yet many patients may prefer the convenience and ease of a pill.On a different front, research from The Cleveland Clinic has revealed that genetics may influence just how well Ozempic or similar drugs work for you. According to their study, a gene known as Neurobeachin appears to help determine how much weight a person might lose with GLP-1 medications. People with a responsive version of the gene were eighty-two percent more likely to have significant weight loss, while those with a non-responsive score were actually less likely to lose weight. Dr. Daniel Rotroff from the Cleveland Clinic suggests that in the near future, doctors could combine genetic testing with lifestyle and personal factors to tailor obesity treatment, making these therapies even more effective and personalized.Let us not forget the reason why Ozempic was developed in the first place. Originally designed and approved to help manage type two diabetes, Ozempic as well as its higher-dose sibling Wegovy, are now also used for chronic weight management. Both are part of a class called glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, or GLP-1s. These medications work by stimulating insulin production and helping the body manage appetite and digestion, leading to weight loss as a beneficial side effect. According to information from the Lawsuit Information Center, Ozempic is still mainly prescribed as a once-weekly injection, but with oral versions nearing approval, that could soon change.New treatments often come with questions about safety. According to the United States Food and Drug Administration, there has been increased concern about unapproved compounded versions of these GLP-1 drugs, which have been linked to hundreds of adverse event reports. This highlights the importance of using only medications that are properly prescribed and approved, as safety must always come first.Finally, there are ongoing investigations into rare but serious side effects, such as a risk of vision loss, and digestive issues like gastroparesis linked to GLP-1 drugs including Ozempic. For most people, side effects tend to be mild and include nausea and digestive discomfort, but it is crucial to talk to your doctor to understand the potential risks and benefits as this new generation of weight loss options emerges.That wraps up our update on Ozempic and the evolving world of GLP-1 weight loss therapies.

Before the Pink Ribbon, talking about breast cancer was taboo. In this episode, we uncover the shocking and inspiring history of breast cancer awareness and the three women who defied a dismissive medical establishment to save millions of lives. Author Judith L. Pearson joins us to discuss her groundbreaking book, "Radical Sisters," revealing how Shirley Temple Black, Rose Kushner, and Evelyn Lauder launched a revolution from their hospital beds and boardrooms. How did a child star, a determined journalist, and a cosmetics mogul tear down the wall of silence and change medicine forever?This deep dive into the evolution of breast cancer advocacy explores the dark ages of treatment and the courageous fight for patient rights. Judith L. Pearson details the brutal radical mastectomy history, specifically the disfiguring Halstead radical mastectomy, a procedure that persisted long after it was proven ineffective. We revisit the pivotal moment of Shirley Temple Black breast cancer advocacy when the beloved star held an unprecedented 1972 press conference from her hospital room, urging women not to be afraid and to perform self-exams. The episode then follows the tenacious activist Rose Kushner and the one-step procedure, a barbaric practice where women went in for a biopsy and woke up with their breasts removed without their consent. Kushner's relentless research and in-your-face advocacy, including a daring appearance on the Donahue show, forced the medical community to confront its paternalism. Finally, we explore the origins of the Evelyn Lauder Pink Ribbon Campaign and her "department store" concept for cancer care at Memorial Sloan Kettering, which was born from the frustrating and fragmented patient experience. This interview sheds light on the complete history of breast cancer awareness, from comparing the fight for funding to the AIDS movement to the discovery of the BRCA gene mutation, revealing a story of courage, tragedy, and ultimate triumph.About Our Guest:Judith L. Pearson is an author and historical biographer specializing in uncovering the stories of overlooked heroes. In her book, "Radical Sisters: The Women Who Pushed for and Paved the Way to Breast Cancer Awareness," she reveals the untold story of the three women whose personal battles and public advocacy transformed medicine and created the modern breast cancer movement.Timestamps / Chapters:(00:00) The Three Women Who Transformed Breast Cancer Awareness(03:31) Shirley Temple Black's Groundbreaking 1972 Announcement(06:05) Rose Kushner's Daring Appearance on the Donahue Show(09:07) The Near-Death Experiences That Shaped the "Radical Sisters"(14:38) How Shirley Temple's Press Conference Changed Everything(19:22) The Brutal History of the Halstead Radical Mastectomy(24:19) Rose Kushner's Fight Against the "One-Step Procedure"(29:56) Evelyn Lauder's Philanthropic Vision Before and After Her Diagnosis(32:28) Learning from the AIDS Movement to Fight for Funding(36:04) Evelyn Lauder's "Department Store" Concept for Cancer Care(40:10) The True Origin Story of the Pink Ribbon Campaign

After two decades of work, supporters of an international agreement are celebrating ratification of a tool aimed at reversing ongoing threats to oceans around the globe. Sixty nations have signed onto the High Seas Treaty. It's a legally-binding document that maps a direction for marine biodiversity in international waters. It addresses threats such as pollution, overfishing, and damage caused by climate change. The goals align with those of many Indigenous populations, many of whom are bearing the brunt of diminished ocean diversity. At the same time, there are concerns about the ability to enforce the agreement against nations that choose to ignore it.

When someone's LDL cholesterol hits 574 mg/dL, doctors typically expect the worst. But what if everything we think we know about cholesterol and heart disease risk is incomplete?In this episode, I sit down with researchers Nick Norwitz, Adrian Soto-Mota, and Dave Feldman to discuss their groundbreaking study on lean mass hyperresponders - a rare population who develop extremely high LDL cholesterol on ketogenic diets despite being lean, fit, and metabolically healthy. Their recent paper "Plaque Begets Plaque, ApoB Does Not" challenges conventional wisdom by showing that in this unique population, neither LDL cholesterol nor ApoB levels predicted plaque progression over one year of follow-up. Instead, existing plaque was the strongest predictor of future plaque growth. We explore the proposed lipid energy model that may explain why some people's cholesterol skyrockets on keto, discuss the limitations and implications of their findings, and examine what this means for personalized cardiovascular risk assessment. This conversation touches on fundamental questions about causality in medicine, the importance of studying outlier populations, and why a one-size-fits-all approach to cholesterol management may be missing crucial nuances.

1. The Experience Machine: How Our Minds Predict and Shape Reality by Andy Clark, presents a groundbreaking theory that our minds are fundamentally "prediction machines" that actively forecast and shape reality, rather than merely passively receiving sensory information. Perception, Clark explains, is a dynamic interplay between the brain's internal expectations and incoming sensory input. This process is so powerful that strong predictions can even lead to "hallucinations," as demonstrated by the "White Christmas" experiment where participants confidently "heard" Bing Crosby's song in pure white noise when they expected it. Clark emphasizes a key physiological insight: information flowing from the brain "downward" towards the senses far outnumbers the sensory information flowing "inward" (a ratio of approximately 4:1). This suggests the brain primarily predicts what it expects to encounter at the sense organs, then adjusts its models based on any "prediction errors" that arise from actual sensory input. This active inference model means that our mind is constantly seeking to minimize these errors, not just by internal adjustments but also by taking actions in the world (e.g., moving for a better view, checking a dog's reaction) to confirm or correct its predictions. Our perceptions are thus deeply rooted in past experiences and project into the future, anticipating the outcomes of our actions. A significant implication of this predictive framework is the concept of the "extended mind," where our cognitive processes are not confined to the skull but extend to incorporate tools (like an iPhone) and even other beings (such as a pet dog like Sailor). The example of MIGO the orangutan using a stick to probe water depth illustrates how animals take actions to reduce uncertainty and error in achieving their goals, similar to how humans use the internet to find movie times. Clark applies this "prediction machine" model to understand various conditions: • Autism Spectrum Condition is characterized by an "overweighting" of sensory information relative to predictions, making it harder to discern faint patterns (like facial gestures) and causing noisy environments to be uncomfortable. • PTSD appears to involve a "very, very strong response to unexpected negative information," where certain brains are more susceptible to this intense reaction following traumatic events. • Depression, a complex condition, is linked to impaired bodily predictions (e.g., misjudging future energy needs) and a diminished "value of positive information," hindering one's ability to improve mood through positive expectations. The book also explores the integration of mind and body, asserting that internal bodily predictions (e.g., heart rate, energy levels) profoundly influence our external perceptions, a phenomenon shown by experiments where false cardiac feedback alters facial perception. Clark extends the notion of sentience beyond humans, arguing that it is widely shared among animals, including dogs, as they also bring predictions to bear on their experiences and learn from their histories. Emotions, rather than being separate brain circuits, are seen as "reflections of the bodily element of the prediction machine in action," acting as "markers" of how successfully the brain is minimizing prediction error. Ultimately, The Experience Machine suggests that by understanding the mind's active, predictive nature, we can better appreciate consciousness, address cognitive challenges, and harness the power of expectation (as seen in the placebo effect) to influence well-being, albeit with clear limits on curing major diseases.

Our perceptions are thus deeply rooted in past experiences and project into the future, anticipating the outcomes of our actions. A significant implication of this predictive framework is the concept of the "extended mind," where our cognitive processes are not confined to the skull but extend to incorporate tools (like an iPhone) and even other beings (such as a pet dog like Sailor). The example of MIGO the orangutan using a stick to probe water depth illustrates how animals take actions to reduce uncertainty and error in achieving their goals, similar to how humans use the internet to find movie times. Clark applies this "prediction machine" model to understand various conditions: • Autism Spectrum Condition is characterized by an "overweighting" of sensory information relative to predictions, making it harder to discern faint patterns (like facial gestures) and causing noisy environments to be uncomfortable. • PTSD appears to involve a "very, very strong response to unexpected negative information," where certain brains are more susceptible to this intense reaction following traumatic events. • Depression, a complex condition, is linked to impaired bodily predictions (e.g., misjudging future energy needs) and a diminished "value of positive information," hindering one's ability to improve mood through positive expectations. The book also explores the integration of mind and body, asserting that internal bodily predictions (e.g., heart rate, energy levels) profoundly influence our external perceptions, a phenomenon shown by experiments where false cardiac feedback alters facial perception. Clark extends the notion of sentience beyond humans, arguing that it is widely shared among animals, including dogs, as they also bring predictions to bear on their experiences and learn from their histories. Emotions, rather than being separate brain circuits, are seen as "reflections of the bodily element of the prediction machine in action," acting as "markers" of how successfully the brain is minimizing prediction error. Ultimately, The Experience Machine suggests that by understanding the mind's active, predictive nature, we can better appreciate consciousness, address cognitive challenges, and harness the power of expectation (as seen in the placebo effect) to influence well-being, albeit with clear limits on curing major diseases.
