Podcasts about middleman

Are billion-dollar secrets hiding in plain sight every time you pick up a prescription? While most of us trust the price tags and availability of life-saving medications, who's really pulling the strings—and why aren't these stories front-page news? In an era when legal battles against corporate giants can change lives and headlines, we need transparency and we need it now. This week on Cut to the Chase: Podcast, we're diving deep into the explosive world of pharmaceutical litigation with Mike Papantonio, legendary trial attorney, legal commentator, and acclaimed author. Mike's latest novel “The Middleman” pulls back the curtain on the mysterious—and disturbingly powerful—pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) who are quietly shaping the cost and availability of vital medicines. The PBM industry is a $300 billion behemoth—raising medication costs across the board by up to 50%. Most Americans, including seasoned professionals, have no idea these gatekeepers exist. Tune in to hear how real courtroom drama translates into gripping fiction, what's really driving up drug prices, and what lawyers must know to make a transformative impact—financially and socially—through mass tort litigation. What you'll learn in this episode: The shocking influence and unchecked power of pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs)—and how they're raising drug prices, taking kickbacks, and operating as a modern-day mob Insider details from landmark cases (tobacco, opioids, human trafficking, Wall Street scams) and how those stories shape Mike's writing The criminal-like conduct behind life-saving drug pricing, vertical integration, and extortion in the pharma industry How whistleblowers drive 40% of mass tort cases—why they matter and how law firms can support them Tips for trial lawyers and young attorneys on building a meaningful, profitable practice—the legacy case approach A sneak peek at Mike's upcoming book, “Death in Arcadia,” exposing corruption and abuse in America's reform schools Key Takeaways: Look Beyond the Headlines: Mainstream media often misses (or avoids) big stories; legal professionals must dig deeper and use insider knowledge to expose injustice. Leverage Whistleblower Potential: Proactively support and educate potential whistleblowers—40% of mass torts begin with insider revelations. Consider Legacy Cases: Don't just chase profits—choose cases that have lasting impact and can become the cornerstone of your reputation. Educate Through Storytelling: Use creative outlets—novels, blogs, podcasts—to inform and inspire both the public and fellow attorneys. Adapt to Changing Legal Landscapes: Stay alert to new threats—PBMs, antitrust schemes, white-collar criminality—that need legal champions willing to take action.   Stay tuned for more updates, and don't miss our next deep dive on Cut to The Chase: Podcast with Gregg Goldfarb!   Subscribe, rate, review, and share this episode of the Cut to the Chase: Podcast!   Resources: Buy “The Middleman: A Legal Thriller” by Mike Papantonio: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1648211054 Connect with Mike Papantonio on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikepapantonio  Visit his website - Ring of Fire: https://trofire.com Subscribe to his YouTube channel - America's Lawyer: https://www.youtube.com/@TheRingofFire  Follow Mike on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rofpap Learn more about Mike's legal career: https://levinlaw.com/our_team/mike-papantonio    This episode was produced and brought to you by Reignite Media.

Attorney-turned-writer Mike Papantonio talks about his latest book .... a novel titled "The Middleman" ..... which sheds light on the so-called 'middlemen' in the pharmaceutical industry who help to drive up costs for consumers.

Singing in a tiled bathroom, a sacred object, and connecting with some kind of source. Rosali Middleman (Rosali, Long Hots, Monocot, EDSEL AXLE) "North Carolina–based songwriter Rosali makes songs that take their time in revealing their full power. What might appear to be restrained, introspective compositions will stretch slowly outward, snagging your attention with a sideways guitar lead or an exceptionally raw lyric you didn't catch the first time around. Her softly glowing music is deceptively fluid, able to appear patient and refined at the edge of unraveling."

Sean McAuliffe didn't invent anything. He was a distributor.  If you lost your car keys and went to a locksmith to cut a new set, chances are your locksmith got the replacement key from Sean's business. He bought cheap keys from Asia and sold them to locksmiths. Nothing fancy. Like so many businesses, Sean was a middleman. He'd never really thought about selling—didn't think anyone would want to buy it—but when a private equity group offered him millions, Sean realized he was sitting on a potential goldmine. 

The is only One mediator between God and mankind and that is the Man Christ Jesus. Yet, if we are not careful we can exalt the things or people created by God above God himself. He has never asked for religion, rituals, trinkets, superstitions, other humans or any other image to be needed to appease Him or to find Him. We are His offspring and He is all we need!

President Trump is telling the media he is the most successful president in history. Traffic at the southern border is down, but some costs remain high. Doge seems to be backfiring and lawsuits are flying over some of his executive orders. Plus, there is a lot of anxiety when it comes to the markets. Is doing a lot more important than doing a lot the right way? We have a poll up this morning asking whether you think Trump has been a successful president so far, based on whether he has done what he has set out to do well or whether he has not done it well. We welcome former ABC White House correspondent Jim Avila to talk about the situation at the border and And Weather deporting criminals is worth the risk of deporting people who have done nothing wrong, and the even bigger risk of disregarding our Constitution.Mark recently sat down with Mike Papantonio. He is an attorney, Podcaster and the author of a new thriller called Middle Man. Pulitzer Prize winning author and investigative journalist David Cay Johnston stops by.

In this episode of The Infinite Spark of Being podcast, Keith explores the powerful concept of Decentralized Spirituality—the idea that you don't need a middleman to find God. Drawing from the teachings of Jesus, the Buddha, the Vedas, mystical Judaism, Sufism, and his own personal experience, Keith breaks down how every spiritual path ultimately points to one truth: The Divine is within you. No priest, pastor, guru, or religious institution can grant you access to something you already are.This episode is a candid, folksy, and sometimes irreverent reminder that you are the spark, the temple, and the access point to the Infinite. Keith shares personal stories, humor, and deep philosophical insights about how religion, culture, and institutions have distanced us from this truth—and how we can reclaim it.If you're ready to step outside the hierarchy and remember who you truly are, this episode is for you.✨ Join us every Sunday night at 8 PM EST for a free online meditation session.✨ Want to go deeper?

Elliott Payne reflects on his first two years as President of the Minneapolis City Council. We talk about the stakes of this year's city election; the recent surge of corporate money and PACs trying to influence the results; an assessment of the city's public safety situation; and why he both loves and hates being the man in the middle of all those complicated personal relationships on the council. Payne tells me work on a rent stabilization policy is still happening; I ask if we really want to put ourselves through the St Paul experience. And we talk about the strange absence of Mayor Frey from the public conversation about setbacks in his own administration -- like mismanagement of the Neighborhood Safety Department. I ask him to endorse a mayoral candidate, and he dodges my question by saying he likes three of them not named Frey.Watch: https://youtube.com/wedgeliveJoin the conversation: https://bsky.app/profile/wedge.liveSupport the show: https://patreon.com/wedgeliveWedge LIVE theme song by Anthony Kasper x LaFontsee

Debbie Monterrey chats with Mike Papantonio about pharmacy benefit managers. He was a lead attorney in a national opioid lawsuit. He has a new book, "The Middleman" on shelves now.

I don't usually interview novelists on this show, but Mike Papantonio is so much more. He is a leading trial lawyer who's won numerous multi-million dollar verdicts on behalf of victims of corporate malfeasance. He hosted the radio show "Ring of Fire" on Air America Radio, and has written a bunch of books - both fiction and non-fiction- dealing with the law.His new book, THE MIDDLEMAN, centers on the shady practices of Big Pharma, a subject we should all be concerned about.One of Pap's co-hosts on "Ring of Fire" for many years was Bobby Kennedy Jr. When I invited him on the show to talk about his new book, I also said I'd have to ask about Trump's Secretary of Health and Human Services, a man for who I previously had a lot of respect. He said no subject was off limits.

The Middleman is an epic drama of whistleblowers, murder, thrills, and legal combat—torn out of today's headlines.Nicholas “Deke” Deketomis and his law firm take on America's Big Pharma when Deke's college pal, Matt Redmond, presents him with a case of possible fraud involving EirePharma, the Redmond family business and a powerful Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM). PBMs serve as the “middlemen” between drug manufacturers and insurance companies, working in cryptic ways to determine not only the cost of drugs but also placing them on insurers' preferred formularies. EirePharma was recently taken over by the charismatic CEO, Connor Devlin, who has a Rasputin-like influence over Matt's cousin, Amy, the company's current president. Devlin may be utilizing racketeering practices—and perhaps murder—to raise the prices of insulin and other drugs for his own profit and to the detriment of consumers.Amy, who at first was in love with Devlin, decides—at great peril—to become her company's whistleblower and provide evidence to Deke and his team. When key witnesses and even Redmond family members meet mysterious and violent deaths, Amy finds herself a pawn caught in the center of a frightening and deadly game of wills between a formidable gangster, who in the eyes of the public is a respected businessman, and a law firm that is determined to investigate and uncover the Middleman's crimes.In the tradition of Suspicious Activity and Inhuman Trafficking, Mike Papantonio takes Deke and his cohorts on a new and different kind of legal gamble in The Middleman, which is chock full of the action and thrills for which he is known.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.

This episode, though subdued, is a fascinating journey into the critical minds of the spoilers as they try to figure out what it is about Mukherjee's stories that has a hold on them. It's probably fair to say that we didn't LOVE this collection, but there were stories here than really get in our minds. A book of its time that resists neat categorization, THE MIDDLEMAN is one of those books that sparked a passionate conversation that we may not have been expecting. Take a listen!

Policies like step therapy and prior authorization are forcing individuals into treatments not recommended by their doctors—often with devastating consequences. In this episode, we hear from a patient who endured months of suffering due to her insurer's 'fail-first' requirements. We also talk with a doctor navigating this impossible system and a biotech leader fighting to ensure innovative treatments reach the patients who need them most. Follow us on LinkedIn, X, Facebook and Instagram. Visit us at https://www.bio.org/

I hear it all the time with clients and friends: One parent is the liaison between the kids and their spouse. They soften the blow of bad news, buffer the emotions of struggle, keep their teens secrets from the other parent because they both fear that parent's reaction, and generally act as a go-between to help manage their partner's emotions.    This can feel necessary to keep the peace. This can feel like an act of betrayal. This can feel like a last ditch effort to support everyone as best you can, being the glue that holds. And usually it's a little of all of it with some resentment sprinkled on top because you don't want this role but have no idea how to shift it.  In today's episode I'll teach you: Why we do this How and when to stop this behavior What it is really creating To book a free Peaceful Parenting Strategy call with me, click HERE and book the best spent 30 minutes you can take as a parent.  

Mel Kanar was the supplier. He knew the bands, the songs, the CEO and the DJ's. What music fans don't know is how large of a roll he played on charting early rock and roll on radio throughout suburban Detroit and beyond. The sounds you heard, you favored, you loved, smash or trashed, Mel was the delivery man and the polisher for the companies that needed their palms greased in order to get the next big song on the radio.    You've heard it all about payola, the rags to riches, the gravity of the unknown coming to light.

Folks who expected their health insurance to cover some out-of-network care have been getting stuck with enormous bills instead. Like one couple from Kansas City: Their insurance hung them out to dry for thousands of dollars, all while sending statements touting a “discount” the couple was supposedly getting. Turned out: A middleman was cutting their coverage — actually a middleman's middleman — working with their insurance company. The couple's insurer got the “discount,” and the middlemen got big fees. And of course this couple wasn't alone. A recent New York Times investigation from reporter Chris Hamby documented and explained this Russian-nesting-dolls-of-middlemen scheme. Insurance companies (middleman #1) work with a with a company called MultiPlan (middleman #2), which slashes the amounts the insurance plans actually pay for care.To show how it all works — and what we can maybe do about it — we dive into the hidden mechanics of health insurance.
