Dr. Kyunghyun Cho is a leading AI researcher best known for co-authoring a landmark 2014 paper that introduced neural machine translation. In this episode, he discusses his wide-ranging career spanning fundamental AI research, co-founding Prescient Design (acquired by Genentech), and driving applications of AI in health care. For clinicians, Cho's core message is pragmatic: AI should help health care run better. After years of work at NYU Langone, he reframed AI in medicine from solving rare diagnostic puzzles to improving operational prediction at scale. Cho emphasizes purpose‑built data, careful fine‑tuning, and regulatory accountability. His perspective connects technical rigor with system stewardship—and insists that patient voices must be present in AI governance. Transcript.

In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan reacts to President Trump's eyebrow-raising comments about classified information and aliens, then pivots to a far more earthly threat as new reporting reveals U.S. taxpayer dollars helped fund research collaborations with Chinese military-linked institutions. Bryan also breaks down fresh evidence that China secretly conducted a nuclear test, why Greenland's missile defense position is critical to America's survival, and why Trump has issued a 10-day warning to Iran as U.S. carrier groups surge into the Middle East. He explains the stakes surrounding Diego Garcia, rising tensions with Mauritius, and the seizure of another sanctioned oil tanker in the Indian Ocean. The episode turns to political shockwaves in the United Kingdom and Washington following new Jeffrey Epstein revelations, including the arrest of Prince Andrew and congressional demands for CIA transparency. Bryan then covers the rapid collapse of so-called transgender medicine programs across major U.S. hospitals and closes with new Harvard research showing that spiritual practice significantly reduces substance abuse risk.

Programs advocate for long-term-care residents When Janice Munson walks through the entrance of a local nursing home, she has a list of names of the aged and disabled residents who have called for help. After those visits, she'll check in with other residents, sometimes asking if they have a physical therapy plan and if they are being taken for supervised walks to maintain their mobility. The answer is often no. "They'll say, 'I know there aren't enough staff, so I don't want to ask.' " Ensuring that residents obtain services is one of Munson's primary roles as a long-term care ombudsman, a position created by the Older Americans Act of 1965. The legislation requires states to provide independent advocates for residents in nursing homes, adult care homes and assisted living and rehabilitation facilities. Munson is among the eight volunteers who, along with five paid staff members, monitor 120 facilities in Region 4, which covers Putnam, Westchester and Rockland counties. Based in Cold Spring and led by Philipstown resident Judy Farrell, the region is one of 15 in the state. Region 5, based in Fishkill, covers Dutchess and five other counties. Nursing homes are the priority; the state wants them visited weekly and other facilities at least quarterly, said Farrell, who is also a member of the Philipstown Town Board. Although physical abuse draws headlines, complaints range from a staff member giving a resident the wrong medication or failing to follow therapy plans to dirty rooms, substandard food and a lack of recreation. Along with residents, the friends of residents and facility staff can report concerns, said Farrell. During the pandemic, when quarantines prevented families from visiting long-term care facilities, Farrell arranged for "compassionate care" visits. In one case, she helped a man unable to get his dying mother discharged to home hospice care. When she arrived home, he called Farrell, crying and grateful. "You can't replace that feeling," she said. "It's greatly satisfying." Arnold Tanner knows the feeling. A volunteer in Region 4, he visits a facility near his home in Sleepy Hollow twice a week. Carrying an iPad filled with notes, he meets first with people in the long-term-care units before introducing himself to newcomers and checking in at the rehab unit. He sometimes gets "a little better feel for the place" from newcomers and rehab patients, who are less reluctant to speak up, he said. Those in long-term care may fear retribution by staff, which is also a source of complaints. Statewide, the ombudsman program received 18,346 complaints during fiscal 2024, including 1,680 to the Cold Spring office. About a third were care-related, a broad category that includes accidents, falls, general requests for assistance and concerns about medications and physical therapy. Another 15 percent were complaints about staff failing to "honor and promote a resident's right or preferences" about healthcare, privacy, visitors and other areas. Many complaints related to food and admissions, including discharges and evictions. "Sometimes people face discharge for nonpayment when they might be eligible for Medicaid," Farrell explained. Complaints occasionally lead to legal action. In 2024, the state attorney general announced a $45 million settlement with Centers for Care, which owns four facilities, including one in White Plains, for "years of tragic and devastating mistreatment and neglect." According to the attorney general, "call bells regularly went unanswered, residents were forced to sit in their own urine and feces for hours, meals were not provided in a timely manner and personal belongings, including hearing aids, dentures and clothing, were often lost or stolen." After making On the Shoulders of Giants, a film about the orthopedics department at NYU Langone that was a Tribeca Film Festival Special Jury Award finalist in 2024, Cold Spring resident Peter Sanders turned to ombudsman programs. In March 2025, he began ...
Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Are We Going to Strike Iran? In‑depth foreign policy analysis featuring Steve Yates, senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation and former White House national security official, who breaks down the intensifying risk of U.S. military strikes against Iran. Yates outlines how the administration is negotiating over Iran’s nuclear program even as it positions F‑35s, F‑22s, and other assets for what he describes as a “high likelihood” of targeted military action within the next two weeks. He explains that any strike would be aimed at degrading Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities—not launching a full‑scale war—while regional powers aligned under the Abraham Accords weigh their own interests in the potential collapse of the Iranian regime. The conversation then turns to the complex geopolitical landscape involving Iran, Venezuela, and Cuba, where Yates argues that the U.S. is using “smart power”—economic, political, and strategic pressure—to create conditions for gradual regime transformation without repeating the mistakes of Iraq. Clay and Buck press Yates on possible successors inside Iran, the role of the Iranian diaspora, and whether Gulf nations secretly prefer the current Ayatollah in power as a known, contained adversary. This leads into a moment of levity as they mock Rep. Alexandria Ocasio‑Cortez’s widely panned appearance at the Munich Security Conference, where she struggled to answer a basic question about China–Taiwan tensions. Yates jokes that even a quick AI search would have prepared her better. Dirty Dem Playbook The James Talarico–Stephen Colbert controversy, which Clay and Buck argue has massively backfired on Democrats. They trace how CBS refused to air the Talarico interview over potential FCC equal‑time violations involving Texas Senate candidate Jasmine Crockett, but the decision instead triggered a “Streisand Effect”, catapulting Talarico to viral fame. CNN’s election data analyst Harry Enten confirms that Google searches for Talarico skyrocketed nationally and especially in Texas—over 1,100%—dramatically shifting prediction markets toward him in the upcoming Democratic primary. Clay argues that the real political victim is Jasmine Crockett, likening the situation to the Democratic Party “rigging” the 2016 primary against Bernie Sanders. The Trans Trend Karol Markowicz, co‑host in the Clay & Buck Podcast Network, who joins to analyze two high‑profile transgender‑related family mass murders—one in British Columbia and one in Rhode Island. The hosts argue that political activism and online rhetoric have normalized delusional thinking while discouraging honest discussions about mental health. Markowicz highlights the sudden spike in youth identifying as transgender as a “social contagion,” noting huge differences in rates between states like New York and Florida. The segment also covers a groundbreaking legal development: NYU Langone halting gender-transition procedures for minors amid growing malpractice lawsuits, including a recent multimillion‑dollar jury award to a detransitioner. The show then pivots to cultural commentary, including Markowicz's evaluation of Taylor Swift’s cultural power, where she agrees that Swift is comparable in scale to global icons like the Beatles and Madonna. Clay and Buck debate Swift’s influence across generations and joke about Clay’s much‑discussed mustache. The hosts also highlight uplifting Olympic news as Team USA men’s hockey star Quinn Hughes goes viral for calling America “the greatest country in the world” after scoring a sudden‑death goal over Sweden—one of the few unapologetically patriotic moments they say mainstream media rarely promotes anymore. Pro-Trump Granny Clay and Buck spotlight a powerful moment from President Trump’s Black History Month event at the White House, where an impassioned grandmother, Floresia Cook, went viral for defending Trump’s record on crime and public safety. They note Trump’s warm statements about Jesse Jackson following his passing. The hosts wrap with an economic update: 30‑year mortgage rates have hit a four‑year low, edging just above 6%, which they say may begin to thaw the frozen housing market locked up by years of Biden‑era inflation. They end on a light note about a typo discovered in Buck’s bestselling book Manufacturing Delusion.

Dr. Paul Testa, Chief Health Informatics Officer who helped create the About Me Initiative at NYU Langone Health, and Dr. Katherine Hochman, Director of Hospital Medicine at NYU Langone Health, who envisioned the initiative, discuss the benefits of encouraging patients to provide non-medical information. The goal is to help care teams see patients as whole people beyond their diagnoses and to give patients an opportunity to share interests, hobbies, and fun facts that can help build trust and meaningful human connections. This About Me Initiative is being expanded from inpatient care to outpatient settings, such as infusion centers. Paul explains, "The About Me section in our EHR Epic is something that NYU Langone developed with the inspiration of Dr. Hochman, and it's essentially a dedicated discreet space in the medical record to allow patients to declare themselves, allowing them to give them a space that is transparent to all the users of the electronic health record, which are many and vast in their rules. So let them articulate something beyond their disease process or their health. So often, we reduce records to pneumonia, a broken hip, or an infection. The patient is so much more than that, and patients want to share that with us. We know that from practicing for years, Kathy and I both know that the way you connect with patients is through a narrative. Our currency is narrative. This is a location where either a patient or, if they choose to defer, can have one of their nurses or care team members provide a small sample of who they are outside of the care environment." Katherine elaborates, "So I'm a hospitalist. Every Tuesday, I come into 16 to 18 new patients. And at NYU Langone, our length of stay keeps getting shorter and shorter, which is fantastic for patients because we want to get them in and out of the hospital as quickly and as safely as possible. But by definition, if patients stay shorter and shorter, we don't have as much time to connect. So the About Me Initiative really kicks off that connection that Paul was talking about a second ago. So long ago, and this is how it started, I would tell my teams, slow down to speed up, get to know who this patient is before getting into the heart failure, the pneumonia, the COPD, and really try to establish a little bit of a connection and build trust." #NYULangone #PatientVoices #PatientCare #HealthcareInnovation #PatientExperience #HealthIT #EHR #EpicEHR #HumanConnection #HealthcareTransformation #PatientCentered #MedicalTechnology #DigitalHealth #EmpathyInMedicine nyulangone.org Download the transcript here

The silence of MAHA influencers around the murder of Renee Good (and ICE generally) has been excessively loud.

Dr. Thomas Wisniewski, Director of NYU Langone's Alzheimer's Disease Research Center, shares insights from a recent study that projects new dementia cases in the US will double by 2060. New diagnostic tools have made it easier to identify early signs of Alzheimer's, and disease-modifying therapies are being approved, which can be effective if patients are treated in the earliest stages of the disease. AI is seen as a tool to help identify at-risk patients and routinely screen patients to manage the growing need for access to dementia care. Thomas explains, "This was a study that was led by the NY Optimal Institute, which is directed by Dr. Joe Resh, who's really a leader in this area and many public health issues. He did a very thorough analysis along with his team that the annual number of incident dementia cases in the United States is projected to increase from current estimates of 500,000 to around 1 million in 2060. So basically doubling in white adults. Furthermore, in African Americans, this incidence of dementia rate is expected to triple, with the largest absolute increases in dementia cases going to be in the oldest old population." "There was perhaps a lack of awareness of the prevalence of dementia in past decades. But now the importance of making an accurate diagnosis and recognition of dementia is becoming much more prominent in the medical literature and in the medical profession. And that message, I think, is permeating to the lay public as well. So there hasn't been a change in the definition so much, but there is an increase in knowledge in the medical profession about the importance of making this diagnosis, and people living alone." "It's really been a dramatic change. So, apart from being a cognitive neurologist, I'm also a board-certified neuropathologist, and it used to be that making the definitive diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease required a chunk of brain. I'm delighted I don't need those chunks of brain anymore to make a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. There are now very clear clinical criteria and biomarker definitions for making a very accurate diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease." #NYULangoneAlzheimers #AlzheimersDisease #DiagnosingAlzheimers #AlzheimersResearch #MedAI med.nyu/centers-programs/alzheimers-disease-research/ Listen to the podcast here

Fans of Off the Record may recall my recent episode with Chris Petrilli, Director of Revenue Cycle of Operations at NYU Langone, who joined me to discuss his experience delivering a TEDx Talk on artificial intelligence. Chris was well prepared and delivered a great lecture, which you should definitely check out on YouTube. And on the podcast he sang the praises of a coach brought in to prep him and other NYU Langone staff for the big day on the big stage. My wheels started to spin, I reached out... and landed that coach for OTR. Susanna Baddiel is an actress, director, voice over artist and TEDx Speaker Coach. She works in both the UK and the US and is a founder member of Actors Shakespeare Company where she continues to act, direct and coach. She has more than 17 years of experience teaching public speaking, personal impact, presentation skills, leadership development, and executive coaching. It was my honor to host her in a bit of an offbeat show than the usual mid-revenue cycle topics. But I picked up a few pointers about public speaking that helped me, and I think you will too. This special episode kicks off November, a month in which I'll be taking a deep delve into provider engagement. Odds are if you're trying to engage providers you'll have to present or educate, and Susanna offers some great advice and practical tips and takeaways. On this show we cover: Her background as an actress in Britain, transition into coaching, and eventually working with niche clients in science and medicine Working with the team at NYU and Chris Petrilli—preparing them, building them up, and getting them ready for the big day. Why preparation is everything in public speaking, as is gratitude for the opportunity Balancing authenticity vs. general principles of good presentation The differences between in-person and presenting on camera. Susanna offers some GREAT suggestions for being better on Zoom. Books and other resources Susanna recommends

Do you struggle with feeling like your happiness lives ‘out there' in the future – in the next partner, the next job, the next milestone? In this episode of the Healing + Human Potential Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Judith Joseph, a renowned psychiatrist and researcher, to explore the difference between the happiness we chase and the joy we cultivate. Together, we unpack why so many high performers confuse burnout with depression — and how to rediscover a grounded, internally sourced sense of aliveness. Dr. Joseph shares the subtle signs of high-functioning depression, how unprocessed trauma can hide beneath busyness, and practical ways to reconnect with yourself. You'll learn her Five V's framework — Validate, Vent, Values, Vitals, and Vision — plus the 5-4-3-2-1 sensory practice to return to the present moment and healthy ways to release emotion without “trauma dumping.” We also dive into her latest research on joy in the digital age — including why two weeks without a smartphone can lift mood as powerfully as an antidepressant. You'll walk away with simple, science-backed tools to reset your nervous system, protect your mental health, and design your own blueprint for lasting joy and wellbeing. 0:00 – 1:20 Setting the frame: Why we chase happiness externally and how science tallies “points of joy.” 1:20 – 3:40 Joy vs. happiness: cultivating an internal resource for resilience (presence over postponement). 3:40 – 6:20 Burnout or depression? The stigma, the “always on” brain, and signs of high-functioning depression. 6:20 – 8:05 Inner restlessness, anhedonia, and why “I can't relax” persists even away from stressors. 8:05 – 10:15 The 5-4-3-2-1 practice: a sensory ritual to reclaim presence (mindful eating, savoring, connection). 10:15 – 12:05 Make it routine: how predictability settles your nervous system (Dr. Judith's coffee ritual). 12:05 – 14:30 “Pathologically productive:” succeeding on paper, suffering in silence — a 2020 wake-up call. 14:30 – 16:35 Why prevention matters: studying high-functioning depression before a full breakdown. 16:35 – 18:30 Not all trauma is “capital-T”: neglect, scarcity, and the invisible experiences that shape us. 18:30 – 21:05 Scarcity trauma vs. scarcity mindset: epigenetics, inherited behaviors, and overworking on autopilot. 21:05 – 23:00 Distinguishing love of learning from fear-driven achievement; checking the operating system. 23:00 – 25:10 The Five V's (part 1): Validate (name what's true) and Vent (without trauma dumping). 25:10 – 27:00 Healthy venting: emotional consent, reciprocity, journaling, prayer, and crying (90-second waves). 27:00 – 28:40 The Five V's (part 2): Values—prioritizing the priceless over the performative. 28:40 – 30:35 Collective & vicarious trauma: protecting your brain in a 24/7 news cycle. 30:35 – 32:10 RESET method: Realize, Educate, Strategy, Expectations, Thoughtfulness (boundaries with tech). 32:10 – 34:10 Smartphones & joy: why a “flip-phone fortnight” can feel like an antidepressant (more sleep, nature, connection). 34:10 – 35:10 The self-scrutiny trap: always seeing our own face, rising criticism, and lost social joy. 35:10 – 36:30 Digital age sanity: sleep hygiene, light exposure, and device boundaries that restore your brain. 36:30 – 37:35 “Understand the science of your happiness”: mapping your bio-psycho-social fingerprint. 37:35 – 39:00 The Five V's (part 3): Vision—plan your joy and celebrate small wins daily. 39:00 – 40:00 Closing: Joy heals communities; permission to feel good now + where to connect with Dr. Judith. === Want to go deeper on healing trauma?

Can high-precision radiation change how we treat metastatic prostate cancer? In this episode, I'm joined by Ronald C. Chen, MD, MPH—radiation oncologist, national guideline author (AUA/ASCO), and clinical-trial leader with 170+ publications—to unpack stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for disease that has spread to lymph nodes, bones, and beyond. We get practical about who benefits, where SBRT shines, and how to balance treatment intensity with quality of life.SBRT offers highly focused, short-course radiation that can control limited (“oligo-”) metastatic prostate cancer and delay systemic therapy for many men. Dr. Chen explains when to treat individual nodes/bone lesions versus comprehensive nodal fields, how anatomy determines dose/fraction choices (often 3–5 treatments), and why modern SBRT sometimes reduces the need for concurrent hormone therapy. We cover salvage options after prior radiation (brachytherapy seeds, HIFU, cryo, repeat SBRT, or salvage prostatectomy), the role and limits of PSMA PET, fracture risk and bone health (DEXA), and the evolving data—including the large NRG-GU013 trial—for higher-risk disease. Throughout, we emphasize shared decision-making, realistic expectations, and considering clinical trials when data are evolving.00:00 – Can SBRT change metastatic prostate cancer care? Meet Dr. Ron Chen.01:00 – Disclaimer: Views are Dr. Geo's and guests'—independent of NYU Langone.07:00 – Recurrence scenarios: prostate-only, nodal, or bone/other; why catching early matters.12:00 – Five salvage options after prostate radiation: seeds (brachytherapy), HIFU, cryo, SBRT (focal or whole-gland), or salvage prostatectomy.19:00 – Nodal relapse: treat all pelvic nodes + ADT ± abiraterone vs. SBRT to a few nodes only—how patient priorities drive the plan.26:30 – Oligometastasis: SBRT alone can control disease for many men ~2+ years on average, delaying hormones.30:00 – Fractions: why 3–5 treatments is typical and how adjacent bowel/organ anatomy sets the pace.31:00 – SBRT in 2 fractions for select primary cases looks promising; high-risk SBRT under study (NRG-GU013).37:00 – Bone mets: SBRT preferred; understanding fracture risk (tumor size, dose, shrinkage).40:00 – DEXA before ADT; spine SBRT can spare the spinal cord with modern planning.48:00 – Clavicle/hilar nodes: SBRT near lung/heart/esophagus—safe with careful dose constraints.56:00 – Why clinical trials matter for “how long on hormones?” and other open questions.57:00 – Soft-tissue mets (liver/brain): SBRT can help, often alongside systemic therapy.59:00 – Parting advice: early detection, close follow-up, and hopeful trajectory of care.___________________________________
Is androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) always necessary when prostate cancer patients undergo radiation? And if so, for how long—six months, a year, two years? In this insightful conversation, Dr. Geo sits down with Dr. Nima Aghdam, radiation oncologist at NY CyberKnife and NYU Langone, to explore the evolving role of ADT in prostate cancer treatment.Dr. Aghdam shares his expertise on advanced radiation techniques like SBRT, personalized approaches to ADT duration, and the importance of lifestyle interventions. Together, they highlight how individualized care can improve survival, minimize side effects, and help men thrive beyond diagnosis.If you or a loved one are facing decisions about radiation and hormone therapy for prostate cancer, this episode offers clarity, evidence-based guidance, and hope.Radiation vs. Surgery: Both are highly effective; choice often comes down to quality-of-life goals and patient preference.Lymph Node Positive Disease: Options include focal SBRT or comprehensive external beam therapy; treatment decisions must balance efficacy and quality of life.Lifestyle's Role: Exercise and nutrition create a “hostile microenvironment” for cancer, improving both survival and side-effect management.Radiation Innovations: From rectal spacers to fewer treatment sessions (trials reducing SBRT from five to two fractions), techniques continue to evolve.ADT Considerations:Historically prescribed for up to 24–36 months with radiation.New genomic and AI-based classifiers may allow some men to stop ADT earlier (6–12 months).Balancing survival benefits with quality of life is critical.PSA Anxiety: PSA fluctuations don't always equate to recurrence or mortality. Context and long-term monitoring matter more than isolated numbers.Finding the Right Oncologist: Beyond equipment and technology, trust and honest communication with your doctor are essential.Timestamps00:00 – Introduction: Is ADT always necessary during radiation?05:00 – Radiation vs. surgery for localized and advanced prostate cancer.10:00 – Salvage options: what happens if radiation or surgery fails?13:00 – Treating prostate cancer with lymph node involvement.17:00 – Communicating metastasis risk and long-term outcomes to patients.18:30 – Lifestyle interventions as part of prostate cancer care.21:00 – Rectal spacers and preparation for SBRT.23:30 – Advances in SBRT: reducing from five fractions to two.25:30 – Understanding fractions, dosage, and radiation delivery.32:00 – Personalizing ADT: who benefits, and for how long?36:00 – Clinical trials on ADT duration (6, 12, 18, 24+ months).39:00 – Radiation's long-lasting effects and how ADT fits in.42:00 – PSA recurrence vs. actual risk of mortality45:00 – Patient anxiety and the psychological impact of PSA testing.47:00 – Exercise and lifestyle: evidence for improved survival.49:00 – Supplements, PSA manipulation, and misinformation.51:00 – How to choose a reputable radiation oncologist.56:00 – Evolving evidence: are radiation-related risks lower today?58:00 – Parting words: seeing prostate cancer as a chance for transformation.___________________________________
