After decades of searching, Brendan Watkins discovered that his birth parents were a Catholic priest and a nun. To say that his story is fascinating is like saying that the ocean's a bit damp and Antarctica can get chilly. As someone who grew up in a Catholic bubble, this conversation was totally gripping for me. Deception, corruption, denial, pathological lying, neglect, coercion and devastating secrets; this story has it all. Amazingly, Brendan has come out the other side a compassionate, wise and beautiful soul. Enjoy.

#1582 The Son Of A Priest & A Nun - Brendan Watkins

Dr. Ezekiel "Zeke" Emanuel is one of the world's most respected physician-philosophers. He's an oncologist, bioethicist, health policy expert, and professor at the University of Pennsylvania. His work sits at the intersection of medicine, ethics, public policy, and healthcare reform.
Zeke has a MD from Harvard Medical School and a PhD in political philosophy from Harvard University. He also earned an MSc in biochemistry from University of Oxford and a BA in chemistry from Amherst College. It was great to sit down with one of the most respected researchers and academics in the world. I really enjoyed my time with the Doc, and while we agreed on nearly everything, we did diverge on one or two things but of course we did; we’re two humans. Enjoy!

This was an interesting and somewhat different conversation with Dr Bill Sullivan - one where we explored the idea of going back to school (in some form) in our ‘more experienced’ years. Chatting with someone who is a world recognised researcher, scientist, author and educator (and still crushing it in his sixties), it was a great opportunity to discuss a topic that more and more people are choosing to explore and engage in. Like the bloke writing this. Enjoy.

It’s never a boring chat with David Gillespie and this time we talk about the research, the challenges and a potential cure for Motor Neurone Disease (MND), also known in the US as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). As always, David talks to us about a potential chemical culprit, a molecule known as 4-HNE. You might need your thinking cap firmly in place for this one.
