  • RFK is Shortening Our Lifespans, with Dr. Eric Topol
    Jul 9 2025

    When it comes to medical science, there’s never been a better time to be alive than now… other than maybe a few months ago before the new Trump administration. Americans today are living longer than ever before, and that’s owed in no small part to the National Institutes of Health—a government organization that has been responsible for some of the most significant biomedical advancements in the history of healthcare. Unfortunately, the Trump administration just virtually annihilated the NIH, and sentient gob of clay and anti-vax charlatan RFK Jr. is now in charge of the future of American health. To figure how how to navigate this insane dichotomy of medical potential and squandered medical possibility, Adam speaks with Dr. Eric Topol, a cardiologist and scientist, and director of the Scripps Research Translational Institute. Dr. Topol’s book, Super Agers: An Evidence-Based Approach to Longevity, explores the cutting edge advancements in living longer, healthier lives—advancements which are now in jeopardy. Find Dr. Topol’s book at factuallypod.com/books

  • How Zohran Humiliated the Democrats with David Roth
    Jul 2 2025

    Last week, Zohran Mamdani shattered the notion that a New York City mayor has to be some craggy-faced, man-shaped stack of disappointments who’d sooner die than be seen on the subway. The young, energetic Democratic Socialist ran on a platform of making New York City a more livable place for average residents, which—surprise!—went over well with average residents. Listening to constituents and trying to improve their lives doesn’t seem like a controversial stance, so why is it that the Democratic establishment seems almost as afraid of Mamdani as the Republicans? This week, Adam sits with Defector journalist and longtime NYC resident David Roth to talk about what it might mean for NYC to have a mayor who actually understands what NYC is, and what that might mean for the future of the left.

I was growing tired of listening to the same audio books over and over - and forgetting to renew my library card so I could indulge in new books. I enjoyed watching Adam on TV, so I chose this channel and this episode as a start. Very interesting topic, as well as informative. The titles of the cohorts has always confused me.

I've been meaning to leave my review here. This is just a really excellent and well produced podcast. Adam asks such fantastic questions to all his expert guests and really keeps good conversation flowing. I really wish I myself could have a conversation with Adam. His passion for politics and getting the facts right is inspiring and I love learning about all the different topics he covers. This podcast also introduced me to Contrapoints so like, extra stars for that. It's just a really great podcast and I also love the monologues too. It's very cathartic to hear how fired up Adam gets about current events. And so many of the guests are just great sounding people with wonderful thoughts and ideas

Fantastic Political and Educational Podcast
