    Jun 16 2025
    Matthew Zachary has been reshaping the healthcare media landscape since before podcasting even had a name. A 29-year survivor of brain cancer, he’s the founder of Stupid Cancer and the voice behind Out of Patients—one of the longest-running healthcare podcasts, which launched in 2007 as The Stupid Cancer Show. Dubbed “America’s Cancer Advocate” by People magazine, Matthew is known for cutting through the noise, speaking the truth, and helping patients reclaim their power. In this conversation, we dig into what empathy looks like in the hospital, why healthcare marketing still misses the mark, and how consumer-led cancer care might finally force the system to pay attention.
