About this listen

Dr. Alexis Paton and Sir Andrew Goddard start with a simple question that turns out to be anything but:

What is health?


Our premiere episode sets the season’s foundation: exploring how society and the world we live in quietly shapes our health — long before a doctor or hospital visit.

You’ll hear why:

  • misinformation and “wellness culture” are impossible to ignore
  • health means different things to different people
  • prevention is always underfunded — and why
  • inequality, housing, food, and policy matter more than we admit

This is a big-picture conversation about how health actually works, and why fixing it requires more than medicine.


Upcoming episodes explore housing, food, climate change, misinformation, and patient safety.
