“The latest health headlines” Honest information you can trust
Guests are expert, professional and humble. Easy to understand. Hosts ask important questions. Full range of health topics. You’ll be hooked, like me.
Self Absorbed and Obnoxious
Joe and Terry are highly devoted to talking excessively about themselves. It’s obnoxious and tedious since they’re not as interesting as they seem to think they are. But the most grating thing they do is their frequent lapse into “baby voice.” Yuck ! Adults should never use cutsie baby talk and baby voice. It’s disgusting. They also recently claimed that an I-Watch couldn’t possibly be dangerous to wear because, well, Joe wears one and he’s careful. How dumb ! What a non sequitur. Apple watches are made and assembled in China for mass consumption : who knows what’s in those chemical components that are affixed to one's wrist all day. Because he wears one doesn’t mean they’re safe. Stop disseminating false assertions as if they’re proven facts.
Great info, but I rarely listen anymore.
Many of their guests are people who I definitely want to hear. But the many, many times they repeat the teasers and go on at length about guests’ resumes, leaves me totally frustrated at the amount of time wasted during an interview. I quit listening to them because of this.
