I hate these fucking woowoo health grifters with so much passion. Thank you for the podcast links - my go-to for this stuff is the podcast "Maintenance Phase"

Maintenance Phase is great, if you like that I think you'd definitely like BtB.

they have a wider range of topics than Maintenance Phase - besides health grifters you'll also get cult leaders, dictators, child abusers, weird Nazi freaks, etc.

here's some of the episodes they've done that overlap most with the health/wellness industry that MP talks about:

Part One: The Vioxx Scandal: How Big Pharma Killed More Americans Than Vietnam

Part Two: The Vioxx Scandal: How Big Pharma Killed More Americans Than Vietnam

Part One: Bruno Bettelheim: The Worst Psycho-therapist

Part Two: Bruno Bettelheim and The Quest To Make a "Good" Concentration Camp

Part One: How Tainted Human Blood Became A Major U.S. Export

Part Two: How Tainted Human Blood Became A Major U.S. Export

Part One: Laetrile: The Fake Cancer Cure That Birthed The Right-Wing Medical Grifting Industry

Part Two: Laetrile: The Fake Cancer Cure That Birthed The Right-Wing Medical Grifting Industry

Part One: Elan School: The Worst 'Troubled Teen' Facility

Part Two: Elan School: The Worst 'Troubled Teen' Facility

The guest on these episodes, Dr Kaveh Hoda, also has his own show, that focuses on medical topics, that's also really good. In fact, they just put out an episode today regarding this topic.
