Drug Story
A new podcast about the disease business, one drug at a time.
Diabetes. Anxiety. Insomnia. Heart disease. Food allergies. For every modern malady, there are drugs promising to fix it. So many drugs.
But they never really fix the problem, do they? Yes, drugs can help people manage their disease. They treat the symptoms. But they rarely remedy what caused the disease in the first place. And therein lies a story.
Drug Story is a podcast that tells the story of the disease business, one drug at a time. Each episode explores one disease and one drug. We explain the pros and cons of treating diseases with medications - and we show who makes money, along the way.
Medicine is complicated - and DRUG STORY tries to bring some meaning to the mess.
Drug Story explains why modern life makes us sick, and how drugs are prescribed as the not-quite-cure. This podcast asks the big question: What happens when we use drugs to mop up big problems?
Drug Story debuted Jan. 6, 2026 and has been selected by Apple as a featured New Show.
