New Podcast 'Drug Story' Explores the Cultural Impact of Blockbuster Medications

The First Opinion team has launched a new podcast called “Drug Story,” hosted by journalist and entrepreneur Thomas Goetz. The series aims to uncover the hidden narratives behind widely used medicines.

Each episode examines how drugs such as Ambien, Ozempic, and EpiPens have shaped everyday life, influencing everything from personal habits to broader cultural trends. The conversations highlight both the intended benefits and the unexpected ways these treatments affect society.

Goetz discusses his perspective on the intersection of medicine and culture, and listeners are encouraged to subscribe via Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or their preferred platform. The podcast also offers a newsletter for updates on new episodes.
