Fantastic history

Very relevant. I had no clue of this program, much less that Dr. Fauci was a part. I would love to do more historical research. Alan Alda, as always, was a superb narrator.

A Must Listen

This is one of the most interesting programs I've ever listened to. What a great American story!

Amazing!

This was incredible to hear the history of the NIH and the “Yellow Berets”. These doctors truly had compassion for their patients and worked to save their lives. I enjoyed this very much.

Awesome series

Listened to whole series in one setting. Great history lesson. Good choice of narrator, Alan Alda.

superb story of highly interesting topic

especially liked the closing remarks of Stanley Prusiner as well as Melissa Klein's story of finding the cards in the basement

Would love to have more episodes

What a wonderful and fascinating look into the NIH. I really hope that Alan Alda does more of this podcast. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

An era of quality of patient care

I am a retired nurse (1946-1993) who has seen many changes in patient care and trends in pharmacology. The discipline and commitment of the research physicians of the era 1950-2000 brought forth drugs,vaccines, and technology that saved lives. Can this generation instill and maintain their attitudes and commitment while corporate attitudes increase towards competition and money?
Alan Alda was the perfect reader for this story.
This book could be enjoyable and of interest by the general public.

Fascinating history for all Americans!

I was fascinated and gratified every minute to learn of the great achievements of the physician scientists of the NIH. Dr. Anthony Fauci was one of them, and still continues his great work for the health of all Americans. My husband would probably not be alive without the statin drugs that were developed by these scientists. Many other breakthroughs that affect all our lives were made, and many of these men received Nobel prizes. Of course, Alan Alda’s own enthusiasm and appreciation for his subject make listening a pure pleasure.

Well worth the time to listen

This was great. listened to it in one day. I never knew this history. It makes me wonder how many physicians do. very well done

Best Actor to play a Dr. interviews best Dr. Ever

The history and hope we need in these fraught times. Fantastic story with excellent production values.
