Alan Alda performs a compelling story

I love that Alan Alda lends his voice to this compelling history of how the draft led our nations best and brightest doctors to gather at the NIH and produce some of the worlds fastest and most impactful treatments and cures for humanity.

Timely and compelling

Alan Alda is the right guy to tell this story. And that it pivots about Anthony Fauci makes it timely and compelling as well as historical.

A Fascinating Set of Recordings

Like others have noted, I would happily listen to Alan Alda read the phone book. That said, this was an amazing listen. I have a friend who works for NIH, and a cousin who worked for Merck, and this gem of a work adds to my knowledge of not only those companies, but to my knowledge of the Viet Nam era.

Thank you to all concerned or putting this presentation together!

The Kind of Soldiers We Need to Invest In

There is a lot packed into three short and compelling episodes about the importance of public investment in research and science for the public benefit. Incredible that such a program would be the breeding grounds for the leaders and scientists like Anthony Faucci. A real lesson in how creating paths for science to serve the public pays huge dividends for all of us. Thank you Alan and Kate for this timely story!

Loved it

this was an inspirational podcast and also very informative and an interesting mix of history blending the Vietnam war, the NIH, and people who benefited from the NIH at that time and continued to benefit from it today, which basically includes all of us. I had a little trouble getting a new episode started. And because of that I had to restart a couple of the podcasts a couple of times to get on the right one. not sure what's up with that but maybe it's just user error.

loved it

Alda was great and the story is fascinating. If you like to hear about scientific discovery, or how to set up a braintrust that will result in Nobel prizes for science, this is not to be topped

A fabulous story of some unsung heroes

Regardless of your politics, this is a great listen and well worth your time. I was only marginally aware of what happened at the NIH, but this gave a fantastic, in-depth look at the great doctors who have saved countless loves through their research. Alan Alda does a great with tons of interviews and the narration.
