Listen to the latest episode of Mixed Signals here.

Doctor Mike is a leading medical voice in digital media, with over 14 million subscribers on YouTube.

This week, Ben and Max talk to YouTube’s favorite doctor about the role of medical experts online, why he thinks legacy media has failed to communicate medical information, and why he’s not afraid to be overtly political by calling out RFK Jr. and the current administration. Plus, a helpful reminder for everyone, including Max, on why you should have a primary care physician.
