Lauren EsmayStaying Up-to-Date with TimmermanI have an alert set for each episode drop. As someone who writes for biotech companies, I enjoy listening to each guest detail their company, mission, and plan to continue to improve every facet of healthcare. Luke has amazing interview skills and this is one of my top 3 podcasts!
-
ladyscientistpodcastLoved the last 2 episodes!Discussions around gene regulation with Rick Young and finding your purpose with Robert Ang really stood out to me. Thanks for sharing such great stories.
-
JPG1618A treat while social distancingDuring these unusual times, I have found the human stories behind the long run and the great people in our industry a wonderful treat. I listen while walking the hills of SF and feel connected to our community even when we are apart. Thanks Luke. Keep up the awesome work focused on people.
-
1-2-3 JoshGreat PodcastI am someone that is not in the bio tech world, but find it absolutely fascinating. Luke has a great ability as an interviewer to ask questions that makes complex bio tech topics, understandable and not condescending to people are not immersed in the bio tech world.
-
OncoproteinsLet the guests talk more, significantly moreThe list of the guests is fantastic. I only wish that the interviewer would let the guests talk and explain things significantly more. I don’t believe we the listeners are very interested in the interviewer’s personal views or his non-expert interpretations, some of which are often both shallow and unnecessary.
-
yul51471Interesting guests—give them the spotlightLots of interesting and unique perspectives here—would suggest that Luke talk/ramble less and focus on the interviewee. At times it feels like Luke imposes his views/input on the guest which takes away from the story.
-
DW HowellGreat Podcast!I never miss and episode. Would love to see you get one of the Incept founders on. Fred Khosravi and Amar Sawhney have a unique business model and would be a great interview for Luke.
-
BTM12Kick it up a notchBig fan of Luke! But he needs to drink 2 shots of espresso before these interviews and watch a couple mainstream cooking shows to see how to keep audiences engaged. These could probably be half the length with the same content. Otherwise, great podcast content and guests!!
-
KeermasterA needle in the haystack of biotechnologyA great listen for anyone who is going into industry or is an investor in biotech. I would love to see more episodes of deans of biotech grad schools to understand their point of view as well. Thank you, Luke!
-
Neptune from NorfolkEpisodes 15 and 16The listener cannot hear guest on episodes 15 and 16.
-
DevehfAudio quality suffersBiotech historians of the future will spend hours restoring the inaudible recordings with the important pioneers who Luke has access to. I wish I could hear some of the recent interviews. If I were producing these I would scrap the junk and spend more time and money on production equipment and process. Send Luke $ so he can do this. These are important interviews for those of us following the astounding explosion of new therapies yielding incredible benefit to our species.
-
Siddaraju BoregowdaOnly thing needs to change about the podcastVicki Sato and Robins interviews are inaudible.
-
Cchu1348Today’s leading healthcare innovatorsfascinating perspectives. wish it was twice as long.
-
WorldWideWadeThe indispensable biotech journalistNo one beats Luke for the breadth of his biotech knowledge, the depth of his network of sources, and the keenness of his understanding of the drug development process. Everyone who works or invests in this industry needs to be listening.

ender405Great topic, some feedbackGreat idea for a podcast that doesn't exist today. I think this will help laypeople understand the massive risks people take in biotech and how hard it can be to push science forward. I'm a subscriber to the TR and love the content you make Some feedback to make the podcast even better: Focus more on the origin story of the company and of the interviewees. There is such a rich fabric of events to discuss on the early development of RNAi, for example, but this interview barely touched on any of it! I also felt like I didn't learn anything new about John. Keep questions short and leading questions few and far between. On the drug pricing issue in particular I felt like you did most of the talking. I want to hear John's point of view! Limit the amount of current events discussion. This content will be evergreen if it focuses on origin story, science, progress, pitfalls, triumphs, etc. Hope this helps. Can't wait for more episodes!

RayjaymanGreat for the common investor!I really enjoy the insights in biotech drug development. It really fills a need in the podcast space.
