Healthy Discussions brings you topical deep dives with expert guests, on healthcare, politics, society and religion. Hosted by Dr Zack Hassan, a medical registrar (hospital physician) who has debated at the illustrious Cambridge Union, each conversation blends science with argument in a way that goes far beyond traditional media. The aim is to educate, debate, and make it fun. But most importantly, to demonstrate that freedom of speech and debate can be a tool for finding the strongest reasons to change our minds, not just a tool for polarisation.
