🙂Thank you RandomGuy, I think this was an interesting discussion. Be sure to check out the other 6 parts and my original discussion with Aubrey de Grey. My objective was to cover some territory no other podcast has in some areas (or greater depth). It's in incredible geroscience community we have.
I bought, but unfortunately I think its going to be another 6 months or more before all the great comments (shorter questions, less zoomed in, mic quality etc) are seen since I have a huge backlog of podcasts lasting until then. Thanks for the feedback,.
Not at all, thanks, I agree. It will get better I hope in about 6 months from now. These were pre-recorded back when I was anonymous. Huge backlog of old podcasts but eventually, I hope better. In the meantime I hope the quality of interactions and depth of discussion is useful to the community. The day I do not add value on RU-vid as unique (ie hosts generally do not have the same depth of background in geroscience & longevity medicine) is the day I close the channel. So hopefully more good stuff ahead.
Super knowledgeable host who perhaps needs to self-edit a bit more when asking questions. You tend to ramble quite a bit sir, often not even relevant rambling. I think it really slowed down these exchanges. Just some honest feedback to consider on your podcasting journey! I enjoy your content so far and look forward to future offerings
I love it Eric! Couldn't agree more with the critique. And you put that constructive feedback in such a nice way. It reminds me of the culture I'm trying to build on @agingdoc1 on Twitter (X); I have about 25,000 followers or so there and I post interesting articles and publications (many geared towards researchers) but also try to make a positive environment for everyone including all perspectives to learn from each other. In case it sound interesting to you or readers, here it is: twitter.com/agingdoc1 Aubrey de Grey's interview was literally my first interview *ever* for my podcast. Yep, all four parts were from the same ~90 minute session Aubrey graciously agreed to be part of. Truth be told I do focus on content over style, but I know that's an excuse and both are necessary. It being from my first post (and with such a *cough* modest baseline! ) hopefully no where to go but go up, but I will definitely put in an effort. Aubrey, in his customary manner was incredibly gracious and accommodating it being my first podcast. My interview with Aubrey was actually recorded before I went from an anonymous Twitter poster for 3 years to disclosing my public identity (backstory / big reveal): x.com/agingdoc1/status/1721983449907462349?s=20 ( more on my reveal from Longevity Technology longevity.technology/news/the-longevity-journey-of-agingdoc-from-commentary-to-clinic/) I wasn't sure how busy I would be once I went public and with starting the Agingdoc Podcast here at the same time so I have about 6 or 7 pre-recorded podcasts. I think the first 3 or 4 are just as bad (maybe worse) stylistically but I believe all cover new ground among podcasts featuring these prominent figures in longevity research (geroscience) and related disciplines. We covered publications and perspectives I have not seen shared elsewhere; asking unique questions is part of the fun for me following up on research studies I keep track of as a longevity coach/consultant. On that note, my other big release today was a major update of my website agingdoc.com which I hope makes it clearer what I do in this space. It's a personal moonshot, I really like doing it so hope to find clients (sorry its not priced for "at scale" since I'm quite specialized and only have a few hours a week to give to it... I have no plans to make a team like Peter Attia Rhonda Patrick, Andrew Huberman etc. all have... they are all amazing science communicators but I like being "selfish" hoarding all the one-on-one time with my clients which is most fun for me. TL;DR - 1.Appreciate the feedback, agree 100% and working on it 2. Lots more in-depth interviews coming in all recorded and released in segments just long enough for me to have time preparing it, typically Sundays 3. Would love your and other feedback on *agingdoc.com* . It's a little confusing what does it mean for an MD not to use his medical license (no official diagnosis/treatment/meds) but use broad background including PhD, lifestyle medicine training, longevity medicine training, evidence-based medicine to act as a coach and consultant to provide extra info. I know its not for everybody but I love it, and I try to "give back" by making this RU-vid channel and my content on Twitter free, no membership or anything required. I hope my more at-length reply encourages others to have the courage and spirit to make a comment to chime in. I love how deep Aubrey and I went into controversy (a lively conversation be sure you check out the other parts where we got into some great debates; Aubrey truly is a positive spirit), and (always respectful, focused on evidence) community discussion can help leverage the value of this unique content even further yet! Thanks again, you go down in history as one of my first commentators! In healthy longevity, David
It's nothing to do with your videos but Audrey was with Methuselah. Just has to do with crypto. Methuselah now has a coin. I'll send you it through Twitter. Mavelon is my handle.
Very cool! For anyone listening or reading, I am extraordinarily optimistic about the power of blockchain technology, and decentralized, open science (including open access to data from scientific investigation, discovery, and breakthrough). The reference to my Twitter account is here, where I post interesting longevity and health themed publications (plus a bit of my own eclectic passions): twitter.com/agingdoc1 (agingdoc.com)
@agingdoc -> I discovered you by accident on twitter and keep following, I'm sure your content here will be even more encouraging! Good luck and please keep on going!
I found my dream wife 20 years too late. Of course chances are if we had met when we were younger we would have destroyed a marriage with our poor decision-making but nonetheless, it's fun to fantasize :). Maybe in the next life!
Followed your interviews in other channels. Nice to see you create your own. It will be one of the places where I'll rely for latest and most unbiased information on health and aging. Keep up the good work.
Great question @CalumnMcAula ... I'm glad you asked because I think others are wondeirng the same thing... For ADG's interview we spent a good 90 minutes together, so it will be broken into parts. Not only to keep it digestable but also because I only have so much time to edit/review make sure it's a decent audio experience for everyone so I do a bit of that every week. So long story short there will several parts to the interview,, probably (not positive yet) alternating between Matt Kaeberlein and Aubrey de Grey before finishing both and continuing on to my next guest. This will make it more manageable volume wise (people can subscribe AND hit that bell icon too as not to miss an episode without fear of getting overwhelmed) and I can put it out balancing with the many other hats I wear. It was a delight getting to know Aubrey and our friendly discussion around the pros/cons different approaches to science communication and how best to make an impact. Best wishes, Agingdoc

great interview!!.... can you interview Vittorio Sebastiano and/or Sergio Ruiz from "Turn Bio" next? I find what Turn Bio is doing to be very impressive, especially in their ophthalmology side since I suffer from extreme eye issues..
That's a great idea Brandon, Vittorio Sebastiano, Sergio Ruiz et al @ Turn Bio are doing some very interesting work that are changing the landscape and leading edge of innovation. The podcast is an experiment in progress & began, before my "big reveal" of project 49 on agingdoc.com with interviewing a few selected thought leaders around broad themes such as a vision how to optimize efforts to accelrate the devleopment and dissemination of longevity technology to humans. I see myself potentially expanding the scope to specific novel funding and research approaches promising for bringing us to the Holy Grail of effective gerotheropeutics in humans faster. Keep the ideas coming. I am a team of 1 and generated all of this from scratch (RU-vid & agingdoc.com and the healthspancoaching.com business) in 3 months; every day is a major project of triaging priorities to optimal impact in this space. Best support anyone can give: spread word! 😉
I love your posts on X and am excited about this new channel and your new journey! Keep up the fantastic work! Looking forward to the rest of the interview with Matt.
Someone posted for Matt. Who will go down in history as the first (not counting me, agingdoc!) person to post on this historical interview. Aubrey was my very first guest, followed almost immediately by Matt so they are the two fathers of this podcast (with mothers to come within my first 4-5 ...). Echong my reply to the other vid up now: "Hard to believe but I went from conceiving I may do something different on my 49th birtday, to less than three months later launching my coaching/consulting business and the RU-vid channel. It's been an incredible learning journey. Since I'll only be working with a few folks I hope this RU-vid channel, like my @agingdoc1 Twitter account can be a way of generally being helpful in the aging biology, longevity, healthspan and lifestyle medicine communities. The conversations will assume the listener is already familiar with these fields, and in doing so I hope can elevate the level of discussion possible with my invited guests. Some special attention to how to expedite geroscience brining new therapies to patients (and healthy people!) ASAP. " We're just getting started, warming up here, the conversation with both my first two guests gets much more interesting as we go! Best, Agingdoc
Aubrey was extremely gracious as my first guest (steepest learning curve for the host!), a real pleasure to talk with. Stay tuned for the next parts in this series (I'll be alternating weeks between Aubrey and Matt); we get into and have a fun lively conversation about current debates and controversies in biogerontology, his philosophy and beliefs what will help bring the most progress, as well as exciting future prospects for the LEV Foundation ( www.levf.org/ ). Subscribe and hit the bell icon not to miss an epsiode (I only periodically update so you won't be overwhelmed), and stay tuned!
Thanks for the kind words!

We're just getting started, warming up here, the conversation with both my first two guests gets much more interesting as we go. Thanks for "breaking the ice" as the first post here. I'm living proof it's never too late to re-imagine yourself and how to contribute around you in this amazing life!
