Out of Patients with Matthew Zachary is the longest-running, independent healthcare podcast.

Since 2007, Matthew’s been calling out the hypocrisy, hubris, and hostage-taking baked into American healthcare—with a mic in one hand and a middle finger in the other.

What started as a pirate radio rebellion is now the most trusted, notorious, and unfiltered show in the game. Patients love it. Industry listens. And anyone who’s ever been gaslit by the system knows exactly where to turn to nod their heads in shared rage.

Every episode delivers unsanitized stories, dark humor, policy takedowns, and angsty GenX truth bombs—told by the people living it, not spinning it.

It’s the show you love about the healthcare you hate.

Welcome to Out of Patients with Matthew Zachary (Teaser)

Matthew Zachary is a 24-year brain cancer survivor, the Founder of Stupid Cancer, and an internet radio pioneer with the launch of The Stupid Cancer Show in May of 2007, which boasts over 450 episodes, 2,000 interviews, and 4 million listens.

Pursuant to his stepping down as CEO of Stupid Cancer, Matthew marks his dynamic return to public broadcasting with Out of Patients, a podcast that calls out all sorts of stupid BS in healthcare while serving up stories of advocacy, heroism, and the audacity of health — because patients are losing their patience.

Jonny Imerman Lives

On today's episode, the one and only Johnny Imerman joins Matthew to kickoff this podcast with style. As one of the defining founders of the young adult cancer movement, and someone who supported Matthew in the early days to start Stupid Cancer, Jonny is one of the single most influential cancer advocates in the world. The two talk about life, all the crap they went through, founding a nonprofit, building a community, launching a movement, and knowing when it was time to step down. Stories worth telling.

GenX Therapy: Staten Island, The Universe, and Everything

On today's show Matthew welcomes three of his legacy best friends from high school, Salvatore Diana, Elura Nanos, and Karen Marinelli. A bit of an origin story, the three reminisce abouhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/elura-nanos-esq-15253a14/ t the simpler times back in the 1980s when the biggest thing the world had to worry about was nuclear holocaust — and also when Matt had hair. Lots and lots of hair. Both Elura and Karen are mothers to children with rare diseases so the conversation does get pretty real. We hope you enjoy it.
