Welcome to the inaugural edition of the Healthland Podcast! Click this little arrow for a lively, off-the-cuff discussion of the week’s health/science news.
Host John Cloud, senior writer at TIME and Healthland, leads the conversation with Sora Song, the editor of Healthland, and Belinda Luscombe, editor-at-large of TIME magazine and a Healthland contributor.
This week we discuss:
*The psychology of the Casey Anthony trial: why so many people can’t turn away.
*New studies of fatherhood that suggest the proportion of fatherless (and under-fathered) children is growing.
*The new FDA regulations on sunscreen labeling. Do you need SPF 100?
Finally, we have brief “Field Notes”: bits of health and science reporting from our notebooks.
Below you will find links for the topics we discussed. The Healthland Podcast is still a work in progress, and we welcome any comments and suggestions. Please send them to john_cloud@timemagazine.com. Also, you can follow us on Twitter @JohnAshleyCloud, @sora_song, and @youseless.
