The podcast bringing together MAHA and public health for hard conversations

Summary: Have you ever wondered what happens when mainstream doctors sit down with the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement? Journalists Brinda Adhikari and Tom Johnson created a podcast called "Why Should I Trust You?" to find out. After the Covid pandemic, trust in public health dropped. With figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. taking charge of health agencies, the hosts realized the two sides needed to actually talk to each other.

The hosts travel to places like the Children's Health Defense conference to record massive, two-hour conversations. They bring together top doctors, virologists, and MAHA leaders (including a guest with the incredible name Zen Honeycutt) to debate heavy medical topics like the Hepatitis B birth dose, mRNA, and pesticide risks.

Instead of fighting, the guests often find common ground. The hosts admit they sweat through the exhausting, long recordings, but they refuse to post short, out-of-context clips online. They want listeners—whether they are walking the dog or driving to work—to hear the whole story. By treating everyone as equals, the show is helping rebuild trust and proving that real people are not just social media stereotypes.
