To fund journalism, a lot of our industry's brightest minds spend a lot of time trying to measure the "impact" of our stories. But sometimes a single comment makes everything feel worth it. All of the episodes of Lost Patients are now out. Listen here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/los…

Next month, Sydney Brownstone and I will take part in this panel discussion about how deinstitutionalization – the closure of state psychiatric hospitals – shaped the mental health care system we live with today. Join us, and mental health experts, on 7/24. Link is on the flier.

If you missed our Lost Patients live event last month, we've just dropped a recording into the podcast feed. We reflected on the podcast, answered listener questions, and talked about solutions with people who have experienced psychosis and clinicians: npr.org/2026/01/01/124…

I have found Lost Patients (a KUOW Public Radio podcast) to be harrowing, balanced, and deeply moving. Each episode unfolds the story of a severely mentally ill person in the Seattle area who fell through society’s cracks. Each episode is a (unfortunately) refreshing departure from the

Late to this, but everyone should listen to Lost Patients. It comes the closest of anything I’ve encountered to making psychosis (and its place in our society) legible. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/los…

More than four months (!) after our launch, Lost Patients is still one of the top documentary podcasts in the country. If you haven't listened yet, hear the story of why so many people in psychosis are left to wander the streets of American cities.

I'm excited to share that this latest episode of Reveal is a collaboration with our podcast Lost Patients. It's been an honor to collaborate with my buddy Najib | نجيب, who produced this episode, to bring these stories to radio stations and podcast listeners across the country.

Glad to be part of this video tribute to USC Center for Health Journalism on its 20th anniversary. Support from this center is what allowed me to make Outsiders in 2020, and steered my career in a new direction focused on serial podcasts and health journalism. centerforhealthjournalism.org/about/history

It's been really rewarding to collaborate with USC Center for Health Journalism these past few years. Like I say in the video, the issues health journalists cover are some of the most complex and polarizing in our society, and it's important we have institutions for sharing acquired knowledge.

Somehow, amid a sea of blood-soaked schlock, our deeply-reported podcast about the mental health system is one of the most downloaded new shows of 2024. Really proud of the whole team behind Lost Patients for showing what podcasts can still achieve. analytics.podtrac.com/top-new-podcas…
