The podcast episodes explore the potential extraordinary benefits and disturbing risks of the new weight loss drugs like Ozempic, and examine the complex ethics and broader societal implications of their use.

In one episode, journalist Johann Hari analyzes different scenarios for how these drugs could disrupt society, from increasing health inequities to prompting a wider reckoning on obesity's root causes, such as the role of processed foods.

The other episode features Hari exploring the broader societal and economic ramifications if a significant portion of the population starts using these drugs long-term.
