The Lie on the Label: Why This Podcast Exists | Ep0

Ever stared at a label and wondered if any of it meant what it claimed? “Cage-free.” “Organic.” “Grass-fed.” What do these words really mean—and more importantly, who’s profiting from our confusion? Is using animals in biomedical research really the best way to discover medicines for humans?

In this inaugural teaser episode of Puppies, Pandemics, and Public Health, Dr. Johnny Lieberman introduces the why behind this bold, truth-telling podcast. As an infectious diseases physician turned law student, Dr. Lieberman connects the dots explaining the close connection between how we treat animals as a society, and its direct impact on your health, the health of your family, and how you spend your money. From slaughterhouses to the shelf at your local grocery store, to puppy factories,  and what really goes on behind the closed doors in research labs, Dr. Lieberman exposes how hidden systems shape our health, our environment, our wallet, and our lives, every day. 

This is not a conspiracy podcast. It’s a clarity podcast. The truth is we’re not being told the full story about our food, medicine, or the animals in our homes—and it’s not by accident. But you don’t need another scare tactic. You need facts with context, delivered by someone who knows how to cut through the noise.

You’ll hear from scientists, lawyers, whistleblowers, and maybe even a tofu enthusiast or two. But most importantly, you’ll hear the stories that matter to your family, your choices, and your future.

The show officially launches August 27th—hit subscribe now to make sure you don’t miss a beat.
