Since the Epstein blow up, Attia seems to have fallen hard. No substantive guests and warmed over newsletter and podcast topics. Beyond the challenge of getting a senior guest to appear with him for awhile, events seem to have knocked him off his footing. The two podcasts I listened to were flat and he seemed timid.
I’m not sure how I feel about this, except to note it.
Completely expected result. He’s essentially been sidelined.
Not surprised, there have been more articles coming out about him, that have revealed more sordid things than that first one extensively discussed here.
Today is his 4th weekly “AMA” episode in a row. He hasn’t had a single guest interview since the Epstein blowup. He can’t survive forever on AMAs alone.
The unfortunate reality that because of his choice to sideline his values and ethics for power, influence and money - now makes him a pariah. It’s a slippery slope to manage… was great until it wasn’t. Attia shit his bed and now must sleep in it.
I still owe him a huge debt of gratitude.
My current successful longevity results… initially came from his Drive podcast on aging… health and rapamycin information. Through his podcast I came to know Matt Kaeberlein as the rapamycin and longevity authority. No one would argue that Matt was the heavy lifter on rapamycin and life/health span.
Some things are impossible to recover from… same for Sabatini and his poor office management. Brilliant man… bad personal choices.
I am surprised to learn he has no current guest episodes for no other reason than I assumed popular podcasts recor many interviews well in advance, and they are just sitting around to be aired.
From a production value, I find it interesting things are so last minute… and also curious if guests requested not to have their interviews aired.
Well said @Agetron
Now that you mention it, they definitely do record the interviews months in advance, per past comments, so I bet you’re right that whomever he had lined up requested not to be aired.
