Specialist conversations, asked plainly.
Finding Genius Podcast follows Richard Jacobs in practical, curiosity-led conversations with named specialists and authors. Recent episodes move from ancient-DNA antibiotics and chronic fatigue biomarkers to regenerative medicine, death doula work, inflammation, ecological restoration, trauma care, and charismatic Christian healing.

Finding Genius Podcast is built on interviews with people presented as unusually knowledgeable in their fields. The recent excerpts show Richard Jacobs working as a curious questioner rather than a detached narrator. He asks guests what their work is, how they came to it, and what is happening underneath the headline claim. That approach gives the show a practical texture. The questions often stay close to mechanisms, costs, incentives, symptoms, and real-world use. In one recent conversation, Prof. César De La Fuente discusses machine biology, ancient DNA, antimicrobial resistance, phages, funding problems, and the talent pipeline for antibiotic research. Another episode with Alexandre and Dimitri centers on chronic fatigue syndrome, epigenetic biomarkers, inflammatory footprints, long COVID overlap, and diagnosis. Regenerative medicine appears through Dr. Jeff Gross, with stem cells, PRP, exosomes, peptides, and anti-aging in the frame. Functional medicine comes through Dr. Josh Redd, including inflammation, blood chemistry, diet, thyroid hormones, ozone therapy, EBU, and other treatment approaches mentioned by the guest. The show also makes room for subjects that are not strictly lab science. Darnell Lamont Walker speaks about death doula work, grief, client advocacy, faith at the end of life, and peaceful death. Tim Christophersen brings ecological restoration, climate action, trees, water resilience, carbon credits, and nature into the same broad knowledge-seeking lane. Dr. Arielle Schwartz brings trauma recovery, resilience-informed therapy, somatic-oriented therapies, and nervous system work. Apostle Kathryn Krick brings charismatic Christian language around God, healing, prophetic words, demonic oppression, and spiritual surrender. Across these conversations, the show’s defining move is breadth joined to plainspoken persistence. Jacobs often asks the follow-up that turns a specialist phrase into a concrete explanation. The tone can be promotional at the edges, especially in the recurring intro and membership language, but the interview core is mostly question-driven. It suits a listener who wants access to many kinds of expert conversation without needing each episode to stay inside one discipline. Finding Genius Podcast is most useful when the listener is comfortable hearing emerging, controversial, clinical, spiritual, and speculative topics presented through guest interviews rather than a single editorial filter.
Made for: Suits a listener who wants broad, guest-led conversations across health science, medicine, ecology, trauma, death care, and charismatic Christianity. It also suits someone who prefers direct questions over highly produced narrative structure.
What sets it apart: Finding Genius Podcast stands out for its wide subject span and its habit of pushing specialist guests toward mechanisms, examples, and practical implications. The same feed can move from antimicrobial resistance to death doula advocacy to prophetic healing without changing its interview-first shape.

Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.
A clear antibiotic-discovery conversation linking machine biology, phages, and the economics of medical research.
Finding Genius treats antibiotic discovery as a problem of scientific organization as much as invention. Cesar's account of the Machine Biology Group at the University of Pennsylvania gives the episode its center: computer science, chemistry, microbiology, engineering, and…
A stable molecular footprint gives chronic fatigue syndrome a clearer diagnostic frame, while leaving key comparisons still open.
A blood test for chronic fatigue syndrome gives this Finding Genius episode its clearest focus. Alexandre and Dimitri describe a reproducible, stable epigenetic footprint, connecting inflammatory activity, muscle death, and symptoms often handled as separate problems.
A grounded tour of regenerative stem cell medicine, from PRP and exosomes to therapies still taking shape.
Richard Jacobs' conversation with Dr. Jeff Gross gives regenerative stem cell medicine and anti-aging a practical, grounded pass, moving through stem cells, PRP, exosomes, peptides and vision without turning the subject into a miracle-cure pitch.
Walker frames presence at the edge of loss as a quiet form of care.
Death care feels less like a service than a steady practice of presence in this conversation with Darnell Lamont Walker, author of Never Can Say Goodbye, The Life of a Death Doula and the Art of a Peaceful End.
A clinic-level look at inflammation, testing, and the therapies Dr. Josh Redd describes using in practice.
Inflammation is framed as a systems problem, with Dr. Josh Redd describing how his functional medicine clinic combines medical testing, diet assessment, and detailed patient history to look for the imbalance driving a person's symptoms.
