Transistor (https://transistor.fm) https://feeds.transistor.fm/signal-and-noise Signal and Noise is a podcast about the numbers that quietly shape modern medicine. Lab tests influence diagnoses, guide treatment decisions, and drive a surprising amount of confidence and anxiety. But the numbers don’t explain themselves, and the story they tell isn’t always the one people think they’re hearing. In each episode, Dr. Chris Zahner and Dr. Michael Laposata talk through how medical tests actually work, why results can be misleading, and how meaning gets lost when numbers are treated as answers instead of clues. Along the way, they unpack common assumptions, unexpected pitfalls, and the judgment calls that sit behind everyday medical decisions. This show is for people who are curious about medicine, like understanding how things really work, and enjoy thoughtful conversations that cut through complexity without dumbing anything down. © 2026 Dr. Christopher Zahner 08870ef6-2d4c-5a89-af95-1b92df94fd4a yes en Tue, 27 Jan 2026 10:32:54 -0600 Tue, 27 Jan 2026 10:33:12 -0600 https://www.signalandnoiseinterpreted.com https://img.transistorcdn.com/feCynCD2MX-SzO_RkvC1l3oM3tVmyurEVQFIuFml7KI/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:1400/h:1400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS85ZWIw/NDZlY2UwMzYxMGNl/ODc3NDU5NzUwY2Ey/ODIzOS5wbmc.jpg https://www.signalandnoiseinterpreted.com episodic Dr. Christopher Zahner Signal and Noise is a podcast about the numbers that quietly shape modern medicine.
