Beyond the Buzz Podcast
Short, evidence-informed episodes helping you decide which health, technology, and culture trends, claims, and conversations are worth your time, money, attention, or concern.
Hosted by Dr. Tara Moroz — scientist and communicator with decades of experience translating complex human research into clear, evidence-informed insight.
The question isn’t just: Does it work? It’s: Is it worth it?
Each week, Tara does the research so you don’t have to — weighing what the evidence actually supports, what remains uncertain, and what may genuinely deserve your attention.
Each episode follows a clear arc:
The Buzz
Receipt Check
What the Evidence Shows
Why the Buzz Resonates
The Evidence Clarity Moment
