An LLM assessed 1,866 question → answer exchanges, the host's own answers included. Speaker names were hidden during assessment. Each exchange was marked answered, partly, redirected or not addressed, with a quote as its source. Every exchange below is timestamped and plays. How it works →
These readings are observational: the transcript shows whether the question was answered directly, whatever the reason. It is an AI reading of a public exchange, never a claim about intent, and the tape is one tap away on every row. full disclaimer →
Every one of the 391 people on the record is accounted for: 114 carry a full rate (8 or more assessed questions on raw tape), 160 more have their questions counted (24 of them with at least one not answered directly; too few raw questions for a fair percentage, edited feed included), and the remaining 117 never took a direct question in any tape we hold: compilations, panels and cameo appearances leave nothing to assess.
No needle for Ron Gutman: fewer than 8 assessed questions on raw tape, and a percentage on a sample that small would mislead. Their counts are real: 4 not answered directly in 6 assessed questions.
Ron Gutman: every exchange, playable
The question Matt asked, then the AI assessment note from the answer. Tap to play the moment. Not addressed = the question was not engaged; redirected = acknowledged, then steered elsewhere.
“So those are the suggestions when you route the right answer to the right person, those are just suggestions, and then the, the physicians makes the call?”
answered: “Think about the world as our QA system, as a QA team”
“And, and, and I read somewhere that you guys had a project, and I don't know if it became a product, but that was, ah, Talk to Doc, was it like almost like a Siri for, ah, for, to, to, to use an LP, basically, to, to query the database? Is that by voice?”
answered: “the mission that we have now, now that we have all this data”
“Um, what, um, you mentioned that you're providing, ah, better contextual data to the doctors so they can make better decisions about their patients. Um, what wearable, ah, devices do you have integrated, and if you don't have wearables integrated, why not?”
answered: “I can't comment on it yet, unfortunately”
“So there's, I mean, there's some history of that, right, of evidence-based, uh, medicine, decision support systems, all those things, um, and hasn't quite worked in the past, largely because, uh, doctors rejected it. Do you think we're at that tipping point where, where doctors are ready to think of themselves almost as data scientists, as you were saying?”
answered: “what happened before, which is what you're alluding to, like they were drowning”

Percentages come from raw unedited recordings only: produced podcast audio has tangents and stumbles cut in the edit, which moves the speaker up by about 12 percentile points. The small-sample counts include the produced feed. This is a reading of a transcript. It is not an accusation of dishonesty, and there are many good reasons not to answer a question directly (confidential numbers, unreleased products, someone else's news to break).
