Bad Batch is a six-part investigative podcast that delves into the true stories of patients who sought miracle cures through stem cell therapy, only to find themselves in critical condition.

The podcast investigates how vulnerable patients—often facing serious health conditions with few options—became victims of unproven and dangerous medical treatments. Through meticulous reporting, the series reveals the gaps in oversight that allow companies to prey on people's hopes and the medical professionals who prioritize profit over patient safety.
Available on major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music, and the Wondery app, Bad Batch can be binged ad-free through subscription services. The series represents compelling investigative journalism that exposes the human cost of an industry operating in regulatory shadows.
