Max Jacobson: Dr. Feelgood

Kaveh is joined by comedian, illustrator, and podcaster Kaveh Taherian to investigate Dr. Max Jacobson — aka "Dr. Feelgood" and "Miracle Max" — the physician who fled Nazi Germany and built a celebrity clientele with amphetamine-laced "vitamin cocktails." His patients included Truman Capote, Tennessee Williams, and President John F. Kennedy.

They dig into how his treatments worked, why JFK looked so good in the Nixon debate, and how a bottle of leftover "super serum" ended up with the FBI.
