Created and hosted by longtime former Time Magazine health writer and Huffington Post blogger, Dueling Docs provides the cure for contradictory medical news. The two-minute modules present the other side of a today's medical news, the side that most major media ignores. Janice sorts out the news, disagreements and all, leaving listeners with a succinct take-home message. Dueling Docs is produced by veteran radio producer Marty Goldenshon.

While the rest of the media doesn't bother to challenge the latest news flash, Dueling Docs always presents the other side of a medical issue, the side that most everyone ignores or gets wrong. Janice explains the experts' views on controversial health matters - and she sorts things out, leaving the listener with a no-nonsense take-home message.

Like a trusted friend in the medical field, Janice reliably makes sense out of health news so listeners can understand what it really means to them and their families.

Produced five times monthly, Dueling Docs is a perfect weekend filler or cap to a health show.
