Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted February 9, 2022 Administrators Share Posted February 9, 2022 Alright guys, The time has come for our community to venture out into the podcast world. To my knowledge, there isn't any podcasts dedicated to hair loss and hair restoration. The bald truth is a radio show, so it does not count as a podcast. I plan on having the podcast interactive with the community. I plan on having our recommended surgeons and maybe some not recommended join the podcast and answer some video questions. I have spoken with a few forum members including @MazAB@Gatsby @kirkland @Dr. Suhail Khokhar about joining as guests. I have few awesome guests in mind. I would love for the community to get behind this idea and together we make this something that is really helpful to the average person. What do you guys think? I'm sure I can get some amazing guests and experts. 10 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic. My comments are not medical advice.

Senior Member HappyMan2021 Posted February 9, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) I would allow any hair transplant performing doctor on the podcast. Hopefully the podcast will be objective and critical enough that bad information and advice will be questioned. And doctors should be prevented from self-promotion. This will allow listeners to see the difference between a recommended and non-recommended doctor. And it will give ambitious, up-and-coming but non-recommended doctors an opportunity to step up and showcase their knowledge.

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted February 9, 2022 Author Administrators Share Posted February 9, 2022 If we have physicians on, it will not be to promote their practice or clinic. It would be to answer questions from hair loss sufferers. The obvious difficulty with getting non-recommended surgeons on the podcast is there is no relationship. But there are some doctors that aren't recommended that I have a good relationship with that would participate. But most importantly I want to know from the community whether they would be willing to participate. I want this to be a community podcast. 4 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Senior Member NARMAK Posted February 9, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted February 9, 2022 I think the idea of having hair transplant doctors of good repute on to answer fact based Q&As is a good idea. Like you said, you're not there to try promote etc. but to educate and ensure the right sort of information is out there. I think another great part to discuss would be hair restoration and busting the common concerns around medication and what options people should use. I know you said that The Bald Truth is a Radio Show and you want to make it a podcast, so what distribution method are you thinking of? I think having patients on as well discussing about their experiences and also those who maybe have had poor experiences through inexperience and then having been through a repair would be eye opening for people to hear from. 1 Follow my first Hair Transplant Journey!

I would want to have it on Apple, Spotify, and all of the platforms that support podcasts. I would upload it also to YouTube so I can post it here and embed it automatically to a post. I would also like to speak to guests who have a different wheel house, for example, maybe I could get one of these companies that are trying to clone hair on, Stemson Therapeutics is one.

Senior Member Future Hair Doc Posted February 9, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted February 9, 2022 This is a great educational endeavor and can be cross posted on other communities such as Reddit to drive more traffic. How often are you thinking of doing this? My advice does not constitute a patient-physician relationship nor as medical advice and all medical questions/concerns should be addressed to your medical provider.

Senior Member MazAB Posted February 9, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted February 9, 2022 Totally agree @Melvin- Moderator, podcasts are virtually non existant in the hair transplant community. This would be the first of it's kind and provide a wealth of knowledge coming from some of the most respected HT doctors and enthusiasts from around the world. Having been on other forums, reddit, Facebook, and others, nothing in my opinion holds a candle up to the knowledgeable members of this community. Looking forward to this in a very big way.😁 A complete and total slam dunk in my opinion👍!!! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted February 9, 2022 Valued Contributor Share Posted February 9, 2022 This is an excellent idea Melvin and I would wholeheartedly enjoy supporting this and being part of it. From an educational point of view their is really only the Bald Truth, and this community who are offering independent information or information that shows any disclaimers. I feel this is the best hair loss forum going. I would love to see us being able to offer educational information that covers as many topics as possible that is independent of marketing. There are so many YouTubers who have made a living out of having one or two hair transplants and then start a YouTube channel (with no qualifications or real world life experience) for the sole aim of just making money from clinics and product kick backs and grabbing material off the internet and packaging it to young, vulnerable guys who subscribe. One of these 'influencers' was offering a prize of a free 'Turkish hair transplant FFS!' Matt Dominance is a perfect example of the people I am referring to (apologies if I have stepped on anyone's toes). It would also be great to be able to educate surgeons out there to get a better understanding of what a patient goes through and how best to meet their needs. For example off the top of my head I really think surgeons need to be screening for things like body dysmorphic disorder, etc. 6 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member kirkland Posted February 9, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted February 9, 2022 Fantastic idea! Opens this community up to a wider audience. The future for hairloss sufferers is so much brighter these days - HT innovations, topical formulations like fin/dut and CB, hair cloning...lots of stuff to be excited about. You won't have a problem finding topics for the podcast. Good stuff, Melvin! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted February 9, 2022 Author Administrators Share Posted February 9, 2022 Thanks for the support guys, you will all be instrumental in the success of the podcast. Now for the name 🤔 I was thinking of “defeat the Norwood reaper” podcast, or “Hair Transplant Network” podcast. Something that anyone would know is about hair loss. Restore hair podcast?

Senior Member JDEE0 Posted February 9, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted February 9, 2022 Seems like a great idea, would be very cool if this happens. Could be a good idea to get in touch with the guy who runs the folliclethought site - he has interviewed the guy who runs Stemson and some of the other players in the pipeline and posted articles on his site. He'd probably be a cool guest regardless as he is deep into the research side of things, but he seems to have a lot of contact with these companies and maybe he could advise on the best way to get in touch with them or provide some details to do so etc. Just a thought. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member NARMAK Posted February 10, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted February 10, 2022 I think the name that is chosen should ultimately reflect the fact that this site isn't just about hair transplants and the podcast isn't either. It should promote restorative treatments as a first step. Especially when a LOT of guys looking for help start off in their late teens, early 20s and are in desperate need of the right information. Stuff that cuts through the BS with facts and urges them not to jump feet first into a hair transplant. Even nickname it like the HRN Podcast to abbreviate the website this is part of. Hell, i don't know how you all feel on it. But i would say my name suggestion is also: Follicle Facts Podcast. Either way, the content imo has to hit the right marks.
