About This Podcast
Beyond the Buzz™ is a short-form, evidence-informed podcast hosted by Dr. Tara Moroz — a scientist and communicator with decades of experience translating complex human research into clear insight.
Each week, in under eight minutes, we examine the strongest available evidence behind body, mind, tech, and culture trends — from wellness and psychology to AI, digital health, and social media influence — and deliver a clear, evidence-informed bottom line.
In a world of oversimplified advice and viral claims, Beyond the Buzz is for curious adults who want clarity without noise — free from moralizing, hype, or pressure to optimize.
Cutting through the hype — because evidence is empowering.
New episodes weekly.
