Dr. Eric Walser is an interventional radiologist and professor specializing in focal, minimally invasive cancer treatments, with a particular focus on prostate cancer. He teams up with his daughter—a comedian—to break down complex medical topics in a way that’s clear, engaging, and genuinely entertaining. Together, they explore everything from prostate cancer and radiology to longevity and modern medicine, all while trading personal stories and finding humor in the moments that medicine doesn’t always talk about. New Episode Tuesday @ 5 am CST
AI, Radiology & Who You Sue When the Robot Misses Your Cancer
A hospital CEO says AI could replace radiologists. Dr. Walser, a radiologist, thinks he might be right.
Dr. Walser explains what AI actually does on a scan (it's great at "normal," less great at everything else) and who gets sued when the robot misses a cancer. Madi asks the question nobody at the hospital wants to answer: if AI reads the easy cases, who trains the next doctors?
Inside:
05:59 The robot missed it. Who do you sue?
31:19 How Dr. Walser actually uses AI every day
43:41 A listener asks about ejaculation and prostate cancer.

Penile Implants & the Austin Powers Pump
Be sure to leave your questions in the comments below and let us know what topics you want to hear more about! IG @DoctorWalser
A breast implant just sits there. A penile implant has to work.
Dr. Walser walks Madi through the device nobody talks about: the penile prosthesis. How the first one was built in 1936 out of a rib, why the malleable version is “always stiff as a board,” how the three-piece inflatable actually works (there is a pump in your scrotum and a switch), why the brand names sound like Transformers, who needs one and who should never get one. Madi asks whether insurance pays, whether you can get one just to be bigger, and why, if we can build an iPhone, nobody has built a better one. Plus the Austin Powers pump, which turns out to be a real medical device, and why “penile rehab” is a thing after prostate surgery.
Recorded in August 2026.
*A few numbers, corrected: AMS is American Medical Systems, now part of Boston Scientific. Pooled studies put patient satisfaction around 83% (many single studies above 90%) and partner satisfaction around 70 to 76%. US implants are estimated at 23,000 to 25,000 a year. US maternal mortality was 17.9 per 100,000 births in 2024, the highest of 14 high-income countries.
And yes, this is educational, not medical advice, and we still want you to see an actual doctor.

Doctor Discovers His Own Prostate Cancer
Imagine developing technology to improve MRI imaging, volunteering to test it on yourself…and then noticing everyone in the room suddenly getting VERY quiet.That’s exactly what happened to Randy Jones.In this episode, Madison and her dad, Dr. Eric Walzer, sit down with medical technology inventor Randy Jones for a fascinating conversation about prostate cancer, MRI technology, artificial intelligence, men’s health, and giving patients more information and options when navigating their healthcare.They also get into PSA levels, biopsies, active surveillance, focal treatment, patient access to diagnostic information, and why men need to get more comfortable talking openly about their health.And because Madison is interviewing her own father, a serious conversation about prostate cancer naturally turns into questions about whether men brag to their friends about having a huge prostate.Normal father-daughter stuff.

In Defense of the Taint
Be sure to leave your questions in the comments below and let us know what topics you want to hear more about! IG @DoctorWalserWhat is a perineum, why does the Greek root translate to roughly "around nothing," and why is Dr. Walser going to bat for the most ignored square inch of the human body? Madi and Dr. Walser cover the anatomy every single person has and nobody discusses: where it sits on men and women, why it's the area cut during an episiotomy, and the live controversy in American medicine right now. Europe has switched prostate biopsies from going through the rectum to going through the perineum and reported zero infections, while the US still largely goes through the rectum with an infection rate around four to five percent. Then: why doctors resist the switch, how billing codes quietly shape which procedure you're offered, pelvic floor therapy and why the perineum wires into the limbic system rather than the thinking part of your brain, kegels for men, incontinence and impotence, pudendal neuralgia, saddle injuries, and why sitting all day is rough on a body part that wants you upright. Plus the argument that the shame is the actual health risk, and what happened to teen pregnancy in Colorado when they started teaching sex ed.And yes, this is educational, not medical advice, and we still want you to see an actual doctor. We raised you better than that.Got questions? https://doctorwalser.com/podcastNew episodes every Tuesday at 5 am EST. Bring questions. Be curious.Produced by @pettycashstudios

A Doctor Reacts to the Military's Testosterone Order
Be sure to leave your questions in the comments below and let us know what topics you want to hear more about! IG @DoctorWalserWhat happens when the internet decides every man's problem can be solved with more testosterone?In July, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced annual testosterone screening for service members 30 and older, framing it as the path to a higher-testosterone military. The Pentagon issued the guidance in early September, then pulled it within a day.Madison asks her dad, an interventional radiologist, what any of it actually means. They unpack the Low T conversation: testosterone supplementation, fertility, sperm counts, whether younger men really do have low testosterone, and why so many people are taking hormones without ever getting tested first. Plus why taking your medical advice from someone without a medical degree might not be the greatest life strategy.And because this is apparently what counts as normal father-daughter bonding in this family, Madison also gets to ask her dad about libido, reproductive health, and hanky panky.And yes, this is educational, not medical advice, and we still want you to see an actual doctor.If you learned something you did not expect to learn today, leave a like.Tell us in the comments: what health claim have you seen online that you want Dr. Walser to fact-check?Subscribe for more father-daughter conversations, and send this to the person in your family who would turn dinner into a lecture on brain anatomy.Got questions? https://doctorwalser.com/podcastNew episodes every Tuesday at 5 am EST. Bring questions. Be curious.Produced by @pettycashstudiosTIMELINE- Mid-July 2026: Hegseth announced annual testosterone screening for service members 30 and older, optional under 30, with voluntary testosterone replacement therapy for those testing low. He framed it as keeping troops on the "leading edge of lethality."- Wed 2026-09-03: the Pentagon published the detailed guidance, "Clinical Guidance for Health and Human Performance Optimization," effective immediately.- Thu 2026-09-04: the memo and accompanying statement were removed. Described as temporarily rescinded. Whether it returns is unknown. It is DoD-wide, covering service members across the military. It is NOT Army-specific.Physicians and researchers publicly questioned whether Hegseth's claims about testosterone are supported by research.#doctor #familypodcast #medicalpodcast #comedypodcast #medicine #petehegseth #testosterone #lowt #menshealth #hormonehealth #fertility #militaryhealth #healtheducation

Research, Predatory Medical Journals & Dolphin MRIs
Madi and Dr. Walser unpack how medical research actually works: why rigorous studies take years, how peer review and retractions function, spotting predatory journals, and why trust is wobbly right now. They detour into AI triage in radiology, physician shortages and resident pay, NIH/indirect cost debates, the ethics of cadavers and animal research, and where wild new tech (BCIs, nanobots, dolphin/mummy scans)might lead. Along the way: comedy analogies, media optics, and nuance rants)

Prostates, PSA & Heat Therapy
What’s a prostate actually for? How did we diagnose cancer before MRI? Why are men still getting 12–30 blind biopsies, and what’s changed? Madi and Dr. Walser unpack PSA screening, MRI’s rise (“the manogram”), radical prostatectomy downsides, and newer focal ablation (heat/laser) done as outpatient. Then: erections, ejaculation, penile implants (rare but real), torsion, hernias, and how spouses often drive men to get help. A frank primer on men’s health with zero shame and lots of laughs. And yes, this is educational, not medical advice, and we still want you to see an actual doctor.

Radiology, Prostate Cancer & Why Medicine isn't the Enemy
A real doctor explains what radiology actually is, why minimally invasive surgery is kind of amazing, and why medicine is not out to get you. In this intro episode, Madison sits down with her dad, Dr. Eric Walser, an interventional radiologist with 40 years of experience, to talk about: radiology, prostate cancer, and why age doesn't mean you have to give up your life. There are awkward dad jokes, uncomfortable truths, surprisingly funny conversations about nursing homes, and just enough science to make you smarter without stressing you out.
