Professor Walter Mitty? Plus BIG PHARMA Scandals | Ep.148 | The Scandal Mongers Podcast

But then it was revealed that the UK police got involved to investigate a senior education correspondent just for sending the Prof questions in an email. Now Phil think’s this is a full blown scandal, with much wider ramifications.Phil is then joined by his American chum Gerald Posner to talk about his groundbreaking investigative work on the power and importance of the Pharmaceutical industry.
