HypochondriActor
Dr. Priyanka Wali is a licensed and practicing physician who specializes in Internal Medicine and is also a stand up comedian. Sean Hayes is NOT a Doctor and he’s never played one on tv, but he sure is interested in medical stories, medical advice and whatever might be ailing him at any given hour. Each episode, Sean and Dr. Wali bring on a guest with an incredible medical story and discuss the outcome. They’ll also play games, quiz each other on medical history, and learn a thing or two... all in an effort to marry comedy and medicine. We think it’s safe to say that Sean’s not America’s first hypochondriac, but he IS America’s first HypochondriACTOR!

Our Editor's Take
The HypochondriActor podcast is equal parts funny and enlightening. Dr. Priyanka Wali and Sean Hayes host the entertaining and informative show. Wali is a practicing physician and a standup comedian. Hayes is a self-professed hypochondriac and an actor. These two address the topic of medical discussions in a lighthearted, humorous way.
Medicine and comedy are two fields that aren't often combined. This is what makes the HypochondriActor podcast such a good listen. It merges two largely unrelated fields, making one wonder why this podcast is the first of its kind.
A famous guest joins in each week to make the show even more interesting. They take part in playful segments and discuss odd medical ailments. Past guests have included Kristen Bell, Will Arnett, Leslie Odom Jr., and more. Some of them discuss serious medical issues. When Rosie O'Donnell was the guest, she talked about her heart attack.
Most HypochondriActor episodes run from 45 minutes to an hour. The hosts keep every segment entertaining. A useful place to start is the “Annual Checkup/Best Of” episode. It's a handy way to understand the podcast's unique approach.
With HypochondriActor, learning about medical facts can be quite amusing. Listeners will find themselves laughing at Hayes' ridiculous questions. Or they might find them a little too relatable. It's hard not to smile while hearing about a celebrity's strange ailment. This is a fun listen that makes some difficult topics digestible. It doesn't even feel like learning. But listeners may gain some valuable takeaways from the podcast.
