HoldsUp Checks the Podcast-Claim Conveyor Belt
A research index that checks claims made on podcasts against published studies, with verdicts linked to evidence.
Field notes
The homepage presents an episode library, speaker index, and health category rather than a general podcast directory. Its stated workflow follows a claim to a study, the relevant passage, and the timestamp or moment where it was spoken; claims without a located source receive an “unverified” label. The project names PubMed, Europe PMC, and OpenAlex as sources and cites Oxford CEBM and GRADE as frameworks. The visible index contains recent entries spanning liver health, aging, cancer, parenting, motivation, and neuroscience.
