For instance, one of the shows on hearing, for instance, we timed that show when a law was passed here where it's easier for people to get hearing aids over the counter, actually, in drugstores or even in places like Best Buy. And it's like, whoa, okay, what do we need to know here before we proceed with something like that? Another show, even though I was kind of

knowledgeable about it, but I'm not sure that others were, were a show on orthopedic replacements, you know, knee replacements, shoulder replacements. And we had Dr. David Fisher on and who's a really noted orthopedic surgeon. And I know him intimately because he did both my knees and, and, and how things have really progressed, you know, you know, just over, over the course of years.

You know, 35 years ago, the thought of having a knee replaced was not in everybody's psyche. And now you can. And so these are things, medical advancements really became a good subject to talk about. Yeah, Erin.

Absolutely. And I know you were on the show and I thank you You know, for your insights about, your personal insights about diabetes, greatly, greatly appreciated. And I'm hoping that in those kinds of situations, people get a sense of how others can empathize and help. And I think that's really, really important. One thing I came out of is communication. How about that is a theme.

I mean, it's like we, you know, obviously we kind of use these podcasts as a vehicle for communication, but then what we communicate about and when we do it and how we do it. So for instance, we had Jeremy Olson on from the Star Tribune. We had Mike Shomer on from the Minnesota Department of Health. Arkel Georgiou talked about communication as a health advisor on KSTP television.

And timing a messaging, you know, you think about COVID and how we messaged around that. It was really crazy, but we learned a lot as well. And so I think communication was a major theme throughout many of our shows.

Yeah, we don't want to shy away from hard issues here. That's for sure. And, you know, we had other issues, too. I mean, we addressed racism, which is a tough... I mean, it's like, you know, you do a show on racism as a title of a show, and kind of the first thing you say is, where do you start? I mean, it's just like, how is it that you encapsulate racism in a show? We also...

I mean, it's just like, how is it that you encapsulate racism in a show? We also...

did a show on anti-Semitism. Remember that? And so I think we did those shows almost back to back. And these are issues, if you think about today, literally today, what we're really facing with around the world. So And some of these issues, by the way, some people have said, what happens when you run out of topics? I don't think we'll ever run out of topics. That's number one.

But on the other hand, we could go back and revisit some of the topics as well. Yeah, Sheridan.

Yeah. And, and, and to the research, the background research idea, um, Fortunately, you guys, you give us good statistics on where things are at on certain topics, if we can have the statistics, if they're available. And then we make them available to the listening audience on our website. So believe me, the topics or the ideas that come out of the research, believe me, are just fantastic.

the tip of the iceberg on most of these subjects that we deal with. You know, we had Jan Malcolm on, remember? And, you know, Jan was the former commissioner of health and on the concept of leadership. How is it that we deal with leadership overall? And it was really interesting when I talked to Jan about A day before, she said, I don't even know where to start.
