  • Ad selection

    This review is strictly a reaction to the hosts condoning and participating in multiple 90 second ads imbedded in other podcasts. Poor decision making.

  • Wow find a new host.

    Worst voice on this app. I tried to give this a chance on another streaming app but could not listen to that voice! I was reminded on how dreadful it was when I heard a commercial on this app over and over. I’m sure the information is interesting but I want to rip my ears off every time I hear Holly talk.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ask A Doctor: Dermatologist Dr. Anna Chacon on Maximizing Your Appointments and the Research Gap
Q: What role does telemedicine play in improving access to dermatology care?
Telehealth offers a hybrid approach that lets patients get expert advice and medication adjustments without always needing an in-person exam, which is especially valuable for those in remote or underserved areas.
Ask A Doctor: Dermatologist Dr. Anna Chacon on Maximizing Your Appointments and the Research Gap
Q: How can patients prepare to get the most out of a visit?
Write a to-do list or a note with symptoms and questions, bring a support person if needed, and be ready to discuss priorities so the visit stays focused and productive.
Ask A Doctor: Dermatologist Dr. Anna Chacon on Maximizing Your Appointments and the Research Gap
Q: What do you wish patients knew before they walked into a dermatology appointment?
That visits are confidential, that every doctor is different, and the importance of choosing a clinician whose background and focus align with the patient's needs; preparation and clear questions can significantly improve outcomes.
Ink, Skin, and Self: Hannah Williams on Psoriasis, Tattoos, and the Long Road to Loving What You See
Q: I want to start out right out of the gate talking about something that I'm very interested in talking about, which is your beautiful tattoos. How did you get interested in having a tattoo yourself?
I've always loved drawing and expressing myself on my skin; watching my dad get a tattoo and immersion in tattoo studios sparked my fascination. Over time, my aesthetic and music preferences—goth/emo—influenced me to express myself through tattoos.
Plants, Pageants, and Policy: Alisha Bridges on Psoriasis, Advocacy, and Building a Tribe
Q: How did Alisha Bridges become involved in psoriasis advocacy?
Her experience sharing in online support groups, realizing others understood her struggles, and the exposure from the National Psoriasis Foundation conferences sparked her path into advocacy, storytelling, and community leadership.
