  • Succinct professional content

    The first episode on end-of-life conversations is excellent. I entered it out of curiosity, was pulled in because of brevity (15:18), liked the the brief fluent comments and summaries -- and that the website offers an episode transcription and references. Also the professional nature of production. Well done.
