  • I’ve been listening for a decade and might have just heard the best show yet

    I just finished the hour long patient safety episode and it was the right message at the right time. I have learned a ton from Todd and his guest, but this one was above average.

    Todd, don’t feel like you have to keep the guest interviews to 20-30 minutes, longer is better. Every interview leaves me wanting more. Keep up the good work.
