Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

NATA Radio Row on Tap | AJ Duffy
Q: All right. So my first question is, how did you guys start this? What brought this idea to where we are now?
The concept began with a partner who envisioned two knowledgeable sports medicine folks talking in a bar-like setting about injuries, making it accessible and practical. Over time the show evolved, the team committed to regular contributions, and it became a structured format with educators and clinicians discussing injuries, treatments, and return-to-play implications.
Episode 148: Bladder Cancer Awareness: Why "Invincible" Athletes Aren't Immune
Q: How has treatment evolved for bladder cancer compared to past decades?
Treatments have advanced to bladder-sparing approaches with intravesical therapies and the use of immunotherapy in combination with chemotherapy, reducing side effects and improving outcomes.
Episode 148: Bladder Cancer Awareness: Why "Invincible" Athletes Aren't Immune
Q: What are the red flags or signs that could indicate bladder cancer in athletes or active individuals?
Blood in the urine is the number one sign; additional warnings include burning or pain during urination, pelvic pain, generalized urinary symptoms, and inability to urinate, all of which warrant medical evaluation and imaging.
Episode 142 - Gino Gradkowski, Super Bowl preview
Q: What happens after your NFL career?
Gino explains how he transitioned from player to coach at Rowan University.
Episode 138 - AJ Duffy, NATA President
Q: What advice do you have for a young athletic trainer entering the field?
Be honest about your limitations and keep learning to build trust with your colleagues.
