I enjoy listening to your show podcast, I learn and learn. Keep up the good!
The Doc and Carl teach us every podcast, and they do it without judgement. The Doc answers questions with humor and practicality. He’s a real Dad who understands how real life works, and doesn’t expect perfection.
Carl shares his musical and production skills and his Mom’s humor.
I have listened to Dr. Zorba’s (and Tom and Karl) WPR show for decades from many states - so wonderful have them back. Zorba’s approachable demeanor, advocacy for health literacy and science are appreciated and needed.
My favorite health podcast out there right now. Zorba can be very funny, but he knows his stuff and he knows how to talk to people.
Looking forward to the new show, I listen to you while biking.
