  • End the music

    Please please PLEASE no one is listening to TED Health to hear annoying jazz playing in the background. Why do podcasts think they need music played while someone is speaking? It’s SO annoying I cannot listen to podcasts I’m interested in.

Q: How do you see reconstruction as part of a person's healing and not just their treatment?
