As you know, dear listeners, I love music. We start each podcast with a song in part to shift the frame, taking people out of their academic selves and into a more informal conversation. Well, today's guests love music at least as much if not more than me, and they each make a strong case for music as medicine. Jenny Chen is a palliative care fellow at Yale who regularly sings for her seriously ill patients. Look for Jenny to potentially appear on the show America's Got Talent (no lie). Tyler Jorgensen not only plays music for his patients, starting out with just pulling up a tune on his iPhone, he and others at UT Austin and Dell med now wheel a record player into patients rooms and play vinyl, taking patients back to the sounds and routines - think taking the record out of the sleeve, placing the needle in the groove - of younger days. You can here Tyler and I having a great time singing together and sharing stories around his podcast My Medical Mixtape. And Theresa Allison is a geriatrician and ethnomusicologist who studies the role of music for people with dementia. The ability to appreciate, recognize, and engage with music is preserved even until late stages of dementia, and Theresa is examining how music can be useful from the time of diagnosis, not only for the person with dementia, but their caregivers. Many links today, including: -Alive Inside Movie and Music and Memory movement -Music and Creativity in Healthcare Settings - book by Hilary Moss -Tyler Jorgensen's article on Bringing Music to patients at the Bedside in JGIM -Tyler's reflection/story comparing palliative medicine to jazz - something I arrived at independently and tell all new trainees! This is not highly scripted orchestral music, people, it's Jazz. -Systematic review of music (and prognosis) in palliative care -Review of music and dementia interventions (Theresa Allison author) -Theresa Allison's paper on Music Engagement in Dementia Caregiver Relationships in Gerontologist -Jenny Chen's YouTube channel.

How can oncologists and healthcare professionals keep up with the ever-growing body of research to make the best decisions for patients? In this episode, I speak with Anna Forsythe, a pharmacologist, health economist, and founder of OncoScope, a groundbreaking platform delivering daily updated systematic literature reviews (SLRs) in oncology. Drawing on decades of experience in pharma and health economics, Anna shares how automation and AI are transforming the traditionally tedious SLR process—making up-to-date evidence accessible to clinicians in just a few clicks. Anna's vision is clear: democratize access to high-quality, current evidence for clinicians—and ultimately improve patient care.
In this episode, Dr. Charles Schauberger discusses the difficulties clinicians face when identifying and treating inhalant use in pregnant patients, and the findings from his recent article Systematic Review of Obstetric and Child Outcomes of Prenatal Exposure to Inhalants in the Context of a Use Disorder. Dr. Charles Schauberger lives and practices in La Crosse, Wisconsin. He is board-certified in both Obstetrics and Addiction Medicine, and has developed a specialized pregnancy addiction clinic that champions a patient-centered approach to addiction care for pregnant women. While he is mostly retired from obstetrics, he continues to provide addiction care and continues his interest in performing research studies to advance our knowledge of treatment for substances in pregnancy. - Article Link: Systematic Review of Obstetric and Child Outcomes of Prenatal Exposure to Inhalants in the Context of a Use Disorder

Is belief in God just a quirk of the human brain—or is it something deeper? In this episode, I'm joined by theologian Gray Sutanto to explore the insights of cognitive science and what they tell us about our built-in sense of the divine. Drawing from his new book Ascends of the Divine, we discuss the limits of human knowledge, the power of revelation, and how Gray's own journey to faith shapes his perspective.Follow Gray:Instagram | XSign up for weekly emails at RebeccaMcLaughlin.org/SubscribeFollow Confronting Christianity:Instagram | XProduced by The Good Podcast Co.

Professor Jon Jureidini is a child psychiatrist who leads the Critical and Ethical Mental Health research group at Adelaide University in Australia. His forensic deconstruction of industry-sponsored clinical trials has exposed how pharmaceutical companies manipulate data, employ ghostwriters, and cultivate academic figureheads to create an illusion of scientific consensus around their products. Prof. Jureidini has revealed how medications prescribed to our most vulnerable populations—children and adolescents—gained approval based on studies that were fundamentally misrepresented in the scientific literature. In his groundbreaking book, 'The Illusion of Evidence-Based Medicine: Exposing the crisis of credibility in clinical research,' co-authored with Leemon McHenry, he systematically demonstrates how commercial interests have hijacked the evidence base that clinicians rely on, compromising patient care in the process. His work raises profound questions about the integrity of published research and challenges us to reconsider the foundations of modern medicine. Jureidini reveals shocking findings about the landmark 'Treatment of Adolescent Depression Study (TADS) study that's been used to justify prescribing antidepressants to teenagers—despite evidence showing a five-fold increase in suicidal events. With nearly 20% of adolescent girls now taking SSRIs, this conversation exposes the profit-driven deception that puts millions of developing brains at risk while pharmaceutical companies continue to thrive on what Jureidini calls "the illusion of evidence-based medicineChapters00:00 Introduction to the Crisis in Psychiatry02:20 The Illusion of Evidence-Based Medicine04:34 The TADS Study: A Closer Look10:47 Evaluating the TADS Study's Findings14:22 The Ethics of Informed Consent26:28 Risks and Alternatives in Treatment32:59 The Controversy of Antidepressant Prescriptions35:46 Ethical Concerns in Pharmaceutical Practices40:29 The Impact of Clinical Trials on Drug Approval47:08 Challenges in Psychiatric Research and Publication50:29 Restoring Trust in Scientific Integrity58:20 A Shift Towards Social Determinants of Mental Health RADICALLY GENUINE PODCASTDr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineDr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) / XSubstack | Radically Genuine | Dr. Roger McFillinInstagram @radicallygenuineContact Radically GenuineConscious Clinician CollectivePLEASE SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS15% Off Pure Spectrum CBD (Code: RadicallyGenuine)10% off Lovetuner click here—-----------FREE DOWNLOAD!

The central theme of this podcast episode revolves around the intricate relationship between love and control, as exemplified by the character of Zebediah Killgrave, known as Mr. Purple, from the "Alias" comics and the "Jessica Jones" television series. We delve into the complexities of Killgrave's character, whose powers allow him to control others, ultimately leading to a profound exploration of the nature of love as non-coercive and genuine. Our discussion is enriched by insights from our guest, Nick Polk, who previously contributed to the discourse surrounding the ideas of omnipotence and amipotence, as articulated by Dr. Thomas Jay Oord. We reflect on how these concepts manifest in contemporary narratives, particularly in the context of superhero stories, and consider the implications of power dynamics within relationships. By examining Killgrave's quest for love against the backdrop of his controlling nature, we unravel broader questions regarding the ethical dimensions of authority and the essence of true connection.An exploration of the complex relationship between love and control is at the forefront of this podcast discussion, as hosts Joshua Noel and Pastor Will Rose are joined by former host Nick Polk. The conversation is inspired by Nick's contribution to the essay collection "Amipotence: Support & Criticism, Expansion & Application," which engages with Dr. Thomas Jay Oord's provocative rethinking of divine omnipotence in light of God's loving nature. The hosts delve into the character of Kilgrave, also known as Mr. Purple from the *Jessica Jones* comics and Netflix series, whose ability to control others raises profound questions about the nature of love and genuine connection. Through their analysis of Kilgrave's abusive manipulation and misguided search for love, they illuminate the problematic implications of power dynamics in relationships, both in fiction and in theological discourse. This episode serves as a critical lens through which listeners can reflect on the intersections of control, love, and the human experience, compelling them to consider the ethical ramifications of omnipotent authority.In this episode, the discourse revolves around the character of Kilgrave from the *Jessica Jones* series, a figure emblematic of the tension between power and love. Hosts Joshua Noel and Pastor Will Rose, alongside guest Nick Polk, investigate the implications of Kilgrave's mind control abilities in relation to Dr. Thomas Jay Oord's concept of amipotence, which proposes that a truly loving God cannot exert coercive power over others. The hosts reflect on the nuances of love as depicted in pop culture, particularly through Kilgrave's tragic inability to form authentic relationships. This discussion not only unpacks the psychological repercussions of Kilgrave's actions within the narrative but also draws parallels to real-world power dynamics, including those present in religious and societal structures. The episode ultimately challenges listeners to reevaluate their understanding of love, agency, and the intersection of divine power and human autonomy, fostering a deeper contemplation of these intricate themes.The podcast episode masterfully intertwines the realms of comic book storytelling and theological inquiry, centering on the character of Kilgrave from *Jessica Jones* as a focal point for discussing the nature of love and control. Hosted by Joshua Noel and Pastor Will Rose, with insights from Nick Polk, the conversation critically examines the ethical considerations surrounding power dynamics, both in fictional narratives and in theological contexts. Drawing from Nick's contributions to the essay collection on amipotence, the hosts explore how Kilgrave's manipulative tendencies reflect broader societal issues related to authority and love. The episode poses profound questions about whether genuine love can coexist with control, urging listeners to reflect on their own...

Join us for a discussion about the importance of building in systems when you have ADHD and run a business. Justin Vajko is the founder of Dialog With Us. One of my favorite parts of the interview is when Justin shared his systems to help him support his ADHD. You can get the Magnetic Systems Method (and other systems guides) to find issues before they become expensive problems. Highlights from the interview: 1. Content creation system Justin Vajko shares his content creation system that helps him consistently produce and publish content for his business. The system involves recording himself during client calls and podcasts, automatically uploading the recordings to Dropbox, and then having his team clip, write, and publish the content. This system helps Justin overcome his ADHD-related challenges with consistent content creation. Watch the 5 minute Systems Segment on YouTube 2. ADHD and building systems He discusses how his ADHD has impacted his work and life, and the importance of building systems to compensate for his weaknesses. He shares how he discovered his ADHD in high school and has since developed many systems and routines, like dedicated weekly time with his wife and friends, to help him stay organized and productive. .4 Delegating and reviewing work We discuss the importance of delegating tasks that play to one's strengths, and the challenges of building effective review processes. Justin acknowledges that reviewing work is a weakness for him, and they explore strategies for finding the right people to handle that responsibility. 5. Celebrating wins and expressing gratitude The conversation turns to the importance of celebrating wins and expressing gratitude, which Justin has struggled with in the past. They discuss how Justin's entrepreneurial mindset and ADHD can make it difficult to pause and appreciate progress, and the value of building systems to ensure consistent recognition of achievements. 6. Mentors and lessons learned He reflects on a former boss, John Eilie, who provided him with significant grace and support early in his career as he learned to build systems and overcome the challenges of his ADHD. He expresses gratitude for John's patience and guidance, which laid the foundation for Justin's current success. Key Takeaways: Justin leverages his ADHD as a strength in entrepreneurship, developing systems to compensate for challenges.Delegation and building a supportive team are crucial for managing ADHD-related struggles in business.Self-awareness and open communication about work styles help improve leadership and team dynamics.Systematic review processes and celebration of wins are areas for potential improvement in Justin's business Learn more about Justin Vajko over at Dialog Video Marketing.

Building strong donor relationships goes beyond just securing gifts—it's about creating a meaningful feedback loop that fosters deeper, lasting connections. By listening to donors' perspectives, nonprofits can identify pain points, refine processes, and show that their voices matter. Randall also explores how this approach leads to better retention, upgraded gifts, and risk mitigation, all while building a culture of trust and genuine relationship-building.

There's a range of different interventions at your disposal when managing spine pain. Today we're focusing on spinal manipulative therapy, and asking questions like: does it matter how you apply a manipulation to get the best outcomes for the patient? Answering the questions is Dr Casper Nim from the University of Southern Denmark. Casper is an Associate Professor, chiropractor, and senior researcher at the Spine Centre of Southern Denmark. ------------------------------ RESOURCES Does it matter how you apply spinal manipulative therapy?

Early Detection and Early Intervention - where are we now (and what does the future hold)?The last time we had Alicia on the pod, we spoke about the Cochrane Review she led titled “Early developmental intervention programmes provided post hospital discharge to prevent motor and cognitive impairment in preterm infants” which was published in 2024. In this week's episode, we thought we'd ask Alicia about the state of early intervention right now and what the provision of therapy looks like within our current context of early detection and early intervention for children with cerebral palsy.There have been some rather significant developments in the early detection and early intervention space over the past 20 years. From the rapid technological advances to the value of co-design and involvement of people with lived experience, we now have some impressive evidence to guide our clinical pathways. However, what is very clear now is the vital importance of implementation. The industry has generated substantial knowledge that now needs to be implemented into practice with one particularly important aspect that we must include - family involvement and well-being. Alicia speaks ever so passionately about our role as therapists and I cannot help but to feel even more compelled to ensure that the family is at the centre of everything we do. It is exciting to know that we have the evidence now, so it's time to put it into practice and it can start in your very next session.https://findanexpert.unimelb.edu.au/profile/27041-alicia-spittle
Claudia Hilton, PhD, MBA, OTR, FAOTA, makes her debut on the Faculty Factory Podcast this week, sharing her journey into systematic reviews and emphasizing the value they provide in promoting critical thinking and research skills among students, learners, and early-career faculty. Dr. Hilton serves as Professor and Distinguished Teaching Professor at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) School of Health Professions in the Department of Occupational Therapy. Despite facing skepticism from peers about the practicality of systematic reviews with students, her persistence has led to the successful and innovative implementation of this approach over the years at UTMB. "I have had naysayers tell me that you can't do systematic reviews with students. However, we have already published about 20 of them. So I say, yes, we can, but there are certain things you need to consider to make it successful," Dr. Hilton said. Through Dr. Hilton's enthusiasm we celebrate the use of systematic reviews amongst learners in academia! We encourage listeners to consider integrating similar collaborative approaches in their own institutions. You can email Dr. Hilton to learn more: clhilton@UTMB.EDU.

Die Hälfte der Menschheit hat keinen Zugang zu sicherer, sauberer Sanitärversorgung. Doch Wasserklosetts sind nicht die Lösung. Wie also müssen wir umdenken? Unsere Autorin Lena Bodewein hat als Korrespondentin in Südostasien an vielen Orten gesehen, was für Auswirkungen eine mangelnde Sanitärversorgung hat: Ohne Toiletten können sich Infektionskrankheiten verbreiten - 800 Kinder unter fünf Jahren sterben täglich an Durchfallerkrankungen. Aber auch Antibiotikaresistenzen spielen eine Rolle, Frauen sind mehr Gewaltverbrechen ausgesetzt, Mädchen gehen oft nicht zur Schule. Im Gespräch mit Host Lucie Kluth erklärt Lena, warum Forschende sich mit dem Problem auch kulturell beschäftigen und was für ungewohnte Lösungsansätze es gibt. Denn unser Abwasserkonzept lässt sich nicht einfach auf den globalen Süden übertragen, viel zu viel Trinkwasser wird dabei vergeudet. Die Recherche für diesen Podcast führt uns an Orte, die besser riechen als gedacht, zu Technologien, die Namen von Popstars tragen - und Unternehmern, die Kalauer lieben. HINTERGRUNDINFORMATIONEN: 1.

But standing out isn't about spending more money or shouting louder—it's about doing something truly different.” – Billy [02:55] “Instead of playing it safe, instead of doing what you think you're supposed to do, we're going to talk about how you actually stand out.” – Billy [10:49] “AI can be competent, but it can't create human connection. If you're just competent, you're vulnerable—because competent is ignorable.” – Mark Schaefer [37:09] “Word of mouth marketing is the most powerful form of marketing, yet most brands don't have a system for it. It's time to change that.” – Mark Schaefer [44:37] “The best marketing isn't just seen—it's experienced. People remember the emotions, the moments, and the stories, not just the ads.” – Mark Schaefer Resources and Links Mark Schaefer Website Audacious: How Humans Win in an AI Marketing World The Marketing Companion Billy Samoa Facebook X (formerly Twitter) Instagram LinkedIn YouTube Learn more about your ad choices.
