    Apr 29 2024

    We're back, and with a special guest! Our oldest daughter, Bel, joins us on this episode to talk through her senior thesis on genetic therapy. She would love any feedback you have (through instagram is probably easiest) as she prepares to turn in final edits!

    Issue #20 - Big Pharma
    Jul 27 2022

    After a very long absence, we're back! It won't take you long to note that this was actually recorded back in the spring and it's not so much that we have been MIA as it is that it's just taken forever to get it edited and uploaded.
    .
    In this episode we talk Big Pharma, prescription discount programs, insulin & inhalers, our own experience with costly medications during pregnancy, and what is behind the crazy prices for some of our most widely used and necessary medications.

    Issue #19 - Exemption Denied
    Mar 16 2022

    We're a whole TWO MONTHS late in uploading this episode, but it's an important update that we need to give before moving forward. As the title suggests, Andrew's exemption was rescinded and he was fired from the hospital that he's worked at for almost 8 years because he refused to get vaccinated or undergo weekly testing (which only the unvaccinated were subject to, btw). We also talk about scotch, giving thanks, fighting dragons, singing Psalms, and Knight's Fest!
