For this flashback episode, I sat down with Leiza O'Neil of Howard University's School of Medicine.  She is a professional with nearly thirty years of experience.  She is planning to release a book titled, "The Nuances of Medical School," in which she provides an honest and in-depth look at medical school.  The sorts of things you won't find through a simple web search.  

She is looking to educate our next generation of aspiring medical professionals and better prepare them for the challenges they may face and resources they may not have known were available to help them succeed.

For this flashback episode, Clinical Psychologist, Dr. Liner is back, but two others are added to the conversation this time.  This  episode is an open, honest conversation about relationships and dating in the present day from multiple perspectives.

This flashback episode goes back to season one, when I reached out across the pond to talk to Hannah Lemon.  Hannah is a graduate of Saint Andrews University and works for Edinburgh University in the field of wildlife biology in the U.K.  Our talk touched on areas from her current work in the field, to modern conservation efforts, to climate change.  This episode was not very political in nature, but more based around science.

For this flashback episode, we go back to season 2, when I sat down with Clinical Psychologist, Dr. Andrea Liner, to talk about dating and relationships in today’s world.  What makes a healthy relationship today?  What are some red flags to watch out for?  And how can we recognize certain patterns we find ourselves drawn to in relationships?  All this and more are discussed.  Give it a listen.

For this flashback episode went back to when I sat down with Beth Rondeau-Deacon.  Beth has been teaching mathematics for nearly 30 years.  Some of that time was spent teaching prisoners in a maximum security penitentiary.  She wrote a book about these and more incredible experiences, titled, "7 Doors In."  It has been a very successful read, currently optioned to be made into a feature film.

Today’s flashback episode is from back in Season One. I sat down with the Owner of Bonvoyage_Babes travel blog, Tatum Skipper.  Tatum amassed an impressive social media presence in a rather short amount of time, with over 30,000 Instagram followers and counting.  She’s been using her growing influence to make a positive difference in people's lives through travel, focusing on helping people overcome their greatest fears and challenges, she is changing the way we think of travel.

Also, Tatum has a podcast titled, 20 Till Takeoff, where she chats with people who have overcome adversity and changed their lives through travel.  Available on Apple, Google, Pandora, etc.

Today's flashback episode takes us way back to season one, when I was honored to sit down with Dr. William Unger for a conversation about PTSD and similar trauma.  Dr. Unger works for the Providence VA Health Care System in the Trauma Recovery Service.  He's worked there for 32 years.  He's also a VA consultant and trainer for Cognitive Behavioral Conjoint Psychotherapy for PTSD and an Associate Clinical Professor at Brown University.

Dr. Unger has also served as the PTSD Clinic Clinical Director for 8 years and as the Chief of the PTSD Clinic for 16 years.

For today's flashback episode, we go back to when  I was joined again by Professor Gobeille of the University of Rhode Island to talk more things physics.  This time we covered nuclear energy.  Is it safe?  Is it dangerous?  If a nuclear power plant were attacked with conventional weapons, would we be safe?  Also, what is radiation?  What is nuclear radiation?  These terms tend to evoke fear from many and I think it's time we clear the air about what these things are and what they are not.

Today's episode was the final in my three-part series with Rev. Dr. Hall.  This time we got into a rather hot button topic, how the LGBTQ community factors into the Church and how this community is viewed within much of the Christian faith, and the effects these views have had on this community.  Further, we went in pretty deep talking about where the Church really stands today in terms of its relevancy and where the Bible stands.  It's an inciteful, sometimes funny, sometimes heartbreaking conversation.  Give it a listen.
