Danny O'Dwyer joins me for a conversation about the origins behind, reception to, and welcome challenges of his crowd-funded video game documentary series, Noclip. We also talk about Danny's process for preparing for a new shoot, his commitment to transparency, and the weird social dynamics of working from home. We end our chat with a brief discussion about the upcoming Formula 1 season, and appreciate how a podcast about speedy race cars can convert idle listeners into passionate racing fans.

This week, Emily Bradley and I catch up on her Physician's Assistant degree pursuit, her role at Science 37, and discuss the complex nature of disability and disclosure, especially in medical education. What can we learn from each other, how might we improve empathy among able-bodied groups and individuals, what does it mean to self-censor your online persona and hide aspects of your patient experience. While we weren't shy about asking a lot of tough questions, the answers are harder to come by.
