Season 3 is dropping soon! New episodes every other Tuesday.

Mark’s been thinking a lot about interpersonal relationships, and that includes those between the different medications in your body! Listen in as Mark tells Mike, Ben, and Andrew all about how some medications can affect each other when taken at the same time. Is taking multiple medications dangerous (usually not), is it safe (usually yes, but ask your doctor first), or is it something in between!? Join us this week to find out!

Mike’s back at it again with his prostate! He has news, and he’s going to update Mark, Ben, and Andrew whether they want him to or not! Luckily, Mike also brought a spicy topic to discuss, point of care testing and treatment within community pharmacies. Join the gang as they look at the future of services you can expect to receive at a pharmacy in the near future (or even today!).

We’ve all heard of these new-fangled Chat AI programs such as ChatGPT, and Mike, Mark, and Andrew all fear they will soon be replaced by robots. Leave it to Ben, who actually understands computers, to dive into this question without trepidation! Join the gang as they chat about how these chat AI programs work and whether we can rely on them to answer our medical quandaries.

Welcome back to part 2 of our series on the opioid epidemic. In the first episode, special guest Sam, Ben, and Mike discussed the history of the opioid epidemic in the United States. This episode focuses on the repercussions of the opioid crisis but also ends with a look at all the great work that is being done to help those affected by it.

Mike and Andrew cracked a hare-brained scheme to walk around a college campus and ask students what medical questions they’ve always wondered about. This episode is the result of that moment of brilliance. Join the squad as they seek to answer those questions. How much sleep do I really need? Will cracking my knuckles cause arthritis? What is the truth behind the 5-second rule?

Today, we’re talking about a topic so big that we couldn’t fit it in a single episode...the Opioid Epidemic. This week, in part 1, join Ben and Mike as they talk with special guest Dr. Samantha Patton, pain management pharmacist extraordinaire, as they explore the history of the opioid crisis. By understanding where we came from, we can hopefully identify the best path forward!

Mike and Mark are back talking about everybody’s favorite topic, viruses! While most viruses like influenza and COVID-19 get most of the attention, the impact of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is being recognized. Join us this week at the deli as the gang talks about RSV and new vaccines against this important virus.

Mark and Mike are back in the deli with two special guests, Emily Mackler, and Colton Zwart, both are cancer pharmacists, and lead the gang as they talk about “POEM”, a program designed to improve care for patients with cancer, and “BiTE”, a new treatment that is still being researched but could completely revolutionize the way cancer is treated!
