Wednesday’s episode of The Four Hundred & Nineteen is Wellness Wednesday presented by Workspring, with an honest, practical conversation focused on preventative health care, regular screenings, and advocating for your own well-being. The show opens with Paige Johnston from WorkSpring, who breaks down why so many adults fall behind on routine screenings—and how individuals and employers can remove barriers, improve access, and build healthier habits over time.

The episode features a powerful and deeply personal conversation with Willie Perryman, who shares his own health journey following a prostate cancer diagnosis. Reverend Perryman speaks candidly about early detection, the importance of regular screenings—particularly for African American men—and the role faith, family, and community support played in his recovery. His story underscores a central theme of the episode: screening saves lives, and self-advocacy matters.

The show also welcomes Riley Runnels of WGTE Public Media, who brings energy and perspective to the conversation while sharing insight into storytelling, local media, and the importance of amplifying community voices.

Together, this Wellness Wednesday episode blends expert guidance, lived experience, and meaningful dialogue—offering listeners practical takeaways and a strong reminder to prioritize health before small issues become big ones.
