I kind of going along what you said with like the knee replacement episodes, the most powerful episodes I think were the ones where we had people who experienced certain health situations on the show. So for example, we had a couple of diabetes episodes where we spoke with people who had diabetes. And we also had one with the stroke episode too.

I think those episodes are really powerful for people to hear from people with those very intimate personal experiences.

I think that would be an amazing goal for 2024 to get a cannabis episode out. It's so prevalent. in the country, everybody's talking about it. Lots more states are legalizing it. And we attempted to enter that arena and we've kind of slowly kind of put it on the back burner.

So maybe a goal for Health Chatter 2024 would be to revisit that and put out a real solid episode discussing both sides of it. Maybe even a debate style episode could be really interesting.

I have two that really hit home for me. The first one that came to mind was the health and fitness episode with Jen Walter. There were a ton of things that we touched on in that episode, but we really drove home on community. And I think that in our podcast, that's a theme that is kind of overarching a lot of the time. So it was really great to bring that back to something like health and fitness.

It's really important to me. And then the other episode that really stood out to me, I'm was the episode with Senator Marty and the healthcare for all episode. That's just always such an uplifting thing for me to talk about and how advocacy and policy play into public health and equal access and healthcare as a human right is a theme that we really drive home with too.
