About Smarter Than Cancer

Is this a show about cancer? It absolutely is. But that makes it a show about so many things: science, health, human relationships, and spirituality. It’s a show of unsolved mysteries, and the frontiers of biochemistry, and strategies for living a healthier life, full of grace and purpose. Tune in twice a month to Smarter Than Cancer from Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center for interviews, conversations, and audio documentaries that explore every aspect of this complex and ubiquitous disease through the stories of some of the scientists and clinicians who are dedicated to moving us ever closer to a cure.

18. How Can We Take Care of Nurses?

Nurses are burning out, and not because they can’t handle the job. In this episode, David explores the mounting pressures facing nurses today, from chronic understaffing to a workplace culture that often treats emotional exhaustion as part of the job. With insights from Roswell Park’s Pamela Pichon (MS, BSN, RN) and Amy Gallagher (PsyD, MSHCT, Resiliency Program Leader), we look at what burnout actually feels like on the ground and what hospitals can do differently to better support the people holding the healthcare system together.

15. How Do We Reach Indigenous Communities?

What does it really mean to meet a community where they are? In this episode, David explores the nuances of community outreach in cancer care, and why a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t always work. Focusing on Indigenous communities in and around Buffalo, they speak with Dr. Rodney Herring and community outreach coordinator Will Maybee about the deep-rooted health disparities facing Native populations—and the historical trauma that helps explain them. From mistrust in the medical system to barriers in access and cultural understanding, they unpack the complex realities behind the data.

14. Who Is EDDY?

What if lifesaving cancer screenings could come directly to the people who need them most? In this episode, David and Hajar introduce us to EDDY — a mobile cancer screening unit bringing early detection to communities across Western New York. They talk about why lung cancer screening is so important, the stigma that still surrounds the disease, and how meeting people where they are can make all the difference. It’s an inspiring look at how innovation, outreach, and a big blue bus are helping make cancer care more accessible for everyone.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
