We said in the pilot that this podcast was going to be sensible and playful.

This week is your dose of the latter as Karen and I share our reflections and actionable takeaways from Episode 2 on Bone Health and Bogus Research with Dr Ian Varley.

In most cases podcasts follow the same format. Hosts invite guests on and their job is to extract as much useful and valuable information for the audience as possible.

When we’re dealing with complex subjects or matters of scientific explanation, the episodes can get pretty detailed. As such there isn’t a lot of time for…let’s call it ‘entertainment’.

So to provide a different take, we thought we’d do an unscripted, off the cuff debrief. No collaborative planning and absolutely no sharing of notes prior to hitting record.

We hope it brings a smile to your day.
