  • I’ve loved hearing you on the radio all these years.

    I hope listening to you here as a podcast will provide the support needed to keep your program strong. Our local PBS station has had to adjust what they’re airing because of budget cuts and they’ve decided to focus on more local programming, which I also understand and support. You guys have been the most informative medical program around all these years, so I’ll keep listening here. Thanks!

  • My favorite show

    I’m a long-time NPR listener and a local WESA contributor and fan. The People’s Pharmacy is relatively new to WESA, but in the couple years I’ve been listening, it quickly became my favorite. Very informative and love the hosts.
