Oh what fun it is to see what you liked best this year! 2024 was a banner year at our podcast series 10 Minutes to Better Patient Communication. We had the most interviews we’ve ever had. This is such a treat for me, and the numbers show how much you loved hearing from our guests. And our show got ranked! Yes, we can now proudly say we were ranked #20 of the Top 100 Podcasts in the Social Sciences.
Here’s the Top 5 podcast episodes of 2024, as chosen by YOU.
