Whew, what a year this has been! I’m entirely grateful we got through it together. And now, we get to look back and see where we’ve been, including the episodes of 10 Minutes to Better Patient Communication that you engaged with the most.
Our 2025 countdown reflects a mix of listening, engagement, and how these episodes shaped the show this year. The list is based on a combination of platform analytics, listener engagement, and response after release.
Interviews really drove our biggest moments this year, so let’s dig in!
5. Joe Liebel on Emotional Intelligence and workplace communication
Episode 200 was our most listened-to episode of the year on Apple Podcasts. Go Joe!
4. Dr. Tim Gilligan on how the system gets in the way of patient care, Part 1
Dr. Gilligan’s recent interview was a standout episode based on both listener response and platform data.
The monologue episode that stood out, and I’m so glad it resonated.
2. Dr. Ayo Olagoke on using AI in health communication
This was one of those rare episodes that showed up everywhere: strong listening on Apple Podcasts and a noticeable spike in site traffic and reading time after it went live.
1. Dr. Renata Schiavo on the science of trust, Part 1
This episode was our most talked-about release of the year. It truly changed how I thought about the show, and it drew a lot of new listeners. That momentum carried through the rest of 2025
