Mike Wade's Six-Month Journey with Dissect & Connect
Hosting and producing this podcast has been a bit of a challenge...without the access to technology, I wouldn't have been able to interview Beth Macy from her home in Roanoke or do an interview with representatives from The American Association of suicidology- one in Chicago and one in Washington d c- at the same time, without zoom.
Ever wondered what it takes to keep a podcast going strong during a pandemic? In this episode of Dissect & Connect, Mike Wade shares his reflections on his first six months as the host. With a focus on mental health and addiction, Wade navigates the challenges of virtual interviews and remote recording, making sure the show continues to resonate with its audience.
He opens up about the benefits of technology in connecting with guests from all over the country, offering a silver lining to the otherwise difficult times. Wade also emphasizes the importance of community involvement and invites listeners to submit their own ideas for future episodes. Upcoming topics promise to be just as engaging, covering issues like hepatitis C, hospice care, peer support services, breast cancer, and the impact of miscarriage.
Throughout the episode, Wade underscores the necessity of self-care and taking proactive steps for both personal and community well-being. If you're looking for a podcast that not only informs but also connects you to vital health resources, this episode is a must-listen.
