Moral Matters

Season Finale | S8 : E11 | Bye - for now - and Hello to 43cc.

Our season wraps up with Simon and Wendy discussing the whole experience of producing the 8 seasons of Moral Matters. We highlight excerpts from just a few of the amazing conversations we've had over the last four years: Jeremy Muller, Joe Crane, Blake Alkire, Rosemary Batt, Thom Mayer, Adam Beckman, Walter O'Donnell, L. Robert Burns, Ilana Yurkiewicz, and Luke Messac. We close with a teaser from 43cc, a new podcast co-hosted by Wendy Dean and Matt Ramsey that takes an irreverent look at healthcare, with a shot to dull the pain.
