Background to this recoverd episode: 

We launched our podcast during the pandemic and through now almost 100 episodes, several of our best episodes were 'lost' when the RSS feed didn't fully transfer with a hosting provider change.

Until now! David has found the backups by restoring and old hard drive while completing his book. We'll be posting the other lost episodes between new releases so our tally is accurate at 100 when we sunset the pod (or do we?)

Either way, listening back on this rewind it was fun to hear how far we've come in our post production, and it is a nice gesture to offer these missing episdes back to our library as we start to close out the show by bringing back guest interviews that were once lost.  Enjoy! 

Chime in and let us know in the link at the top of this episode.

Episode Guest: Dr. Carolyn Brown, Founder of StrokeOT.org
