Whelp, goodbye folks! Eric and I have been DOGE’d.

In a somewhat delayed April Fools, Nancy Lundebjerg and Annie Medina-Walpole have taken over podcast host duties this week.

Their purpose is to interview me, Eric, and Ken Covinsky about your final AGS literature review plenary session taking place at the Annual Meeting in Chicago this May (for those attending, our session is the plenary the morning of May 10). We discuss our favorite articles, parody songs, and memories from AGS meetings past, with a little preview of a song for this year’s meeting.

We covered:

The first parody song I wrote, for AGS 2018 in Orlando, about this article by Nancy Schoenborn on how to discuss stopping cancer screening.
Ken’s favorite articles, including

Eric’s favorite article on the effect of chair placement on physicians’ behavior and patients’ satisfaction
Tim Anderson’s study on the intensification of older adults’ outpatient blood pressure treatment at hospital discharge
Nancy’s favorite topic and parody song, Aducanumab, which won Drug of the Year in 2021.

Enjoy! And maybe, just maybe, Eric and I will be reinstated and return as hosts next week…
