    74 - You Have a Say in your Medication Experience - 12 Questions to ask at your next medical appointment. Hosted by Denise Schwartz and guest Jill Shuman

    You have a say when it comes to drugs you've been prescribed. So speak up. Ask questions. Don't be embarrassed. Know why a certain drug has been prescribed. Know if you'll have all those side effects you hear about on TV commercials. Know the risks and benefits of this drug. You must know as much you can about the meds you take because they only work as intended when used correctly. Here are 12 questions Shuman, a retired science writer who has worked alongside pharma companies most of her life, suggests you ask.

    73 - Come Along On The Journey Of That Little Pill You Take Every Day, From Its Inception In The Lab To Its Place In Your Medicine Cabinet, with host Denise Schwartz and guest Jill Shuman

    There is so much we don’t know about the medications we take as prescribed or that we purchase over the pharmacy’s counter. My guest today will take us on the journey a medication makes from its creation in the lab, through testing and regulation, and into the pharmacy where you pick it up and take it home. It is a journey that takes longer than you may think…and there will almost always be some side trips along the way.

    71 - A Lifetime of Admiration for a Legend: Gabe Temesvari on Connie Francis, with host Denise Schwartz

    On this episode of Backyard OASIS, Denise talks with Gabe Temesvari, who was a sub-teen in Ohio listening to American Bandstand when Dick Clark introduced a song by a girl with a voice both "plaintive and sincere." There began Gabe's lifetime admiration of Connie Francis, hailed as one of the top-charting female vocalists of the late 1950s and early 1960s and one of the best-selling music artists in history. Today Gabe tells us about the Connie Francis he knew as an artist who attained fame, endured tragedy and was guided by a belief that one has to “try and try again.” Be sure to subscribe to the Greenfield Community College Backyard OASIS Podcast and check back regularly for new episodes as well as other enriching GCC content!
