Casting Orthopod Announcement
<p>Hey everyone! Our last episode with Dr. Goel was one of the last pre-recorded episodes we had. With the ending of several sponsorship contracts, and new responsibilities in the hospital, I'm taking a short hiatus. This will allow me to brainstorm new topics, find new people to interview, and get Casting back to the high quality show that I wanted it to be. Feel free to e-mail with suggestions, introductions, and ideas at castingorthopod@gmail.com! Cheers!</p>
