Good Trouble is Vital
This episode with Dr Gabe Bosslet is an excellent example of how busy professionals can come together to create the change they know we need. It’s a frank discussion about moving from social media “warriors” to actual advocates and activists. Well done. I’d like Dr B to come back on ETS after the midterms for further discussion about results and future plans. Thank you both!

Excellent and candid discussion on the first rollout of the vaccine. Critical information that gave me great food for thought while I discuss and help prepare my elderly mother for her vaccine in months to come. Very appreciated!

Refreshing and invigorating
High level candid discussions with leaders in the medical space, which is vast and incredibly diverse. Dr. Shapiro is an amazing host, and his conversations with his guests could be easily featured on NPR or any major platform. They're that great! Congratulations on 5 years! As a current resident, I'm excited to keep tuning in as you continue to celebrate the diversity of "the space".

Absolutely amazing podcast
As a physician (though you certainly don’t need to be one to appreciate this show), this show truly explores the space within which and around which I work and brings to light and discusses many important issues relating to healthcare in the US.

Transformational!! 🙌
This is an incredible podcast that's become a platform for truly understanding what healthcare is, isn't and should be from the perspective of leaders actually in the trenches doing the work. Dr. Mark and his team do a phenomenal job identifying guests and topics that consistently expand our traditional view of healthcare and shine a light on how it touches other fundamental elements of the human experience. Highly recommend listening and subscribing to Explore the Space today!

Who’s who of medicine at large
This podcast is fantastic. Every single guest was or has become one of my favorite social media personalities from an incredibly diverse number of backgrounds. Topics include public health, medicine culture, artificial intelligence, health disparities, EMR, and the list goes on. Highly recommended for anyone with even a tangential interest in medicine.

Great Conversational Spot for Doctors & Non-Doctors
I love the content especially topics from and about physicians not just being a physician, but being a 'real person". Great podcast is the one of Dr. G's experience being a resident turned heart transplant patient turned into an even better doctor.

Love this content
As a student entering medical school, I love hearing physicians being vulnerable and informative with one another. This platform for honest collaboration in their field is so encouraging as I start my journey.
Dr Shapiro is great on twitter too - just a bonus! :)

Smarts in a time of ignorance
I love listening to conversations between smart, thoughtful people. It's a particular balm in this time of ignorance. Mark is funny, curious, and endlessly enthusiastic. I highly recommend the episodes about the CA wildfires, the gun control episode with Mary Brandt, and the fantastic interview with Mark's charming physician father. This isn't just for "doctors". You will learn stuff about the medical field, yes, but this show is for everyone.

Hooked
What a delightful podcast to be introduced to. As a medical social worker I am thoroughly enjoying the relevant, thought provoking and enlightened conversations taking place between Dr. Shapiro and his guests. Dr. Shapiro’s curiosity is infectious and the topics are so relative to our society whether you are in the healthcare field or not. I’m hooked!

Terrific podcast
Dr. Shapiro, the host of Explore the Space, highlights wonderful and relevant topics related to various aspects of healthcare (e.g., education, illness, leadership). His guests are superstars. His interview style is natural. I recently listened to his interview of Gurpreet Dhaliwal, MD, The Sherlock Holmes of Medicine. It was enjoyable, insightful, and funny. I cannot wait to listen to his earlier episodes (e.g., the curbsiders). His podcast is relevant to anyone in the healthcare field. Two thumbs up for sure!!

This is a really great site. Mark Shapiro has the uncanny ability to zero in on the meat. Bam, and he’s on it. No 3 hour schmooze fest.

Shapiro does a wonderful job of bringing you into the room and connecting you with a wide range of interesting people. The experience is an intimate, yet highly approachable, dive into how aspects of our humanness intersect with the field of medicine. Highly recommended.

Topically A+, but screeching birds
Topically this podcast is extremely well done and has great guests and well conducted interviews. I had to stop listening though because the screeching birds in the background of the interviewer was too loud and difficult to ignore.
