The JimJam travels to Seattle to interview Tony Back MD, Director of Palliative Care at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance and Professor of Medicine/Oncology at the University of Washington. Tony has done some very interesting research relating to patient/physician communication, medical provider burnout and depression and the use of psilocybin in treatment. He has also used psilocybin in the treatment of depression in stage 4 cancer patients. We think you will enjoy these topics in discussion.

The Jim Jam spent some time, recently, with Jack Meteyer. Jack is 97 years old and has led an amazing life. Plucked from an orphanage at age 5 by the Meteyer family, Jack grew up in Massachusetts. He joined the army at age 18 and soon joined the Air Corp. Jack had a 30 year career in the military and then a 20 year career at Boeing. Jack shares many of is life stories with us. We hope you enjoy his journey.

The JimJam welcomes Will Graham, a resident of Olympia sine the 1973. Will has had an extraordinary life beginning with his upbringing in what was the Panama Canal Zone. Will shares his adventures in his life and what he has been doing in retirement. Specifically, Will shares his challenges stemming from the loss of his wife, Denise, in retirement, and how he navigated the changes that occur when such a life event happens. Loss of a spouse is something most of us will experience and we feel Will sharing his experience can provide insight for all of us. We are grateful for Will and his openness with his struggles and eventual happy transition to a new life.
