Today we are joined by Dr. E. Lisako McKyer from Texas A&M.  Dr. McKyer is an expert in Health Promotion and Prevention and before you tune out, you should know that this is a kickin' podcast.  We cover a wide-range of issues including why Health Promotion is still relevant in our 'sickness medical model' and why Health Disparities research actually covers everyone.  We even talk about exercise and sports!  So give it a listen.

Have you ever thought about how technology is changing what we think is fact?  Joining us this week in the podcast is Dr. Robert Gold from the University of Maryland who is renowned for his work, research, and writings about the role of technology in Health and Science.  This is a great conversation about the stability of knowledge and what that implies for for our society, our future, and our education.

Today we are pleased to have Dr. William Hale from Prairie View A&M University in the podcast today.  We chat about elite cycling, stretch (and whether you should do it or not), and health disparities in cheerleaders.  It's a fun conversation!

Today we are pleased to have Dr. Noah Dean from Texas Lutheran University join us in the podcast today.  Noah has made a mission of exposing and educating the public about quacks and fraudulent health products that are on the market.  This is a fun conversation and greatly needed in today's consumer society. We also talk about Noah's experience as a stuntman on Friday Night Lights.

Join us today for a historic podcast with Mr. Jim Whitehead, Executive Vice President and CEO of the American College Sports Medicine, the world's largest professional organization devoted to Exercise and Sports Medicine.  Jim chats with us about the recent historic United Nations Health Summitt (only the second health summitt ever held at the U.N.) that focused on diseases caused by lifestyle issues.

If you knew exactly what sport you were best suited for, would you be interested.  Several companies claim that they can tell you what sport you would be best at.  Join us today as we talk to Dr. Steve Roth from the University of Maryland who is an expert on using genetics to select for sport.   We have a great conversation that is extremely relevant to sports science and if you are a parent with a child interested in sport, you'll want to hear this podcast.

One of the most difficult conversations we might have is how race plays a role in sport, so why not have the conversation?  Join us today as we chat with Dr. John Singer, a noted scholar on the role of race in sport.
