Dr. Miller (my father-in-law, so dinner conversations can get very clinical) breaks down the germy jargon, while I, Jonathan, ask the awkward questions you wish someone else would. Our shtick? A curious son-in-law and a seasoned doc—somehow, it works.

And yes, that is us at my wedding. Did we photoshop in a mic, chairs, and podcast notes... absolutely. This will have to do until we get a real photo done.
