NTM Talk Podcast: Bronchiectasis & NTM Lung Disease
Looking for a Trustworthy Podcast About Bronchiectasis and NTM Lung Disease?
If you haven’t discovered NTM Talk, you’re in for a treat.
Hosted by pulmonologist Dr. Colin Swenson and infectious disease specialist Dr. Wendi Drummond, NTM Talk offers evidence-informed conversations about bronchiectasis, NTM and MAC lung disease, airway clearance, treatment, and the many practical questions that come with living with chronic lung disease.
Two Medical Perspectives, One Great Conversation
One of the things I especially appreciate about NTM Talk is that you get the perspectives of two different medical specialties.
Bronchiectasis and NTM lung disease often require a team approach, and hearing a pulmonologist and an infectious disease physician discuss these topics together can help us better understand why certain tests are ordered, how treatment decisions are made, and how the different pieces of our care fit together.
And then there’s the chemistry between the hosts!
Their conversations are thoughtful and informative, but they’re also warm, natural, and relatable. It feels less like sitting through a medical lecture and more like listening in on a conversation between two knowledgeable physicians who genuinely care about helping people understand these complicated diseases.
So Many Important Topics
Over the seasons, Dr. Swenson and Dr. Drummond have tackled many of the questions that recur in our bronchiectasis and NTM community.
Episodes include:
And that’s only part of it.
You’ll also find interviews with many experts familiar to those of us in the bronchiectasis and NTM community, along with LOTS of questions answered along the way.
Learning That Fits Into Everyday Life
One of the things I love about podcasts is how easily they fit into our lives.
You can listen while walking, exercising, driving, doing airway clearance, relaxing, or simply taking a quiet moment for yourself.
When you’re living with bronchiectasis or NTM lung disease, there is so much to learn. Reliable, understandable information can help us become better-informed participants in our own care, and resources like NTM Talk make that information much more accessible.
