Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hey, Family Secrets Family. I hope you're continuing to enjoy
revisiting some early episodes of the pod as much as
I am, and unpacking the themes and resonances of these
episodes with some of my favorite Great minds. So far,
we've had doctor galete Atlas talking with me about Bubby
and Zeta and Grandma and Pa from season three, Doctor

(00:24):
Mark Epstein and I discuss What's Wrong with Teddy also
from season three, and Chris Carr and I explore taxidermid
Duck from season six. I am amazed at the way
these stories feel as fresh and relevant today as they
did when I first recorded them, another indication that while
no two Family Secrets are exactly alike, they all share

(00:46):
a kind of commonality in their impact on us. For
our next Great Minds Bonus episode, and the last one
before we launched season nine, my guest will be doctor
Ruth Fadan. Doctor Fayden is the founder of the Johns
Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics, and she is the inaugural
Philip Franklin Waggley Professor of Biomedical Ethics at Johns Hopkins.

(01:11):
I asked doctor Phadon to listen to an episode from
way back in season two titled The Loving Choice. There
are some episodes that when I listen back, I remember
exactly where I was when we recorded them. I was
in person with my guest John Melman at a recording
studio in New York City, a conversation that has stayed
with me and made me think a great deal about

(01:33):
the secrets we keep in the name of love. I
hope you'll go back for next week and listen to
The Loving Choice in advance of my conversation with Doctor
Ruth Faith. And remember, we're hard at work on season nine,
which will drop in early November. Until then, I hope
you love these great minds conversations and sign them insightful
