What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

NHPR really knocked it out of the park with this one. I had to move to North Carolina for different medical care to learn that I had a fist sized tumor on my kidney. I’m so happy to have such interesting, quality reporting to send to friends and family who still live in the area. One friend who lives in Merrimack, just decided to get water filtration in her home because of this. She has two babies. It shouldn’t have taken my cancer and this podcast for her to know she needed to.
