This month's episode is all about COPD, and I am joined by the brilliantly intelligent Professor Alice Turner. Her knowledge of the research in this field is remarkably in-depth, yet she is generous with her experience and answers the questions you want to ask but may not feel comfortable exposing the chasms in your knowledge like I did! 40 minute podcast, strap in for a detailed, transformative and revelatory podcast with an international COPD leader.
