About this episode

Bill Moran shares personal experiences with stress and health issues while recounting a family story involving an FCC complaint.

Bill opens up about a health issue he's been dealing with, discusses how stress may be playing a role, and shares some of the challenges he's facing that he chooses not to discuss publicly out of respect for the people involved. Along the way, he tells the absolutely true story of the time his father was so upset about something Bill revealed on the radio that he actually filed a complaint with the FCC. Bill also wonders why doctors seem perfectly comfortable sending terrifying test results directly to your phone before anyone explains what they mean, shares how he handles those moments, and offers practical strategies that may help all of us manage stress a little better.
