No matter what your take on the events that surround the whole covid situation, the one thing that everyone can agree on is that the landscape has drastically changed. For months we were forced into isolation with nothing more than a digital outreach to everyone around us. To say that it has altered a major component of our psyche would be a gross understatement. This week on The Malliard Report Jim welcomes back a fan favorite and show regular to discuss the new wave of upcoming “sociopaths.” This week features the one and only Rebecca Housel.

“Rebecca Housel, Ph.D., known as The Pop Culture Professor, is an international best-selling author and editor in nine languages and 100 countries. Rebecca, listed in the Directory of American Poets & Writers for her work in nonfiction, was nominated by Prevention magazine essayist and best-selling author of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, Rebecca Skloot, to the National Association of Science Writers for her work on cancer. Rebecca has published with best-selling author of The Accidental Buddhist, Dinty Moore's literary nonfiction journal, Brevity, and with commercial publications like Redbook magazine and online journals like In Media Res. Her recent interviews appear in publications such as the LA Times, Esquire, USA TODAY, The Huffington Post, Inside Higher Ed, Woman's World magazine, and Marie Claire as well as on FOX news, and NBC Dr. Housel currently works on the Editorial Advisory Boards for the Journal of Popular Culture and the Journal of American Culture; she has also worked as a reviewer for Syracuse University Press and Thomson Wadsworth. A writer of all genres, Housel has written and published both fiction and nonfiction in over ten books and 398 articles, essays, book chapters, book reviews, and encyclopedia entries.”

Dr. Housel stresses the importance of mental health and that we all should be aware for ourselves and those around us. We cannot express enough that you should never feel embarrassed or that you can’t reach out for help. There are always resources available and many people willing to provide them.

Unveiling the Secrets of a Pharmacist's World - The Malliard Report

It is a process that we have all encountered. You go to the doctor (which is already a pain in the butt to get into) go through whatever exam you have lined up, the doctor scribbles some illegible gibberish on a piece of paper and sends you to your local pharmacy. You know it will take a little bit of time, and your stomach is doing most of the talking right now, so you decide to grab a bite on the way over to the pharmacy. You grub your burger, pull into your local WalAideRiteGreens, meander to the back and queue up in the line. You finally get to the window, only to find out that your prescription isn’t ready yet. “HOW HARD CAN IT BE!? Just take the pills from the container, and put them in the bottle for me” you scream inside of your head. But, there is much more to it than just that. This week’s guest on The Malliard Report is here to dispel all the misconceptions of life in a pharmacy, discuss specialty medications, the opioid crisis, and much more. This week Jim welcomes pharmacists number 1 Fan & Advocate, and podcaster Todd Eury to the show.

“Pittsburgh native Todd Eury from Brownsville, Pennsylvania, started the first podcast about the profession of Pharmacy in 2009, and today, it’s the global leader in podcasting about the business and profession of the pharmacist. Todd Eury started the Pharmacy Podcast Network in March of 2009. Todd is the CEO of the Pharmacy Publishing Network, the parent publication of the Pharmacy Podcast Network. With the editorial, C.E. education support, and evidence-based podcasting divisions, Eury directs the leading audio publication in the Pharmacy Industry.”

Todd is an excellent guest, and does a great job at peeling the curtain back to what happens behind the scenes in the local pharmaceutical world. Todd’s take on certain issues in today’s time is certainly one worth noting. If you want to check out Todd’s podcast make sure to stop by pharmacypodcast.com where you can also join the “U.S. Pharmy.” For all things Malliard, head over to malliard.com where you can catch past shows, merch, the newsletter, and the weekly live chat every Tuesday at 9 PM EST.

Jim Malliard Features Christopher Olson on the Show

While Jim Malliard is the face (the voice?), lead researcher, booker and scout, web developer, marketing strategist, merchandise design, and countless other roles, he does also have a small team that...well, really doesn’t do much more than send nonsensical texts, and call in and harass him during live call shows. This week Jim begrudgingly welcomes one of these individuals to the show to discuss a smattering of random topics. This week Jim features Christopher Olson to the show.

Chris...me...the person writing this right now...has been a part of the show for a number of years now. Forget the fourth wall for a bit. I’m just going to write to you dear reader and listener as if we were sitting across from each other over a cup of coffee. As many of you know, I help Jim with the show notes and some behind the scenes producer stuff. I’ve had the pleasure of calling Jim a friend for quite some time. I love the paranormal, conspiracies, music, food, and coffee. I’ve been a musician for a majority of my life, enjoy conducting ITC sessions at known paranormal locations, shooting pictures of my surroundings and everyday life, and yelling at my tv at choking sports teams.

If you find yourself at all interested in my ventures, feel free to check them out. You can find my music on all platforms (Spotify/Apple/etc.) under the name inheritance. If you want to check out some of my ITC session, stop by my YouTube channel here: www.youtube.com/channel/UC_6_uZuFB2AbkA0o8HjBaSQ or just follow me on Instagram @cristoforo_son_of_ol .
