Tell Us More: The Palliative Care Oral History Project

As palliative specialists, we have a unique appreciation for the power of oral tradition-the stories of healing and suffering, challenge and accomplishment, and meaning and purpose that can be honored between us in safe and inclusive spaces. To this end, we take great pride in launching a new Journal of Palliative Medicine (JPM) podcast series, "Tell Us More: The Palliative Care Oral History Project." Each month, we will sit down with a pivotal leader from Hospice and Palliative Care (HAPC) and do what our field does best-ask questions, listen, and reflect. Through our podcast, we'll seek to understand the complexities and nuance behind our established practices and processes. Our interviews will be with pioneers from across HAPC's professions and around the world. By weaving their narratives together, we hope to create a tapestry of the history of HAPC to affirm our humanity, recognize our achievements, and sit in solidarity with our shared love for this work. Podcast episodes will release monthly. They will be uploaded to JPM's website and be available for download on major platforms. Each podcast will also have an accompanying online article, with a brief introduction to the guest's work and a transcript of the interview. Our debut episode is planned for summer 2025-stay tuned!
