Episode Details

Welcome to the podcast! In this episode, my co-host and I get into a passionate generational debate about the season two finale of the hit TV show The Pitt. We discuss Noah Wyle's complex character, Dr. Robbie, and his intense struggles with compassion fatigue. Is his behavior toward his coworkers an understandable reaction to stress, or are younger generations right to demand better workplace boundaries?

We compare our very different generational perspectives on apologies, making amends, and accountability in high-stress environments. It is a fascinating look at how different age groups consume media and view professional relationships. Plus, we share some fun, lighthearted media recommendations to clear the palette, including the new ABC mystery show High Potential and a few great fiction reads.
