Dr. Anne Zink joins the Line One host roster by “listening loudly” to current and former hosts, and to Alaskans calling in. As public health leaders, there is a lot of answering questions, either to a specific patient, a reporter or to the public in general, but the greatest learning comes from listening and inviting conversation. On this Line One, Dr. Zink is joined by former host Dr. Jay Butler, and current hosts Dr. Justin Clark and Dr. Jillian Woodruff to discuss the history of Line One, some memorable shows and moments, and what Alaskans would like to hear more of in the future.
