Pharmacist wishes for the new year and some pharmacy trivia from a beloved holiday film.

Listen here or where you enjoy podcasts!

We apologize for the hiatus! Things have been busy the last few months, both personally and professionally.

Now that everything is slowing down for the holidays, it's a perfect time to touch base and let you all know that we're still here and that we have new episodes in the works for 2026.

Speaking of the new year, Chris takes a moment to share his personal pharmacist wish list for 2026. (New GLP1 approvals! Interchangable biologics! No more drug shortages! And more!)

And if you're a fan of "It's a Wonderful Life", you'll definitely want to hear about the pharmacy trivia tidbit that Chris discovered in this all-time Christmas classic. What was the "poison" that Mr. Gower almost gave to a patient?

Thanks for listening! Wishing all a most Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
