This is PediCast.

Welcome to Pediacast, a pediatric podcast for parents.

And now, direct from the campus of nationwide children's, here is your host, Dr. Mike.

Hello, everyone, and welcome.

Once again to Pediacast, it's a pediatric podcast for moms and dads.

This is Dr. Mike, coming to you from the campus of

nationwide children's hospital. It's episode 400 for April 11th, 2018. We're calling this one

fatherly stress, hoverboards, and teen drivers. I want to welcome you to the program. We are back

this week with more news parents

can use, and we have topics this time around that span all the age ranges in pediatrics.

Whether you're planning on starting a family or your youngest child is a teenage driver.

Maybe you have kids somewhere between those two extremes. You probably do. Be assured,

we have something for everyone this week. So stick around, and I'll get to the entire lineup in a moment.

Give you a sneak peek of all of our topics. First, though, I'd like to take a moment to dedicate this 400th

episode of Pedia cast to my mother, Mary Sue Potts.

You know, I've not dedicated a particular episode to a specific person in the past.

But reaching the 400 episode milestone, it's a pretty big deal in the podcasting world.

I've been around since 2006, sort of right at the dawn of podcasting, and is still going

strong. And my mother has always been a big fan of the program. You know, she encouraged me to

keep at it. She listened to it. She critiqued it. Offered suggestions for Pediacast. And she shared the

show proudly with just about everyone she came into contact with, whether they had kids or not, because she figured everyone at least knows someone with kids.

So by sharing the show, the hope was that person would raise awareness with those who really needed to hear and know about these things.
