This is my Summer 2026 Update. I'm your host, Ohio pharmacist Kim Newlove. In this episode, I update you on my family, my business, my podcasts (both of them), and what I've been listening to, reading, watching, and playing.

In case you're new to the show, here's a little bit about me. I graduated from The University of Toledo College of Pharmacy with my BS Pharm in 2001. I have experience in hospital, retail, compounding, and behavioral health.

I'm not in clinical practice anymore. Some of my current job titles include

Voice Actor: medical narration and audiobooks
Podcast Host X 2 shows
Author - I wrote one book, and I'm working on a second one
Coach, Consultant, and Instructor - I primarily teach podcasting, audio engineering, audiobook narration, and drug pronunciations
Full-time caregiver for my adult son with autism.
