Meet Your Hosts
Jon DeAngelis
LCAT, RDT, CP (Host)
When I completed my training several years ago I felt I knew only a portion of what I needed to know to be a good clinician. Even with good supervision and working in a supportive facility, I still thought I would learn the most by learning what my colleagues were doing, and how they were doing it. Since conferences are always helpful but are often infrequent - and before you know it they're over - I realized that podcast technology might be an ideal medium for connecting professionals in the field in a real and personal way. And so was born Drama Therapy Radio. I hope this project contributes to your professional growth and knowledge, and the enrichment and satisfaction of your practice – like I know it contributes to mine.
Jessica Elwart
LCAT, RDT (Host)
When I was little my dad won a big radio from his company Christmas party. I used it to “play radio” whenever I could. I would put on old records that were lying around and some of his old tapes and created a radio show. When podcasts came about it was a no-brainer for me to make one! My goal is to use my natural curiosity to talk with our colleagues and bring their work to you. I hope that through listening to these stories, you become inspired by what your fellow clinicians are doing and that you would be willing to share your story with us too.
