Every recovery has a story. If you’ve lived life after surgery — or you help people through it every day — Dr. Lanny Johnson wants to hear it, and so do our listeners.
Who we’re looking for
You don’t need to be famous or a medical expert. You need a story that could help someone facing what you faced.
Knee, hip, shoulder or spine — share what recovery was really like, what surprised you, and what got you through.
Talk candidly about the decisions, the outcomes and what you wish every patient knew before and after surgery.
Physical therapists, athletic trainers and coaches who rebuild strength and confidence one session at a time.
Pros, weekend warriors and active agers who came back from injury — and what it took.
How it works
Tell us about yourself and your story using the form below. It takes about five minutes.
If it’s a fit, we’ll set up a short call to get to know you and talk through the conversation.
Sit down with Dr. Johnson for a relaxed, unscripted conversation. We’ll share simple setup tips if you’re joining remotely.
We’ll let you know when your episode goes live and send you clips and links to share.

The best conversations come from honest stories — the hard days as much as the wins. Share as much or as little as you’re comfortable with; we’ll follow up with any questions.
FAQ

No. Guests share their own experiences and perspectives. Orthopodcast is educational and is not a substitute for advice from your own physician.
Yes. Most guests can join remotely with a laptop, a decent microphone or headset, and a quiet room. We’ll send simple setup tips before we record.
Plan for about an hour, including a few minutes to get settled before we start.
Absolutely — within reason. Conversations focus on your story and what listeners can learn, rather than promotion.
We keep applications on file and often reach out as we plan future episodes and themes.
