Surfing NASH celebrates its 3rd anniversary since the debut episode posted on April 15, 2020. The Big Band of Stephen Harrison, Jörn Schattenberg, Louise Campbell and Roger Green get together to reflect on key moments from the podcast’s history as well as predict milestones that will make the highlights in a 6th anniversary special three years into the future.
This initial conversation begins by catching up with Stephen as he provides a crash-course on the myriad of activities that have kept him busy since last appearing on the podcast. He talks about working on improving the ways in which we enroll for clinical trials and addressing screen fail rates. Stephen goes on to describe “focusing diligently on efforts with digital pathology to bridge the gap between ordinal path reading and noninvasive testing reading.” He notes the ability of the various consortia in driving the paradigm forward on diagnosis, monitoring, response to therapy and predicting long term outcomes using noninvasive testing strategy.
Later on, Roger cues a throwback to the original Surfing NASH introduction which kicked off some of the earlier episodes. It’s evident that the program has come a long way not only in its production, but also in discourse as the field progresses with time. This leads the group to reminisce on some of the bolder moments in the podcast’s history.
