Happy Thanksgiving, Our Upcoming Schedule, and Some Announcements
Happy Thanksgiving week! For all subscribers who are heading to the Greater New York Dental Meeting next weekend, I hope you enjoy the show. This week, today will be our only digest. We are going to hit the pause button on Wednesday and Friday as we celebrate Thanksgiving with our friends and families. The Dental Podcast Directory has grown so much over the past year, and I want to take a moment to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who shares what we do with the dental profession.
We Launched Our Episode Directory and it Looks Amazing!
On 11/22/25, I pushed our brand new episode directory live. The episode directory includes more than thirty thousand - that’s right 30,000 - unique podcast episodes in a searchable database. It’s an amazing resource for the dental profession and I couldn’t be more proud of the team for how it turned out. You can view the episode directory here: https://dentalpodcast.org/episode-directory/
Our Guest Directory Got a New Look!
In addition to the episode directory, we spent some time last week revamping the look and feel of our guest directory. We’re not quite done, but the new look of the guest directory is a major improvement. We’ll be working on an overhaul of the guest profile layouts next, and we’ll release those by the end of November. You can see the new look for the guest directory here: https://dentalpodcast.org/guest-directory/
If you have a guest profile on DentWoo, don’t worry, our team will be migrating our DentWoo profiles to the Dental Podcast Directory soon, and you’ll be grandfathered into the free tier forever.

This newsletter is also made possible by support from Provide CE, Embrasure Space, Dental Nachos, USA Dental Report, Dentist Job Connect, The Stress-Free Dentist, and the Dental Insurance Guy. Learn more about our sponsors here.
