With Gratitude, Matt
Gratitude—the profound sense of thankfulness—often emerges from recognizing the blessings, privileges, or serendipities life bestows. While a diagnosis like cancer is rarely seen as a cause for gratitude, Matt Moran felt otherwise. His battle with kidney cancer inspired him to launch this podcast in 2020, a platform where life lessons, faith, and resilience shine through adversity. Every episode shares stories of hope and determination, revealing how gratitude can guide us through life’s toughest challenges. Following Matt’s passing in 2023, his older brother, Bill, stepped in to continue the mission, ensuring the podcast remains a beacon of inspiration. Together, the Moran brothers’ legacy encourages us all to embrace life’s journey with faith, hope, and a grateful heart.

Fighting Cancer with the Right Team, with Dr. Bradley McGregor
March is Kidney Cancer Awareness Month, spotlighting a disease which is among the 10 most common cancers for men and women in the United States. Dr. Bradley McGregor, one of the doctors on the forefront of finding ways to fight and manage kidney cancer, sees March as a great opportunity to bring more attention to the research needed to find more effective treatment options. Dr. McGregor is a Medical Oncologist specializing in genitourinary malignancies at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and serves as part of Matt’s team of doctors fighting his cancer. His education at Tufts University and unique training while serving in the military have prepared well for the work he does with Matt’s clinical trial and with so many other patients. This is a great show for anyone who has been affected by any cancer and would like to learn more from one of the doctors on the front lines. Dr. McGregor talks about many of the advancements, how a trial works, future hopes for treating patients, and also his thoughts on connecting and caring for a patient. Sometimes this approach invites sparking the human spirit by wearing fun socks, laughing and just keeping perspective on the journey.
