About the Podcast
Most anesthesia podcasts are either clinical teaching or polite leadership talk. About the Rest is neither. This is the first, best, and only destination to hear operators at the top of their game share what's usually only discussed at dinner or behind closed doors. With real insights, Joe and his round table hit on how groups really make money or don't, how hospital deals get structured, why subsidies keep climbing, what separates a holding company from private equity, and what it takes to build leadership that holds up.
Twice a month, host Joe Rodriguez, DNAP, CRNA, one of the most recognized CRNAs in the country and former co-host of the award-winning Anesthesia Deconstructed, is joined by recurring voice Randy Moore, DNP, MBA, CRNA, and a rotating third seat from the field. Operators who run things, taking real positions and disagreeing on air, gracefully but meaningfully. No consultants, no abstracts, no LinkedIn voice. Who’s at the table?
Anesthesia group operators and practice owners
Group and department leaders
Clinical and business decision-makers
High-earning CRNAs and physician anesthesiologists
Influence-seeking, career-minded professionals moving into leadership
If it is in the public record, it is on the table: announcements, policy changes, lawsuits, the big RFP nobody will explain, the conference moment everyone clocked. Opinion and commentary, their own views only, and the private stuff stays private.
WHY ADVERTISE WITH US?
You are not buying reach. You are buying the trust of the people who sign the checks in anesthesia.
About the Rest is built around a premium, hyper-niche audience, which is why it is priced on custom episodic packages rather than standard CPMs. Nearly every listener is a potential buyer or referrer: the operators and leaders who decide on staffing, billing, insurance, software, and the partnerships that keep an anesthesia practice running.
What that means for a sponsor:
Precision over volume. One concentrated audience of decision-makers beats a broad audience of bystanders.
Borrowed trust. The hosts take real positions, and the audience listens because of it. Adjacency to that credibility carries weight no banner ad can buy.
Built for B2B in anesthesia. If you sell to anesthesia groups, this is the room: staffing and locums, RCM and billing, professional liability, practice management and scheduling, recruiting, CME, physician financial services, contract and legal services, devices and monitoring.
Right next to the news your buyers care about. When the show breaks down an FTC settlement, a non-compete ruling, or how a deal got structured, your category is already on the listener's mind.
Multi-format inventory. Simulcast across audio and video supports host-read spots and integrated segments, not just a single drop-in.
A host with carryover. Joe brings an established following from Anesthesia Deconstructed into a show purpose-built for this audience.
Audience Details
About the Rest reaches the room where anesthesia's money decisions get made. Not students, not casual listeners. The operators, owners, and leaders who sign the contracts, choose the vendors, and set direction for their groups and departments.
Position: Anesthesia owners and executives, group and department leaders, CRNAs, MD/DO anesthesiologists, OR-based clinicians
Mindset: Business, leverage, and leadership focused, not seeking clinical CME
Income: High earners, top brackets
Geography: US-primary
Profile: A small, premium, hyper-targeted audience that trusts the hosts' judgment
Host | Chief Growth Officer, Guide Anesthesia
Joe Rodriguez, DNAP, CRNA
Joseph A. Rodriguez is one of the most recognized CRNAs in the country and newly elected Treasurer of the American Association of Nurse Anesthesiology. As Chief Growth Officer at Guide Anesthesia, he has spent years at the intersection of clinical practice, contract strategy, and business development across every anesthesia model.
A former co-host of the award-winning Anesthesia Deconstructed, Joe built a following for commentary that is humorous, candid, and unapologetically value-minded. With About the Rest, he goes further: the money, the politics, the deal structures, and the leadership truths that training never covers and most people won't say in public.
