Last episode 3 September 2026. Still going.

We worked that label out on 10 September 2026 from the date of the last episode in the feed. How we do it.

Hosted by Matt Hopcraft

Dental As Anything is a podcast to share insights and opinions on a wide range of topics related to dentistry (and beyond), exploring critical issues that affect oral health across the community. It is a valuable resource for dental professionals and anyone interested in the intersection of dentistry, public health and wellbeing. Hosted by Matt Hopcraft, dentist & public health academic.

Nobody starts with a number. We score a page once three independent sources back it up, and this one has 3. They are listed further down. The next scoring run is what turns them into a number.

a blank is honest. a zero would be a lie

Podcasts get the same two numbers as everybody else, worked out the same published way. That has not been run yet, so both read . We are never going to rank these shows on downloads, because nobody publishes a download figure we could check.
