Still goingFree to claim

Last episode 28 October 2026. Still going.

We worked that label out on 8 November 2026 from the date of the last episode in the feed. How we do it.

Hosted by Dr. Erin Elliott and Jason Tierney

Sleep Matters is a mocktail of snarky honesty and straight talk in dental sleep medicine you’ve been looking for. We jump on the grenades most professionals avoid, from medical and dental turf wars and insurance headaches to calling out the latest industry “snake oil.” Sit down with movers, shakers, and iconoclasts as we dive into the clinical and political issues that keep dentists up at night. You’ll learn. You’ll laugh. And you’ll actually look forward to the next episode. SLEEP MATTERS

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.
