Orthopodcast is a conversation between surgeons. If you’re an orthopedic surgeon with cases, innovations or career lessons worth passing on, Lanny Johnson, M.D. wants to sit down with you.
Who we’re looking for
Guests are orthopedic surgeons — any subspecialty, any stage of career. What matters is experience worth sharing with colleagues and the patients who listen.
Sports medicine, joint replacement, spine, trauma, hand, foot & ankle — the decisions, the outcomes and what you wish every patient knew.
Professors, program directors and mentors shaping how the next generation of orthopedic surgeons trains and operates.
Surgeons behind new techniques, instruments, implants and research — and the long road from idea to operating room.
Life after clinical practice — identity, purpose, planning, and the lessons you’d pass on to the surgeons coming up behind you.
How it works
Tell us about your practice and the topics you’d like to discuss using the form below. It takes about five minutes.
If it’s a fit, we’ll set up a short call to get to know you and talk through the conversation.
Sit down with Dr. Johnson for a relaxed, unscripted conversation. We’ll share simple setup tips if you’re joining remotely.
We’ll let you know when your episode goes live and send you clips and links to share.
Apply
The best conversations come from candid experience — the hard cases as much as the wins. Share as much or as little as you like; we’ll follow up with any questions.
FAQ
Orthopedic surgeons — practicing, academic, inventors and recently retired, in any subspecialty and from anywhere. Orthopodcast is a surgeon-to-surgeon conversation, so our guests are surgeons rather than patients.

Yes. Most guests can join remotely with a laptop, a decent microphone or headset, and a quiet room. We’ll send simple setup tips before we record.
Plan for about an hour, including a few minutes to get settled before we start.
Absolutely — within reason. Conversations focus on your experience and what listeners can learn, rather than promotion.
We keep applications on file and often reach out as we plan future episodes and themes.
