Episode 02 discussion: UFC veteran and cardiac nurse Phillipe Nover discusses COVID-19 impact on NYC hospitals in this exclusive interview.
Welcome to Crooklyn’s Corner, the podcast that’s basically a hodgepodge of topics focused on the combat sports and entertainment community. The show will feature special interviews, fantasy matchmaking/analysis and whatever else we can come up with to keep our listeners steeped in fresh and engaging content. The show is hosted by Stephie Haynes and airs when needed to fill gaps in our Bloody Elbow Presents podcast network.
Here is a summary of the topics discussed or questions asked. Time stamps won’t always be available as our conversations tend to be very fluid and bounce back & forth frequently. However, when fantasy matchmaking and analysis is the focal point of an episode, we will definitely timestamp when each fight breakdown begins. As always, I hope you enjoy listening to the show as much as I enjoyed recording it.
*Note: For those that are unaware, Phillipe Nover is a cardiac nurse at a hospital in New York City. He’s been on the front lines of the emergency response dealing with the Coronavirus pandemic. I sat down with Nover this past Wednesday evening to discuss some of the challenges NYC hospitals are facing as a result of the deadly outbreak. I did get a few MMA-related questions in, so do be sure to listen to the whole show.
