About this listen

When a Kentucky nurse named Misty Combs found two baby raccoons trapped in a dumpster, one of them passed out in a puddle of moonshine, she did what any true hero would do: performed CPR. Yes, really.

In this episode of Social Rounds, we unpack the internet’s favorite story of medical training meets wild animal rescue. From moonshine to moral philosophy, we explore what makes someone spring into action when others freeze, and how compassion sometimes looks like mouth-to-mouth on a raccoon.

It’s part comedy, part chaos, and part case study in what it means to care - no matter who (or what) needs saving.
