Host
Host ⢠Loud Talker ⢠Former Rock Radio Guy ⢠Serial Question-Asker
Jimmy McKay is what happens when a rock radio DJ becomes a physical therapist and refuses to give up either career.
Heâs the human Venn diagram where science, stories, and a good pint overlap.
He created PT Pintcast to bring real conversations back to healthcare â the kind that make you think, make you laugh, and make you want to try something bold on Monday morning.
Since launching the show, heâs interviewed hundreds of the smartest, weirdest, most innovative people in and around rehab⌠and spilled a concerning number of beers in the process.
Jimmyâs superpowers:
Asking the question everyone wishes someone would ask
Making complex ideas sound simple (and fun)
Getting guests to say: âWow⌠Iâve never told anyone that beforeâ
Bringing just enough irreverence to keep things interesting
When heâs not behind the mic, heâs helping clinics and organizations launch their own shows through PT Pintcast Media, writing things on LinkedIn that make PTs go âOof⌠heâs right,â or reimagining how the profession shows up online.
Jimmy believes learning should feel like a conversation, not a chore â and if it involves a pint, all the better.
âIf youâre giving me 30 minutes of your time, Iâm gonna make it worth it â and weâre gonna have some fun along the way.â
