Got a story idea for Bloodworks 101? Send us a text message We launched "Bloodworks 101" in January of 2020 with a story about Bloodworks Northwest blood courier, Tom Newman. The episode was entitled "Paying it Forward with Tom Newman" (S1 E1). We explored why Tom drives all over the Pacific Northwest delivering and picking up lifesaving blood products. It's vital work that Newman does with good humor regardless the traffic or the often rude drivers with whom he shares the road. But as producer John Yeager discovered, there is a compelling reason why Tom Newman does what he does and her name is Beth Newman - Tom's wife. In this episode, we meet Beth Newman and learn how her whole life changed on a beautiful morning in late November, 2007. In fact, on that day - it hung in balance.
