  • Called Lite for a reason; the previous ACCEL was so much better

    I love this podcast, but I miss the breadth and depth of interviews that I used to hear on the original ACCEL/Audio Digest. I felt I could keep up with new developments and thinking by listening to the 3 hours of interviews each month, but now ACCEL is much more limited, thus “Lite.”

  • Superficial

    Compared to previous version of ACCEL this is very superficial and shallow . I miss the old ACCEL with detailed interviews and pdfs . CME was nice too . I would not mind paying for the ACCEL if it is detailed and has CME included. The way it was in the past

  • Spotty coverage

    Occasionally, the interviewers and their subjects provide important new information or well thought out summaries of new guidelines. More often than not however this feels like a talk show, with some nice discussion and nothing new that I will implement in my practice. Some of the interviewers in particular are extremely flowery and complementary, bordering on obsequious and nauseating.
