Best Medicine is a cracking mix of science, sarcasm and super humans. Kiri excels in this role, balancing humour, warmth and pathos to a quality show that needs to keep on keeping on.

Podcast Addict54 months agoRunciRunci- Brilliant
Absolutely brilliant show. Kiri is very funny, as are all the panellists - I don’t know where they find them - or how they come up with the right combination of serious and light hearted, but it works every time. And I am learning so much as well as laughing. Bonus.
Apple Podcasts5AmeliePUnited Kingdom5 months ago - Spoilt
A potentially interesting podcast, ruined by the over-aching BBCness; complete with weak and unnecessary sexist and racist quips. more
Apple Podcasts2Yorkie73United Kingdom5 months ago - Medicine and laughs
It reminds me a little bit of Infinite Monkey Cage. The guests are either experts in their field or comic talents. Sometimes the best laughs come from places you don’t expect. The medicinal science is not dumbed down but is accessible. I have always discovered new things from each show. more
