Reviews

5.0 out of 5 stars from 38 ratings
  • Great content and knowledgeable guests

    As a young biomedical engineer in BioPharmTech, this podcast is a good resource for pertinent topics in the medical device/pharmaceutical world. The only critique I have is the audio quality could be better. The sound cuts in and out sometimes for the guests. I'm guessing the audio is extracted from a zoom or teams interview. The host would serve himself well with a better mic and recording in a better studio-like room setting
