5.0 out of 5 stars from 8 ratings
  • Great for board prep

    This is an incredible resource for board review and general IM knowledge podcast. I wish all IM interns listened to this. I regularly listen to this on my drive to work and enjoy it because it focuses on hard facts/evidence with minimal editorializing. It also references primary sources to refer to for further investigation of topics I want to read further on.
