Top quality infectious disease content. Highly engaging and informative. The sea shanty intro and puns are the icing on the cake!
This is such an amazing resource that has allowed better discussions when liaising with microbiologists in my trust.
I didn’t get that much if at all teaching about microbiology in medical school so this is great to to understand what I’m doing in clinical practice.
Thank you so much:)
Highly entertaining and informative for a ID audience
They are obviously both of high intellect as demonstrated by their keen scholarship of the lore of middle earth. I now know far more than any lowly geriatrician would care to know about penicillin binding proteins so thanks for that…
Fantastic podcast. I am a new junior doctor and this podcast has advanced my practice. Very kindly responding to my email with queries, providing me with extra information to prepare for a presentation

Episodes frequently parse drug classes (antifungals, antivirals, and antibiotics), lab workflows, hospital and travel medicine, and practical management decisions for complex infections. A recurring strength is balancing detailed, evidence-based discussion with accessible, often humorous banter that makes technical content approachable for clinicians and lab staff. Noteworthy is the consistent draw of UK-based institutions and real-world constraints (cost, access, lab logistics) alongside expert guests from hospitals, labs, and public health bodies, which can appeal to medical professionals seeking practical insights for patient care an... more
