    I really enjoy the Knock Knock Hippocrates, particularly the knock knock eye episodes, it’s fascinating to learn about the eyes and hear Dr Glaucomflecken geek out about ophthalmology! His personality brings a lightness to even serious topics and makes it a fun listen

  • Smart, fun, accessible

    Have loved all your skits since the beginning of the pandemic. Re future content: with the dissolution of the NIH, CDC, etc and increase in misinformation and conspiracy theories, you may want to provide basic public health info, unless your audience is already informed. Maybe a refresher on HCWs wearing respirators to protect their patients!

    Thanks for your entertaining and informative infomercials - whichever direction you go will be great.
