- Great podcast!
Great podcast. Really enjoyed the history of vaccines and the way it’s made so that those that don’t have a science degree can understand how things work. Agree with other reviewers, skip the ‘puke worm’ episode because it will make you upset about the woman’s decision. If you wanted to talk about the emotional aspect of the pandemic you should have focused on those people that were stuck at home without any support and how that affected their mental state. Overall great podcast!

I found it really interesting to learn about the history of vaccines including the covid vaccine. Skip episode 8 unless you enjoy listening tp selfish, irresponsible people decide to kill their puppy instead of quarantining the dog for 2 months. The episode tried to make the woman to be so sympathetic, but honestly she just came off as a HORRIBLE person. So do yourself a favor and don’t listen to this episode. The other episodes are good.

Austria4 years ago - Great pod until Puke Worms
It was a great pod until the puke worms episode. It wasn’t pertinent to the story and seemed to have been used for shock value. It was completely unnecessary. I’m sorry that this owner wasn’t properly prepared for a puppy. Maybe it would have been a good idea to research puppy owning (especially a pure breed). She seems to spend an inordinate amount of time talking about the dog not being house broken. The worm problem would have been eliminated with the dewormer, so I’m unclear as to why there ... more
Apple Podcasts3msmandylynn10United States4 years ago - In a negative world this podcast is a bright light.
Everything you hear about covid is so negative it’s hard not to become consumed. This podcast takes a different approach. They feature many doctors, scientists and regular people who are proud and happy to have been able to make a difference.
The podcast does a great job of providing clear information that settles covid anxiety.
It’s easy to forget about the ways the world has come together during this pandemic but this podcast shines a light on it.
Great job and Thankyou for putting some go... more
