  • One of the best parenting podcasts

    This podcast has helped me so much as a new mom. It covers all ages but everything is talked about in a kind and factual way. Specially the peanut allergy episode, talking about the scientific studies recently done, was helpful to me.

    Love it and would recommend it to everyone

  • Great info for parents and caregivers

    Dr. Mike is great at giving nuanced info in a simple way, and making good points for at-home discussion.

    Some episodes are deep dives into a single broad topic, and other are general news of the day for a big audience.

    So glad Nationwide Children’s Hosptial does these!

  • Great quality information

    I really appreciate Dr. Mike taking the time and effort to put together these well researched and informative podcasts. I frequently listen to a range of podcasts, both educational and just for fun, and it is rare to find such a quality podcast for the general public. I just have one minor suggestion- please shorten your introduction. I usually have to fast forward through the first 10 mins as it takes this long for the content to start.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Electric Bike Safety: What Parents Need to Know! - PediaCast 612
Q: What safety practices should families implement before and during e-bike use?
Parents should use a written family agreement, enforce helmet use with properly fitted and speed-appropriate helmets, practice in safe spaces, and ensure ongoing supervision and training with community resources.
Electric Bike Safety: What Parents Need to Know! - PediaCast 612
Q: At what ages and readiness levels should kids ride e-bikes, and how should parents evaluate readiness?
Children under 12 should not ride e-bikes that go faster than 10 mph, with gradual progression to Class 1 bikes (up to 20 mph) for 12-15 year olds, ensuring they can ride a regular bike first and demonstrate hazard awareness and restraint.
Electric Bike Safety: What Parents Need to Know! - PediaCast 612
Q: What exactly are e-bikes, and how do they differ from traditional bicycles?
E-bikes have a battery-powered motor and a rechargeable battery, with three classes differing in speed and assist level; they are heavier, faster, and require different safety considerations than regular bikes.
Teen Driving Safety: Technology, Citations, and Parent Coaching - PediaCast 613
Q: Can you tell us why after all of these years, is teen driving safety still an issue?
The issue persists because teens are still developing cognitive skills like decision-making, and they are exposed to risk factors such as distractions, passengers, and speeding; safety requires ongoing parental supervision, modeling of defensive driving, and structured training beyond a single discussion.
Tylenol and Autism: Separating Science from the Headlines - PediaCast 608
Q: What do we know about the causes of autism from a scientific standpoint?
The consensus is that autism arises from a complex mix of genetic and environmental factors, with no single cause identified; studies continually refine what contributes, and large bodies of evidence emphasize multifactorial origins rather than a simple cause.
