  • Ditch the background music!

    The information is good, but the annoying and mindless but loud background music makes it hard to focus on what the experts are saying.

  • A must-listen

    A fantastic, balanced podcast that really gives just the right amount of facts. You learn enough to feel you are doing what you can, and knowing what is going on where. Very clear explanations, but not so much so that you feel uneducated. It’s an invaluable resource in a changing pandemic.
