    What a brilliant podcast. As a practicing Consultant Neurologist in the UK I am a regular listener.

    The three podcast formats are all brilliant.

    Editors, Editors pick and case discussions each have engaging and passionate presenters. The trainees on the case based discussions are great. I always encourage my colleagues and trainees to listen to this pod!

  • Thank-you Geraint and Phil

    The editors do a great job, much in the manner of ‘The Rest Is History’ providing an informative but also entertaining and often amusing exchange. In the manner of an aperitif, with the prospect of an excellent meal ahead, the highlights whet our appetite for the journal’s upcoming issue, with all the convenience of audio for continuing medical education.
