  • Eww

    I’m a PT, married to an internal medicine doctor, and am a total science geek and a total history nerd, so thought this podcast would be interesting. I couldn’t get past the first 10 minutes of two different episodes because of the inane, unserious discussions. The 20 or so minutes I made it through sounded like jaded docs yukking it up over beers. Nvm.

  • TLDR: history medicine hilarity

    Three EM docs decided to make a medical history podcast and it’s turned out fabulously. Interesting topics? Check. Non-sequiturs? Check. Smatterings of utter nonsense? Triple checkity-check. And they wrote and sang their own theme song… Poor Historians really is superb. 5/5
