  • So fun!

    I am a mid-career medical executive (psychiatry background). What a fun way to explore questions I never learned in medical school, and refresh my basic internal medicine knowledge at the same time. A course always feels like a “chore” — but this podcast is fresh and fun.

  • Love this podcast

    Love the podcast music- it makes me smile and want to dance and be jolly 😊.. but I also love how you guys present information. I love that you admit you don’t know everything… and you all seem to have a great chemistry and are funny which makes learning that much more fun.

    Every time I listen I always think.. I need to let them know how much I enjoy their show and to please never change that intro music- it’s the best!!

  • Great shows

    I love how you guys come up with answers on why we do do the things we do. So often there are things we do because that is what we were taught but we don’t understand the why. Like in this last episode on steroids and edema in the brain.
