Perfect podcast. Short episodes, no adds. Would be great of you did a season of neurosurgery!

Kirby does a great job at framing these stories to keep them informative and engaging. Along with thorough research and consistent quality, the man has a voice like butter that makes listening every week something I look forward to. THERE aren’t many podcasts I stick to but this is one of them.
