- Informative and entertaining
Great podcast. An ideal way for neonatal health care professionals to learn about the latest advances in the field. I regularly listen to the podcasts by Ben and Daphna on my drives, during exercise to update - my favorite podcasts are the journal clubs and interviews of inspiring physician-scientists. - Satyan Lakshminrusimha

Thank you Daphna and Ben for providing such an easily accessible forum tha... more

I love him so much but he’s not a great conversationalist (only 15 weeks) and having your podcast playing whilst I’m driving or hanging out at home has helped me in so many ways. I’ve always pondered a switch to medicine in a human sense (I’m cu... more
