  • Great but...

    Great resource for brushing up on core topics but could really do without the psychotropic music (please do away with it!). I couldn’t even finish the last episode because there was a guitar solo playing through the whole episode, I’m hear for the medicine content, not the music...

  • The Guitar is so annoying

    The topics are so crucial and I love the podcast. But please remove the annoying Guitar in the Background; I can’t concentrate. It is too loud, masking nearly all the very important information, especially given your soft voice. Kindly, please either reduce the guitar volume or eliminate it altogether so we can benefit maximally from your podcast. Thank you.
