  • Career-Inspiring Podcast

    This is by far my favorite podcast! As an incoming resident, I cannot overstate how influential Dr. Roberts and Dr. Herrell have been in my decision to pursue OB/GYN. Their excitement and commitment to evidence-based medicine are refreshing in a world where jaded providers often discourage students like me. I can’t recommend this podcast enough—I share it with everyone I know who’s interested in women’s healthcare! I genuinely look forward to the Wednesdays when new episodes drop!

  • Amazing hosts and solid evidence

    I’ve listened to a lot of med podcasts, but Antonia and Howard’s cohost chemistry and education on evidence-based medical practice raises the bar. I’ve learned so much about how to critically appraise research! It’s been a great asset to deepen my OBGYN knowledge base through my training, and although this isn’t my anticipated field of practice, I think the wisdom in the approach is so applicable I keep coming back.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 10.6 Natural Birth Claims
Q: If any of this stuff you're telling me is true, then what can women do to avoid unnecessary interventions like cesarean deliveries?
Pick a birth attendant you trust, be patient, and ask about their intervention rates.
Episode 10.6 Natural Birth Claims
Q: What about pain? That pitocin hurts. And many of the women in my community are trying to avoid epidurals. So won't it lead to more epidurals?
The relationship between pain and the need for epidurals is complex; induced labor may be more painful, leading to higher epidural rates, yet stressors vary by individual.
Episode 10.6 Natural Birth Claims
Q: So are you saying that this idea is wrong?
The natural birth community does largely miss on this theory; the cascade of interventions is not the primary reason for excess cesarean deliveries.
Episode 9.13 The Surgical Maze: Trocars, Cuff Closure, Visceral Slide, and More
Q: Does it really matter if you elevate the abdomen as you're placing the trocar?
It's a detail that may be trivial, but not having a study specifically proving its effectiveness makes it a complex question.
Episode 9.10 Pit Breaks, Cannabis, and IUDs for Endometrial Protection
Q: How long would it be safe to use Mirena as the progestin component of an HRT regimen without needing additional systemic progestin?
While the FDA has approved Mirena for up to eight years for contraception, evidence for its long-term use in HRT for endometrial protection is limited, and more data is needed beyond the five-year mark.
