Great little podcast
I'm a medical student on my emergency medicine placement at the moment and this podcast is very useful. The episode on comparing amiodarone vs procainamide in management of VT was insightful and the discussion high-quality. Many of the episodes are short (> 20 min) which lend to easy listening while having lunch.
