Loki’s pickle ,

Love the podcast and I am not in the medical world.

I came across the podcast by accident. I will spare you the journey, but what I found was a very informative and interesting podcast. The host is brilliant and charismatic, the guests are leaders in their field and the topics seem to be quite vast. Yes this podcast is not necessarily meant for me (non medical) but I find synergies from topics I want to learn more about, to getting a more inside perspective on what my friends and family deal with as medical professionals.
