Awesome!

I’m so glad I found this podcast! Great concise summaries with great tips! Very practical! I’ve been copying and saving the graphics for later review as well.
Great job team. Keep it up! 👍

Terrific job!

I really enjoy listening when exercising or driving between home and the hospital. Definitely gives me flashbacks to residency/fellowship journal club but without the associated dread. Keep up the great work!

ouicemom ,

Excellent informative podcast!

I’ve been listening to this podcast intermittently since it started. Absolutely full of useful and thought provoking information. I would listen to every single episode if it weren’t for…alas, TIME.
Well considered structure of each episode.
Great resource when you have a specific question too.
