Great podcast

I listen to several journal podcasts, and this is my favorite by a large margin--the conversation is smart and engaging, and I always learn something. Great podcast for clinicians who want to know not just the "what" but also the "how do I apply it" about current pediatric research.

The evidence based podcast premise is excellent, and discussions are often very thought provoking with expert guests. However, discussions often seem to contradict or not acknowledge the study the discussion launched from (eg iron supplementation in breastfed infants). This is of course the difference between expert opinion and clinical studies but would be great to have this identified more explicitly.
