My favorite podcast

Fix the sound

Come on guys... great content but please invest in some decent microphones. The sound levels are wildly unbalanced. For $80 purchase a decent lav.

Like an audio version of Harrison's

I really enjoy the podcast and I appreciate all the work Davor, Rahul and Bec have put into the podcast. I think they do a great job bringing in interesting physical exam pearls and have targeted this podcast for a starting housestaff or intern, explaining what to do when you're called at 3 AM and why you should do it. I think this essential stuff for those new residents in training and I'll be sharing it with all the new interns comming in.
