Basics of EM is gold

Perfect podcast for me to listen to driving before and after shifts as an early MS4. Every minute is super high yield and has helped me develop both my ddxs and presentations!

Setting a Standard

Salim and the rest of the REBEL EM team are very knowledgeable; setting a standard for EM podcasts. Their content is evidence-based and delivered via a quality production. 5-stars!
