Best Medical Podcast
All of these reviews are correct: this is the best medical podcast there is. One reviewer wrote that it has NPR-like production quality, and this is true. Michael Berkowitz could give Ira Glass a run for his money any day of the week. My one quibble would be with the reviewer who said s/he didn't like the musical interludes; they may be strange, but they manifest Berkowitz's brilliant and discerning musical taste. Keep it up!
annals podcast review
This is the best medical review podcast by far. It sounds professional, the host is engaging and the approach to topics is always interesting. The mix of interviews, summaries, talks and music that "comments" on the stories always keeps me listening. Further, the host clearly knows the subjects and always asks the detailed questions. I hope the program continues indefinitely.
Excellent job editing and summarizing relevant news
Thanks for taking the time to edit and narrate the weeks journal. It is a great in depth look at the feature article. The interviews are well done and commentary is relevant to the average primary care physician. I think this is one of the best medical podcasts available for primary care doctors.
