“The newest narrators as of summer 2011-12 are nowhere near as good as Dr Berkwitz used to be. Used to be 5 stars, now 2-3 is generous And as noted by others volume is way too low. Addendum: Better as of 2015 but still not as good as it used to be. Also --both March 2015 issues have been...”Read full review »

“iPhone tip: when gets into boring areas activate Siri and say “skip ahead 1 minute”. (You have to use Apple’s podcast.app for this to work). Being able to skip through less interesting bits hands-free is very helpful when commuting.”

“Note all the 5-star reviews are from 2009?! This sounds like it was recorded in a stairwell, and the unfortunate reader sounds like she is dealing with a lot of mucus. I find it hard to tell what she is saying. I'm sorry, but I won't be listening.”

“Of all the similar pod casts that I have tried, the Annals provides the most information with the most enjoyable format that keeps me coming back the most times.
Update: I first rated Mar 8. 2009. since mid 2011 the quality of the podcast has plummeted. After giving the new editor time to...”Read full review »

“Compared to other journal podcasts I listen to in the car, the volume on this podcast is too quiet and the audio production quality is not good.”

“I've got to say that MIchael Berkwits presented a very unique podcast that included interviews, obscure music (I really miss that part), and thoughtfullness. Ms Laine unfortunately has very big shoes to fill. I'm giving it 5 stars up to summer 2011.

“Tottally flat and dry presentation. There is not spice in the podcast like before: no inteviews, medical trivia, etc.
I hope, they either bring Berkowitz back or bring in someone else who actually enjoys doing this podcast!!!!!”

“I miss Berkawitz. Lane always sounds like she's drugged up and on the verge of crying. She also pronounces the names of pharmaceuticals in a way that makes me want to stab myself in the ear with a fork. Content-wise great podcast though.”

“The sound quality and speaking voice of Christine Lane is invariably terrible. What used to be a not only informing but also highly entertaining and very unique podcast has become one of the most dull, boring and poorly recorded around. Only the content makes it worth listening to. Tip to sound...”Read full review »

“This was my favorite podcast up to a few months ago. Dr. Berkwits was smart, funny and had wonderful medical interviews that added much to my knowledge. I loved the podcast and my only criticism was that it was once every two weeks rather than weekly. All that has changed when the current...”Read full review »

“I am an anaesthetic resident and listen to many different podcasts. I feel this is one of the best medical podcasts on the web today. Keep up the good work and please continue with the quality of reporting on these interesting subjects which I normally would not be able to review myself.”

“As an internist, I find that there is a lot of information streams out there. Between journals and shorter reviews (JournalWatch), email updates in the form of table of contents, my own pubmed searches, and podcasts, it is easy for an internist to be overwhelmed by both the information out there...”Read full review »

“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...”Read full review »

“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.”

“I could not have designed a better podcast. Lively, fun (and funny), and you never know what you are going to get--and I mean that in a 100% postive way. Unlike other journal summaries, there are valuable interviews and supplements to the content in current issue. Not a dry read, and this is a...”Read full review »
