Interesting

I like learning about medical history and this is a great podcast for it. The topics are interesting and well researched and cover a broad range. Being a bibliophile I enjoy the literary connection episodes. I also liked when Ang had her friend TJ on. My only dislike is the long off topic conversations. Sometimes I forget what the actual topic is. So if you’re looking for an informative yet casual podcast, give this one a try.

Hmm

Good until it wasn’t about the medical history stories. It became arrogant and about both parties lives. Can’t listen to the podcast anymore.
