Fairly good— needs broader range of expertise
The first episode I listened to had too much undefined jargon, but it has improved since then and is accessible. It’s unnecessarily dry at times, although I understand that the podcast is trying to strike an informative, academic tone...I’m not asking for entertainment but for digging deeper. The biggest drawback from my perspective is the podcast creators have narrowly defined what counts as expertise related to Covid-19. I’d like to see more representation from social scientists and bioethicists (JHU has an excellent bioethics center after all). This is a social disease and social response as much as it is a natural phenomenon and medical crisis. The episode on the intersection between Covid and marginalized sex workers and drug addicts was the best episode so far…something that other news outlets are definitely not covering and a topic that better addressed the social and ethical dimensions of Covid than most of the episodes.
