“Over the last few years, I've become increasingly obsessed with podcasts to get me going through my hour-long commute each day, and recently have listened to a lot of great podcasts that do something new with the medium. However, I've been itching for something that returns to the style of podcast and show that I first got into, where there are no gimmicks, where it's really just about people and conversation and learning about a sect of our society that I don't know anything about, and this podcast is one that can happily fill the void.
I thought I would be a doctor as a child, but ended up going into the arts, so I can't really speak to the impact a show like this might have for someone working in healthcare (though I'd imagine it might act as a sort of life-raft, a way to find that inspiration and purpose again, as is the show's purpose, I think). But the podcast is inspiring for people from all walks of life, I think, and the lessons and conversations can be helpful no matter what you love to do if you've ever felt less than inspired. This can help you find that spark again, or at least gain a new insight and appreciation for the doctors that all of us end up interacting with in life, often during our worst hours.
On top of all that, the production value is consistently good, the theme song and logo well done, and makes this seem like a very solidly produced podcast, and I appreciate that. And as a creative who has sought to write characters who are doctors, something like this, which gives very personal insights into what they go through, a podcast like this is invaluable.
P.S. As an obnoxious American with Irish heritage, I can't get enough of Dr. Paddy's Irish accent. : )”
