Customer Reviews
Just love this podcast
Love the content and presenters, they narrate in a natural style without over the top dramatics. It’s a great idea to have one lay narrator and one medical doctor, the quality of content is great and I wish the series could continue, they re loads of stories and cases left to cover
Upset it is moving to Spotify
I like this podcast but I don’t like Spotify so I won’t be following the podcast there. I wish the owners would reconsider keeping their podcasts here and on Spotify. I’d still listen here, even with the addition of a couple commercials. Please stay here on Apple Podcasts.
