HOW???

It does seem like a weird and slightly extreme claim to make, so I looked back at my playback history. Yesterday was a bit of an outlier because a) I was catching up on some and b) my day in general was weird, but if you look at some past dates it checks out.

Weekends I listen to more, or I run out and listen to audiobooks instead. I just basically always have a podcast on if I’m not working, reading, or communicating with others -- cooking, cleaning, walking, playing video games, doing crafts. Mind you, I live alone so I don’t have other peoples’ conversations to consider, and most are between 10 and 30 minutes long. So if I’m say, doing dishes and cleaning in the course of a morning, I can listen to 4-5 just between waking up and starting work. But on a weekend I can get through probably 15-20 podcasts a day if I’m not socializing.

You listen to Bedside Rounds? I know Adam Rodman; he's one of the people I regularly bump into at medical conferences, and we're Twitter mutuals.

Yes! I think either we’ve talked about this or I had that conversation in my head...I know I’ve wondered in the past if you two might know each other, but then dismissed that as silly because it’s a bit like assuming anyone from a moderately-sized town would know anyone else randomly. That’s cool, though! I think I found his podcast through HIPPO Education’s Urgent Care RAP podcast, which I listen to via web because to get the feed you have to pay and while I enjoy the free bits, I’m not someone who needs to pay money for a medical education podcast. :D (I found RAP because someone paid me to transcribe an episode.) 

It’s funny -- obviously I don’t have medical training, and a bit of both podcasts goes well over my head, but even the super jargony Urgent Care RAP is enjoyable to listen to. I understand enough to more or less follow along, and it’s really cool to listen to people just Be Very Good at their jobs. Bedside Rounds has some great stuff to say about the lenses we use to view science history. Plus during the early pandemic RAP did a series on COVID, both the science we had and the actual experience of doctors, and it was really helpful to me in sorting out truth from propaganda from “we just don’t know yet”.
