In times of corona induced anxiety (and boredom), this podcast is awesome. It helped me to have a different outlook on medicines as a whole. I used to think that medicines had an answer for everything but now I understand that the history of medicines is not as cut-and-dried (not even now) as we tend to think. The hosts are a hilarious duo that brings you to the backstage of medical history and make every topic -from snake oils to the Spanish flu- digestible. If you don’t know what to listen to, try this podcast.

Me and my partner love this podcast and always listen to it together!!

Clear and fascinating explanations of how people've treated medical conditions then and now (even when I don't have ANY medical knowledge). Fun!

I find this absolutely fascinating. Especially the comparrisons between the horrible things we used to do to cure compared to what we do now.

Carry on! I'll be listening!
