Lots of great info…. But be prepared to NEVER hear the terms “women” or “men”… its “people with uteruses”, “people who menstruate”, “people with testes” 🙄🙄🙄 not sure why society is catering to a faction of society that makes up LESS than one half of one percent of the population… its virtue signaling and it’s a turn off.

Think Mold Toxicity. CIRS. Please do a podcast on this and you will see the link between mold exposure and ME, CFS, POTS, LYME, MCAS, FIBROMYALGIA. . These are all just symptoms. The underlying issue is MOLD. Thank you

Wow! I have ME/CFS and this was the best synopsis that I have ever seen/heard. I was amazed at your level of empathy to understand the experience so well from the outside. I really appreciate such clear information, and much of the history I had not heard before. You really connected the dots there. Thank you for this very well researched overview and for your outstanding handling of it.

Thank you for covering long covid and now MECFS. I appreciate how in depth you discuss these and also how RESPECTFULLY you covered these illnesses. Thank you!!! From us too sick to advocate for ourselves ❤️‍🩹

This is definitely my go-to podcast. I love their dynamic so much. I also love that they stay on topic and make it all so interesting and educational. I’ve listened to the Prions episode 3 times! I hope it never ends. Thank you Erins

This is my favorite podcast. I love learning the things that science knows ( and doesn’t know!) about different diseases and conditions. Presented well by both hosts.

During the Tonsil episode you guys mentioned IgA. I would love to learn more about it. My brother at 42 just had a kidney transplant due to his autoimmune disease.

I love how these two are able to not only be incredibly informative, but also able to deliver this info with humor. Which is sometimes necessary after listening to some of the first hand accounts the episodes tend to start with. Love the show!

Very informative and interesting! Highly recommend this podcast. It is highly informative and entertaining. Love it.

I like the disease facts but love the histories more! I also love the banter and the nerdy humor so much! The altitude sickness episode was my favorite.

Gave this podcast a try because I love MFM, but turned the episode off halfway through because the pace was slow, there were so many unnecessary interruptions from the second host, and the entire episode seemed poorly researched.

These two can have some interesting information and they can also be really annoying.

Very informative for me as a healthcare provider and entertaining! Thank you ladies!

Thank you for covering Parkinson’s disease. I always love your deep dives, and this episode is especially helpful in my care for my father, who suffers from PD dementia. Time for a dopaminitini!

Erin and Erin, without you and your podcast I would have never known that I am an interior designer who secretly dreams of becoming a microbiologist. You two are cooler than cool. And I adore every episode. Your soothing voices make even the most disgusting and disturbing inflictions fascinating. I feel humbled by science but excited for more knowledge and technology advancements (hello vaccines!) every time I listen. Keep doing what you’re doing. I’ll be here fangirling and listening. Xx

For anyone who is fascinated by science but who got scared off in school. This podcast is fascinating, entertaining and important. Love you two so much!

Not only fascinating, accessible and super informative, I appreciate the boldness of the authors in addressing the “political” (read: human) issues, head on. I’m (not)sorry if the frequent mention of marginalized groups and inequality offend some fragile people, but it’s literally most often how diseases, infectious or otherwise, run rampant. That’s what makes this podcast much better than the lurid true crime/disaster/dateline style podcasts - instead of catering exclusively to rubberneckers who want their superficial shocks and scandal and nothing more, this podcast aims to FULLY inform listeners in addition to entertainment. Keep up the good work!

Just found this and listening to the back catalog. Excellent!

I really do love everything about this podcast…except I just can’t get over the “people with uteruses,” “people who menstruate…” and so on and so forth. You do mean women, correct?

Your podcast is GREAT!I have a request for you.Can you add Glycogen Storage disease?Its a rare disease that I have and there is not much awareness about it.

I love TPWKY! It’s fascinating. I didn’t know what a science nerd I seem to be. Thanks for the reference to The Demon in the Freezer. That’s a really frightening read! 👀🥶☠️

Hey thank you for making this stuff. I found this podcast though another podcast that my mom recommended. If I had one criticism it would be that it’s not weekly, but I understand that you both have lives. But that’s the 1 criticism I have.

I love the opening listener stories and the Erin’s do such a good job of presenting these topics in an easy-to-understand and sensitive way. I recommend this pod to all my nurse friends; working with an extremely immunocompromised population, many of these diseases are very poignant for me. Please do BK-virus and aspergillus pneumonia.

I’ve been a practicing physician for nearly 25 years, and I learn something new (usually many things) from each episode. The Erins do a phenomenal job of taking deep dives into each topic, and present a concise and broadly in depth (I’m even beginning to sound like them) rundown from epidemiology to history to current status. I recommend this podcast to all of my colleagues and the students I teach. Keep up the amazing work!!!

As a medical student, science and podcast fan I can say this is filled with value. Not only it makes available academic knowledge to the general public allowing for better understanding of an array of conditions, it is an entertaining learning or reviewing tool for people like me whom are involved in healthcare. I can only wish there were more podcast like this while I wait for each new release. Congrats!

This subject matter is SO incredibly interesting. The show has a foundation so great in scope. And then…. you discover that you’re listening to two idealistic children with no sense of realism or responsibility. The answer to all of life’s problems is SOMEONE ELSE needing to do this. Or SOMEONE ELSE fixing that. The labeling of everyone as racist, and homophonic, and misogynistic, and… it just keeps going… if they dare to live their normal and ordinary lives away from any medical education or involvement where they would be able to commit to any of this “responsibility” that we all have. There are bad people in the world. There are horrific problems and tragedies in the world. The gross misuse of what could’ve been such an incredible work of media is yet one more of those tragedies. I hope that the two hosts of this show are not representative of the medical research industry as a whole. (Because, yes…. It’s an industry!)

I enjoy listening two different facts about diseases, viruses, and infections. I also enjoy the humor woven through each episode. Please never stop making this show! Also have you ever done a show on Rheumatoid Arthritis?

Love the podcast. Could you discuss Avascular Necrosis?

I got two min in it and could not stand it

I’m a microbiologist and I wish I’d known of this podcast sooner! Very well researched & entertaining. The 1 stars are all anti-vax/conspiracy folks, and why would they listen to something like this anyway? 😄 Keep up the great work!

The two Erins make infectious disease interesting and at times funny. I’ve enjoyed learning about the history of many of the diseases plaguing us today, and their historical beginnings.

I’ve been listening since the very beginning and love every episode. I especially enjoy listening to the history side to the topics. I was wondering if you all would ever consider doing an episode on hormone replacement therapy, with a specific focus on transgender HRT? There are so few resources out there that do a comprehensive look like you all do!

The invaluable research with expert industry leaders mixed into the discussion has helped me with so many questions around vaccinations for our children and beyond. As a FTM, I really wanted to learn more about the recommended and required vaccines, especially when they receive many at the start of their lives. This has been extremely informative and I really appreciate the work put into this to help us take a deep dive into the history and research behind what has saved millions of lives. Thank you!!

Love the presentation and history of topics

These podcasts helped me so much in my microbiology class!!!

When the episode started and there was talk about the missteps in criminalizing hiv I was so excited because it was the opposite of what you said about how we should handle covid. I thought that you had learned from the mistakes of covid and corrected your opinions. As the episode continued I learned this was not the case. Then when you brought in capitalism and the outright lies began I realized I needed to do some fact checking. High cost is what denies peoples access to health care. When you compare the inflation rates the more open market over the counter drugs have a significantly lower rate of inflation than prescription drugs (look at the cost history for Claritin going back to when it was prescription only for an example). When it comes to health care access plastic surgery (typically not covered by insurance or Medicaid/ care) has significantly less inflation. To clarify heavily regulated insurance that you purchase through your work is fascism when the gov then gives tax breaks to employers who provide and punish those that don’t provide. If you want more info on how actual economics work please go to the Cato institute’s research. Compare what they were saying start of covid and compare it to what actually happened. Did your experts do better or worse than the Cato experts?

This show is amazing. The Erins are both knowledgeable and charming. The information is accesible and you don’t need to have a doctorate degree to understand it. I love the fact that they are friends and they speak in such a conversational way. No pretentiousness, no arrogance (and they could, they have the credentials to show them off). I really don’t understand why people have a problem with their giggling. Why not enjoy listening to two people bringing science to some of us who wouldn’t be able to access it otherwise, and have fun while doing it?

Asbestos episode rocked my world. Great podcast.

It's so informative and provides historical context of the disease as well as the biological information and what it means for us today. The duo of Erin and Erin is a joy to listen to!

Love this podcast. The Erins do an excellent job of explaining the science of diseases and miscellaneous maladies. One of my faves was lactose intolerance. To have something so prevalent explained so well! Always a total treat when a new one shows up in my feed.

I am fascinated by most of the podcast’s topics, and have listened to every one of them. Each has taught me something and they’re all interesting and informative. I enjoy the format and the trading off of sections between the Erins. This is one of my favorite podcasts…please don’t stop!

Fantastic pod! I learn so much from these amazing women and I love their personalities! So much fun to listen to! Their humor is great and keeps the heavy topics more palatable. Keep up the great work 💯

I had studied Public Health and Epidiomology in school prior to changing focus to nursing. I LOVE how spot on and entertaining this show is. It tickles my nerd fancy and keeps me fully engrossed. I never get sick of hearing about the history of disease and its effect in the world.

The Erin’s are professionals who know what they’re talking about. The take incredibly complex disease structures and break them down to understandable parts. I’m always amazed at what I learn through this podcast

Funny and fun to listen to! Definitely one of my favorites!

One of my very favorite podcasts!

I wanted to learn about periods and menstruation so I listened to the episode on that topic. They refuse to refer to girls and women as “girls and women” but rather as “menstruating people”. It’s just wild to me that they would interview someone who is supposedly an expert on the topic of periods even though the “expert” has no idea what a woman is. Disappointing and disturbing.

Thanks for the informative episode on bedbugs. I sure hope I can get to sleep tonight!

Jeez! I want the info but the constant giggling has finally got to me. Sadly, I’m deleting this show but not because of the content. Maybe new hosts are in order? Just a thought.

Can you girls come with more merch?😭like hoodies, sweet shirts, etc.
