EvoMed Personal review
Great podcast! I hope that they start putting more up. I have been listening to them and I think they have been able to demystify a lot of the concepts I have found to be very difficult to grasp. I am personally a philosophy nut as well, so hearing an episode on biases in a medical podcast, with medical application was amazing! I like both the long and the short podcasts. Sometimes I have to take a little breaks beefier I return to the longer ones but there aren’t any true problems with this podcast in my personal opinion. Keep up the good work!

Save the marshmallow.
Teaching evolution in medical school and beyond is like passing the marshmallow test and realizing that evolutionary medicine teaches us where we might want to direct Medicine and research. Unfortunately we eat the marshmallow right away and focus only on the proximate narrow view of disease and not the big picture.

Interesting and relevant
This podcast provides a much-needed set of insights into the relationship between medical interventions and patient outcomes, placed in the context of the evolutionary basis of human physiologic responses to illness and injury. The host is well-informed and interesting, as are his occasional guests. I look forward to each new episode.
