He squashes misconceptions of the character of morticians as he brings on his personable personality to the podcast.

Abortion Rights: The Problem of All-Around Healthcare Access (ft. Penny Abeywardena)

When we think about our future in medicine, we imagine the typical physician that diagnoses and treats in an office. What we don’t consider is all the ways medicine goes beyond that—into the world of business, sports, ethics, and more. As two pre-meds navigating through the intricacies of healthcare, Soumya and Rudra hope to use this podcast as a platform to explore the various intersections of medical professions with other unexpected fields. Through interviews with proponents of unique medical fields, we’ll illuminate the stories, impact, and education that comes from these leading lights.
