Podcast Spotlight: Sawbones

I'm getting addicted to Sawbones. I have a thing for medical stuff anyways, but the hosts are so damn funny, I downloaded the entire backlog and am making my way through it.

Shew....


One of the hosts, Dr. Sydnee McElroy, is truly a doctor so there is a lot of good, factual information. Her husband, Justin, is the comic relief. This podcast is what they say it is: a tour through misguided medicine.

The episodes I've listened to recently include phrenology (feeling the bumps on your head to see what kind of person you are) and plastic surgery. If you listen to the Measles episode, be prepared. They go after the morons who choose not to vaccinate (as well they should) and they give the facts about measles so people can be aware of how bad this new outbreak in America really is.

This podcast started in June 2013 and, based on that, I have a whole lot of learnin' and laughin' to do!
