Popular Reviews of This Podcast Will Kill You

This podcast does an incredible job, in such a short amount of time, dissecting complex issues of biology, sociology, history, and modern medicine in each pathology they discuss. I’m in awe and I learn with every episode.

this podcast makes me think i have every disease but i love it

i simply cannot recommend this podcast highly enough! it’s been just over a year since i discovered it and I have so enjoyed every minute of listening. The Erins do a wonderful job of condensing all the information into a neat, easy to digest package to give a comprehensible overview of the disease for each episode - it’s so interesting to really follow the journey of disease understanding. Their dynamic makes for fun listening and almost makes you forget you’re actually learning, and the quarantini concept is a particularly nice touch really making this podcast special ??<3

As a scientist who works with pathogens on a frequent basis, I LOVE to listen to this Podcast while working at the bench. You guys rock and I love hearing about the "bugs" that I sometimes get to work with :) Thank you for giving me full information about a particular disease/plague, kind of a Cliff Notes version so I can research more if I want. KEEP IT UP ladies! Love ya!

Love this podcast; I love that it covers from the specifics of the pathogens right up to the impact at a cultural and global level. Love the presenters' style, even when they're talking about really grim things, they keep me feeling interested.

I started listening to this podcast at the start of covid lockdown and I was instantly obsessed! The Erin's are amazing! Super informative and keeps you engaged! I've already almost binged the entirety of this podcast in only a few months.

Since I watched "House, MD" several times I have been looking for something in the intersection between popular science and medicine. Being from Russia I managed to come across this fantastic show and continue my marvellous medical series trip. I have been listening to the podcast since the very first season and I am still enthusiastic when a new episode is being released. It helps me to improve my English and I haven't found any shadow of boredom while listening to Erins for about 70 hours! This podcast kills you by its entertaining and clear explanations of chemical processes and curious historical facts. I can definitely say that TPWKY is my favourite podcast and I love spending evenings with my personal versions of placeboritas listening to Erins - two nerdy friends you always wanted. : )This also was my primary source of keeping up with all the coronavirus stuff, but what I like the best are the episodes about influenza and vaccines.P.S. Gerardia!

My best friend and I love this podcast, it’s so informative and simultaneously makes you despair and be uplifted.Also their beautiful voices make everything sound amazing ?

Besides the sciency stuff, this podcast also talks about the human aspect of the disease, which is why I love this podcast. Yes, we need to understand how the disease messes up the cells. But ultimately, it is HUMANS that are getting the disease, not cells.

Love the Erins and love the format of this podcast. I’ve enjoyed every episode and am always looking forward to new episode alerts! They also bring on great guests to discuss issues that they aren’t knowledgeable on. Highly recommend if you’re interested in disease or health at all.

Such a fascinating and well-researched podcast that makes an intimidating, complicated topic accessible and interesting. For anyone who just likes to learn stuff.

Love this podcast! It really gets down into the nitty-gritty about diseases in the science and epidemiology. Erin and Erin are a lot of fun too!

This is my favorite podcast for several reasons. Both presenters, Erin and Erin, are smart, compassionate and great at communicating their topics simply and effectively. They inject passion and humor in everything they do! Would be wonderful to sit down with them over a quarantini or two and discuss, oh anything! Following proper CDC guidelines naturally. Keep up the magnificent work, Erin and Erin!

Takes me well out of my comfort zone with science and history and I love it! The hosts make complicated science reachable and understandable!

Fantastic. As a Public Health Registrar (Consultant in training) transmissible disease is a key part of my job. I found this podcast through the Exactly Right Network just when I was despairing over how I ever remember all these different diseases for my exams. The Erins were a revision godsend- the info I need to know as a professional but delivered in such an engaging, entertaining and human focussed way. I've well and truly caught the TPWKY bug, and have particularly loved the branching out into non transmissible diseases, with the Lead Poisoning episode a particularly poiniant favourite. Thank you Erins- you are a credit to the profession and I now recommend you to all my students as well as my friends!

Funny, clever and educational. I learn so much from this podcast and have fun listening too.

The way these gals present and discuss disease processes is so engaging, enjoyable and approachable. I have learned so much and look forward to seeing new episodes from the Erins in my podcast feed!

The Erin's take genuine joy in telling the world the hidden histories of disease. It's fun and educational, what's not to love?

Amazing podcast. Love the different sections and the interaction between the hosts.

My 8 year old son loves science. He & I listen to all the kid appropriate episodes on the way to and from school. Some of the science might be a little over his head, but he LOVES it & we listened to most of the appropriate episodes several times. This podcast has lead us to many talks about not only medicine, but also poverty, privilege, & social justice.
