Introduction to A Dose of History

An introduction to our podcast, A Dose of History. We are two medical doctors who have a curiosity for the origins of our medical practice. Exploration of historical events in the context of medicine and associated fields will be the basis of the podcast, with interview and 'microdose' formats. We hope this podcast will be ideal for the morning commute for our listeners, and that the content will be accessible to those in fields both within and outside of medicine. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
