Pros
- I work as a NICU nurse and was so engrossed in the content that I didn’t notice it at all. It was a very emotional listen for me.
- I liked it even though it took a little bit to grow on me. I appreciated it more and more as the podcast went on
- I thought it was an unusual choice for a podcast, a bit jarring at first maybe, but didn’t hate it. I figured they were trying to emphasize how the story is so dramatic it could be the plot of a hospital drama. It also seemed like a uniq...
Cons
- There was very little time spent speaking to actual MDs about the issues. I would have loved to hear actual stories from that conference but the host just…spoke over them? This is a valuable debate to be having but it was so incredibly o...
- I liked the style a lot, I listen to a lot of podcasts through the years and I appreciate that she was taking a chance and doing something a bit different. ... What I didn't like about it was it felt a little bit like a PR piece for the...
- I suffered through it for the story. She’d move away from it for a while and I would always be mad all over again when she’d go back into it. She is good at telling stories - no need to dramatize a story that already has plenty of drama.
- Yeah I recently started the podcast and have been finding it confusing and distracting.
- Hated it so much. I was interested in the topic but almost quit because of the style.

There was very little time spent speaking to actual MDs about the issues. I would have loved to hear actual stories from that conference but the host just…spoke over them? This is a valuable debate to be having but it was so incredibly one sided in its’ perspective.
I liked the style a lot, I listen to a lot of podcasts through the years and I appreciate that she was taking a chance and doing something a bit different. ... What I didn't like about it was it felt a little bit like a PR piece for the protagonist anesthesiologist.

I've worked in both TV and radio scriptwriting and I just didn't get this choice in the presentation of medical/human interest subject matter. At first it seemed slightly tongue-in-cheek, then it seemed both earnest and trite before settling down to being laboured and tiresome.

I absolutely hated it! No background in this field, but do have a medical background, although that doesn’t affect my opinion. I hated it so much I really struggled to finish it and decided not to recommend it to family members who would probably be interested in the subject.
I thought it was an unusual choice for a podcast, a bit jarring at first maybe, but didn’t hate it. I figured they were trying to emphasize how the story is so dramatic it could be the plot of a hospital drama. It also seemed like a unique way in the podcast world to transition between scenes, helped really you imagine the scene.
