    Podcast review
    I have immensely enjoyed listening to your often entertaining podcasts while walking daily. Your added humor makes me crack a smile. Being an old history major coupled with being a longstanding rheumatologist for over 30 years has stimulated curiosity and enlivened my endeavors in this field. Keep up the great job and corny humor!

    Awesome rheum podcast
    Adam Brown is passionate about rheumatology! This podcast wonderfully details answers and brings up relevant questions clinical and research rheums have in day to day life. He makes information fun, digestible, and user-friendly. I look forward to every episode.
  • Osler Intern
    The best podcast for future Rheumatologists
    Im currently an intern in IM residency and have been listening to this podcast on my commute. 1) the history behind the diseases and treatments make for some nice ~fun facts~ during rounds, 2) it does a great job teaching rheumatology to someone at the residency level, and 3) it is so entertaining. Amazing work!
  • pparames
    History buffs will enjoy this
    I, like Dr. Brown, enjoy learning about the history of a rheumatic disease. His podcast is so fun to listen to! Always a great learning experience as well.

    Great podcast
    Dr. Brown has a delightful charm that always keeps me coming back to this channel. His humor and genuineness are top notch, and the content is very engaging.
  • AmyFro
    Binge listening to this show
    I love this podcast. Great story telling. Dr. Brown is funny, has a passion for learning and educating, combined with solid understanding of the research and the clinical practice in this field. He manages to translate the research in such a clear way that I don't get lost in the acronyms and can easily follow the concepts. Great communicator--thanks for breaking it down. I wish you were my rheumatologist!

  • maria1983chico
    awesome!
    Light but informative; funny! Love it! Shorter more frequent episodes preferred! Agree Dr Brown’s voice was made for radio (podcasts). Highly recommended for residents, students and attending a too!!

    Post graduation grand rounds
    For all of us who miss having grand rounds post graduation, this podcast is a good option. I personally liked shorter and more clinically oriented topics. Also chatting with someone with Q&As is much more engaging than talking for 45 minutes without interruption. I listen to it in the car and enjoy it a lot!!
  • Spudders928
    Yes! Yes! Yes!
    Finally, a rheum podcast that doesn’t make me fall asleep. Dr. Brown does an excellent job at keeping things light while still being informative. His voice was made for a podcast. The historical aspect of some of the episodes are also a bonus as it give us new fellows an insight as to what rheumatology used to be. More please!
  • Sally348
