I used to listen to This Week in Virology every week, but I found that their scientific, er, restraint and skepticism of results unless and until they were Peer Reviewed and Randomly Controlled with huge sample sizes meant the info I was getting from the podcast was perpetually 1~4 months behind.

Granted you listen to TWiV exclusively for hits, not for misses, but since I’m not a doctor myself and I was listening to keep abreast of the pandemic, wildly out-of-date info and dismissive attitudes toward anything without an RCT weren’t doing it for me.


Security Now is quite a jewel of a podcast. I admire Steve Gibson for paying for transcriptions of each of his episodes [0]. That way, you can actually search for something you remembered being mentioned in an episode.
