Best EM podcasts?

What are your best EM podcasts?

I've been an EM:RAP customer for 12 years, but I find myself fast-forwarding through more and more of their now-weekly casts. The intro's are now generally all social pod-casts, and their focus on woke issues is useless to my practice.

The "how to treat your fasting patient during Ramadan" has me finally throwing in the towel.

The part where they spoke about nebulizers and IV fluids, glucose , electrolytes not being acceptable for Ramadan was useless...the majority of Ramadan patients are coming for dehydration/weakness/syncope but the only form of fluids acceptable is what? Rectal? EM:RAP is useless at times.

Yeah.
I miss the in depth lectures they used to have.

It's weekly now?
I can't remember the last time I learned something new that was also useful on EM:RAP but I thought that's because I am now experienced i.e. getting old.
I think I stopped listening again more than a year ago.

I love all the banter and the Covid reflections and touchy-feely stuff. I guess that's why I'm transitioning to HPM after 15ish years. They have a ton of free podcasts. I'm surprised there aren't more out there for EM. That said, Emcrit is awesome and free.

I really like EM Board Bombs. I started paying for their subscription service EM Rapid Bombs. Using it currently for my boards retake prep, but it's all relevant and easy to listen to, I'll probably keep it after I pass

Hadn't heard of these guys, thanks!

No longer putting the F in FOAMed, unfortunately. Still some good free content occasionally but the majority is now subscriber-only.

I think Emergency Medicine Cases and the IBCC Podcast series are the two best that are currently free, and I give Scott Weingert credit for hosting the IBCC and keeping a lot of other good stuff online.

I’d love to learn of more at this level of quality out there, especially any putting out new content.

Edit: I actually just looked and it does seem like the RSS podcast feed is still active when I try to access it via the Apple Podcasts app. However, when you try to access the podcast via the website, there is a paywall. Unclear whether or not this is intentional, but I take back what I said about the podcast no longer being available for free.

I don't know if I've heard you on a podcast since you filled in on the Annals podcast. But I'm out of touch. What do you do now?

I genuinely thought that "How to treat your fasting patient during Ramadan" was you dropping fire-tier satire because that truly is what EM:RAP (and academic EM) has become.

I threw up in my mouth, a little, when I found out that it wasn't a joke, but actually the current state of content on that worthless platform.

I've been filling in ... for a decade now, with no end in sight ....

For Ramadan, can't these people just wait a few hours until sundown and then eat and drink?

SOCIAL EM!

Ha, I had no idea. I've fallen out of touch with the new literature and am walking the lonely path of the community physician.

Well, it's free – and, umm, I guess we might be awful, but I think if we were truly awful they would have fired us many years ago.

I will say we are not always excited about the articles we discuss – Annals seems to have decayed a bit, whereas it once seemed the primary target for EM research. Now I see relevant EM stuff in JAMA Network Open, Annals of Internal Medicine, etc. and even places like Emergency Medicine Australasia end up with more practical content.
