Join the Docs: Empowering Healthcare Conversations

Into: Join the Docs, a podcast brought to you by Podshop, hosted by Professor Jonathan Sackier and Doctor Nigel Guest, seasoned medical professionals with a knack for storytelling with a slice of old school humour. With informative discussions and some very bad jokes along the way, Jonathan and Nigel, our valued clients, aim to empower their listeners with details they can use to seek the best healthcare.

But, Join the Docs isn’t just about medical jargon and diagnoses; it’s a journey into the heart of holistic health. Health, for them, transcends mere absence of disease; it encompasses mental, emotional, and social well-being. As doctors who trained together and are dear friends, they believe in the power of laughter as the best medicine. Their podcast delves into topics impacting all facets of health, offering insights and clarity on complex issues while sharing the joy of their profession. It’s like being privy to a conversation behind the curtains of healthcare, where they aim to empower listeners with knowledge and a dash of humour to navigate their own well-being journeys.

So what can you expect from Join the Docs as they release weekly episodes over the coming months?

Weekly Doodles

At the heart of Join the Docs’ branding lies their in-house illustrator, Robin Gott. The doodles are there to draw connection to the docs’ unique humour which have been incorporated into each episode, setting us apart from the usual podcasting format.

Weird and Wonderful Episode Topics

Join The Docs offer episodes covering everything like unusual objects in unexpected places, sausages in Botox, the complexities of auto-vampirism and many more. Trust us, the Docs will have you laughing! And with our studio hosting a diverse array of guests, like Glenn Hoddle and John Oates, we’ll add a captivating dimension to the podcast with insights from individuals spanning various fields of interest.

Podshop’s Impact

Our journey with Join the Docs stands out thanks to the meticulous attention to detail we’ve put into every aspect. From strategy sessions with The Docs, to recording sessions in our studio and right thorough editing, we’ve worked hard to ensure each episode is top-quality. Behind the scenes, our marketing efforts have been equally strong, with targeted campaigns aimed at introducing Jonathan, Nigel, and their unique humour to the world.

Insights from Jonathan and Nigel

In a recent interview, Jonathan and Nigel shared their perspectives on Join the Docs:

What inspired Join the Docs, and what overarching message do you aspire to impart to your audience through each episode?

Nigel: Join the docs was inspired as an extension of the conversations held naturally between two close friends who have been so from the first few days at Medical School until present day.

We have had diverse medical career pathways and yet share a love of medicine, it’s complexities, challenges and the privilege of shared experiences with our patients. We cannot help but mine the wealth of humour in medicine, sharing our experiences from the sublime to the ridiculous and our occasional incredulity at some human behaviours.

Our aspiration is to share our enthusiasm, to entertain and amuse but also to educate with the information we share and the golden thread running through our podcasts of when to seek professional medical advice.

Join the Docs has an eclectic array of topics. Could you shed light on your process for selecting these subjects?

Jonathan: Join the Docs certainly looks to see what people are searching for online, what topics are in the news and patients have asked us questions about over the years. And of course, selfishly, things that fascinate and entertain us….and we hope, the audience! We also really want to make a difference, to help people find the right approaches and avoid the wrong ones. Just today we have received two “thank you’s” from people who took action as a direct result of listening to Join the Docs.

The post Join The Docs: Isn’t it time you saw your doctor? appeared first on POD BIBLE.

The Referral with Dr. Karan

Dr. Karan brings his high-energy, simplified dissections of medical conditions from TikTok to podcasts. Each episode is neatly divided into medical news updates, mythbusting interviews, and a Q&A with questions from listeners. Medical podcasts tread a fine line between being really informative and too technical. Dr. Karan’s social media experience helps him strike just the right balance in this long-form content. His engaging style encapsulates new information and his guests’ insights into an easy pill to swallow. Bonus: hearing how proud he is to provide access to medical information to millions as a working NHS doctor and social media educator (currently with a combined 7.5 million followers across all his platforms). Listen now >>

The Retrievals

This five-part investigative narrative series is about a federal crime committed at Yale Fertility Clinic (attached to Yale University) in the US. The series explores fertility, female pain, responsibility, justice, and privilege. This podcast had me feeling a lot of things. The details made me squirm, the personal accounts hurt my heart, and as the story unfolded, the residual shock stayed with me for a while. Host Susan Burton leaves so many questions on the table about female health and voice in this cutting podcast. The reality is, we hear stories of female pain being routinely dismissed in the UK too. We shouldn’t have to, but how can we better advocate for ourselves? How do we demand more from our healthcare professionals? Where do we go from here? Listen now >>

ZOE Science and Nutrition

Now, I’m someone whose signature move is unbuttoning my jeans before a meal to prepare for the post-meal bloat. (Anyone else?) The ZOE Science and Nutrition podcast was my gateway show into dietary health. Created by world-leading nutrition and gut scientists, ZOE turns our digestive systems inside out, addressing the benefits and harm, public attitude and lobbying over the food we eat. The main line of messaging is that every body is different, so everybody’s diet should be too. I appreciate that they encourage listeners to use the podcast as a springboard to empower research and investigation into your own health. Listen now >>

28ish Days Later

India Rakusen brought the menstrual cycle to life with this 28-part limited series. The bite-sized episodes take you day-by-day through the biological, emotional, historical and social aspects of a period. I don’t think I’ll ever stop recommending this podcast. With an impressive line-up of contributors, every episode made me feel surprised, confused and seen. Conversations around women’s health still feel shrouded in secrecy until things are really bad. India Rakusen artfully creates a sense of welcoming, community, and belonging in her podcast and the success of 28ish Day Later is a great example of what happens when female voices lead the way. Listen now >>

The Bias Diagnosis

Take a seat and draw back the curtain, Ivan Beckley is about to give you his diagnosis. Medical student Ivan pokes and prods the medical system to find the racial inequalities in education, access, and outcomes. Starting his investigation in the historical roots of medicine, Ivan investigates the stereotypes, misinformation and myths that are still alive in medical practice today. He looks at five dimensions of healthcare and maintains a patient-centred approach throughout. More than anything, this series pulls you out of “normality” and forces you to question how these statistics, care and outcomes have been ignored for so long. Listen on Audible now >>

Let’s talk about sex (education)

Lucy Carr’s documentary on sex education in the UK was a flash-back to the awkward and uncomfortable lessons I experienced at school. Lucy lays out how sex education is driven by political agenda, misinformation and out-dated beliefs. Access to sexual content online is easier than ever before but it doesn’t seem like sex education has caught up with that. Even if you don’t have young people close to you who are directly going through this, it’s interesting to think about the long term effects of this education on our adult perceptions, attitudes and conversations around sex. Listen now >>

Honourable mentions list:

The Neurodivergent Woman – A majorly underrepresented and under diagnosed group, this show does an amazing job of opening up the conversation about and for neurodivergent women. Find out more here or listen now >> 

A thorough examination with Drs Chris and Xand – If you’ve ever felt frustrated with a family member’s health and lifestyle choices, listen to this. An emotional story of community and family involvement in health struggles. Listen now >>

Bias Diagnosis: Season 2 – The focus of this season is gender bias in medical systems. The lens shifts but maintains the patient-centred, deep investigative approach of season 1. Listen now >>

Sex Ed with DB – If you’ve ever had a sex question, it’s likely you’ll find the answer here. An LGBTQ+ and BIPOC-centred podcast, Danielle Bezalel speaks to sexperts about an immensely wide range of topics to debunk myths about sex. Listen now >>
