Podcasts

Febrile

An amazing, diverse podcast hosted by Sara Dong, an American ID attending. Topics range between clinical ID, epidemiology and management. The website has summaries and infographics from the episodes.

A UK based infection podcast. Hosted by Jame and Callum, this was initially a microbiology flavoured podcast, aimed at UK based infection trainees sitting their speciality exams. With time the remit has broaden and is relevant to anyone working in clinical infection medicine.

Puscast

This is a fortnightly rundown of recently released infectious diseases literature. This is the second incarnation of this podcast. The original was made by the inimitable Mark Crislip and was revived by the prolific Sara Dong and Daniel Griffin. The original version of this is one of the reasons I chose infection medicine, and although this reboot lacks some of the acerbic wit of Mark Crislip it is just as informative.

TWiP: this week in parasitism

Second entry from Daniel Griffin, along with Vincent Racaniello and Christina Naula. This podcast takes the form of a clinical case, followed by (possibly too many) responses from readers and a clinical discussion.
There are also versions of this for microbiology and virology with a different set of hosts and slightly different formats.

Communicable

A podcast from the editorial team at CMI communications. They cover a wide range of clinical infection topics, beyond simply promoting article in their journal.
