Why does the podcast have to be political?? Get your facts straight!! I love a wholesome podcast! This is not worth listening to. I do not support this!

I enjoy the presentations and discussions during my commute. The hosts make the content easy to follow and have excellent guest speakers

I applaud the AAP for having a new Equity Leadership position and their commitment to further examining and tackling the racial inequities in medicine. However, I have two concerns. First “eliminating race-based medicine” sounds too similar to the Supreme Court announcement that “race blind” is the goal. That does not address the needs of minoritized families and communities. Second, the AAP cannot claim to center equity when they are holding their 2024 meeting in Florida. Both the NAACP and HRC have announced travel warnings to Florida because of the blatant anti-Black and anti-LGBTQ positions of the Florida government. To show leadership, the AAP must PUBLICLY move their 2024 Meeting out of Florida. The AAP is not following their own Code of Conduct by supporting this harm and hate toward children. I expect better.

Not nearly enough helpful medical info to put up with the lib agenda constantly being shoved down your throat. Enough already

I appreciated Dr First’s discussion of the treatment of anxiety in pediatric practice. Dr. First refers to a study that said that people who report more positive experiences are less likely to have anxiety. He also gives the excellent point of asking them for a recent moment that they enjoyed or made them happy. The chicken or the egg question is, how do you know that people who report more positive experiences are happier because they have experienced them or they report more of them because they tend to be more happy and less anxious people. Clearly, the idea of having positive experiences and reinforcing the pleasure of them should be the goal for all people. Even the podcast itself always ends with an ‘aha moment’ that the Podcasters share. Again, thank you for Dr. First’s monthly segments and the podcast in general! David Katz

Excellent content this podcast offers. However the constant fake laughter, especially when juxtaposed on serious topics, is a feature I find distracting. I only rarely will listen to it as a result of this chosen style of presentation.

I love this podcast as a way to catch highlights related to new pediatric clinical guidelines and studies, to learn about topics I might not have considered much before, and to hear discussions on topics I’ve considered a lot but which can be challenging. I love the curiosity, energy, humor, and empathy of the hosts and guests alike. Thanks!!

Informative and funny. Great podcast!

Usually like this podcast a lot; however this live one was, frankly, unprofessional and embarrassing, except when the guests gave serious information. All those puns and jokes (followed by groans and nervous laughs) were a waste of time. It sounded like doctors trying their hand at stand up comedy.

This latest episode really was stunningly illustrative about how political the practice of medicine has become, even in pediatrics. It’s really too bad. I used to come here to keep my practice current and medically sound. Now I come here and feel like the AAP simply has a political axe to grind. The earlier episodes were much better, and I’ll still frequent the pod for pertinent medical information as I see it come up.

As a rural pediatrician of over 30 years, I so appreciate the knowledge gained weekly from this informative and approachable podcast. It sets my 12 hour office day on a hopeful footing.

This simple podcast gives me bits of evidence based medicine without all the lengthy details.

Informative. Great use of time

Quick and easy way to learn about hot topics and new research in pediatrics!

This is my favorite podcast. It’s timely and easy to listen to. Also, it’s just long enough to listen to while I exercise!

This is my favorite Tuesday drive home from work podcast! The hosts are engaging and they choose guests with interesting topics related to today’s pediatric environment. I love getting new ideas on how to apply and change my daily practice. A must listen!

Love educational content that is actually enjoyable to listen to!

I love podcasts and this one is great. Concise, UTD info that makes it easy to keep up with things. The say ahh moment is a nice touch as well!

Ever since I discovered the launch date of Pediatrics On Call, I set weekly reminders on my calendar just so I won’t forget the new episode for that week. Both Joanna Parga-Belinkie and David Hill make an excellent job in introducing the latest research and topics in pediatrics - just the other day I integrated in my talk with an adolescent boy the issues we worry about with legal performance-enhancing substances. Thank you for this podcast, AAP! I’m so looking forward to future episodes!

High yield information in a short format - great for the drive into work

Engaging and practical discussions on relevant pediatric issues!

Great addition to my lineup of bike ride podcasts!

I appreciate this podcast and the succinct way it delivers important information

I love how they discuss relevant topics in a quick and easy to understand format!

Engaging speakers with current clinical topics. Love listening on my commute to work.

I started listening to this on recommendation of “Curbsiders” podcast. This is definitely not as thorough or informative as Curbsiders.

Super useful- concise and with highly relevant clinical information.

Great podcast with bites of helpful information. It’s helpful as a PNP. The AAP is a physician group but as someone who works hand in hand with pediatricians it would be nice to be acknowledged and included instead of consistently using the label of pediatrician or physician.

So informative and a really great listen. Looking forward to any more episodes!

Sensitive, upbeat and accurate! Trifecta!

Great advice, perfect for my daily commute.

Joanna is so talented, funny and passionate - this is going to be a favorite podcast for sure!

Informative interesting

Well done and an interesting group of topics so far.

Big fan of Baby Doctor Mamas! Can’t wait to hear.

So excited for these episodes!! Can’t wait to hear.
