  • Best allergy podcast

    This has been such a great podcast, great content and well produced with information that is helpful for both allergists and patients. As an allergist, I like the recent review podcast on tepolizumab and CRSwNP, looking forward to future episodes.

  • Love it!

    Hi!

    I am ten years old and I know this sounds weird but one of my major hobbies is itchiness. I do not have any condition that causes itchiness, but I have loved itchiness since I was three years old. This podcast is great thank you so much for making it

  • Much needed info

    It’s amazing to find all of this hard-to-find info in one place. My only small issue is that they repeat the same explanations almost word for word 2-3 times in a row.
