I’ve been a #sawbones fan for many years and their humorous but critical and evidence-based approach has inspired my own land use policy research and occasional silliness here and in public speaking. I much preferred it when we were making silly jokes about all of the terrible things old timey people did to themselves instead of the terrible things happening in #USPolitics right now https://maximumfun.org/episodes/sawbones/sawbones-maha-mess/ #MAHA #vaccines #PublicHealth

Things are moving so fast in #USpol that some of this is probably already out of date, but for those trying to keep up with the science and medical implications of the current US regime without being overwhelmed by the information firehose and with actionable advice I really recommend the #Sawbones podcast.

In addition to offering practical steps, they are compassionate, funny, and deeply committed to educating people about healthcare #sawbones
As an aside #Sawbones is an excellent podcast in general that I'm weirdly attached to because I feel the hosts have sort of grown up with me somehow. It started out as a funny goofy discussion of weird medical history and quack remedies and then during the pandemic suddenly became one of the most informative, compassionate information sources out there.
The #Sawbones podcast has done an excellent episode on the medical implications of #Project2025 and #RobertFKennedy. For the US folks there's some good advice on preparing for changes to abortion and reproductive healthcare access, gender affirming care, vaccinations and Medicare, as well #MutualAid and #CommunityCare and general info on staying mentally healthy in a crisis. https://maximumfun.org/episodes/sawbones/sawbones-project-2025/
I did not expect to find this #podcast about the #bbl as interesting and surprising as I did. Credit to Dr. McElroy for bringing a lot more thought and care to a pop culture topic that has some intense power in American culture but that I at least hadn’t thought much about. https://maximumfun.org/episodes/sawbones/sawbones-brazilian-butt-lift/ #sawbones #medicalhistory #beauty
So, something I feel I need to recommend to people who enjoy medical history, like I do, if you haven't given the podcast #SawBones a listen to... Well, it comes highly recommended by me. It isn't just medical history, but they also talk about some of the current weird trends that pop up, like, I didn't know about Vampire Facials until today...
Or early train hysteria!
TIL that two of my mom's favorite things to say came from Alka-seltzer ads:
"Try it, you'll like it. So I tried it, thought I was gonna die" and "I can't believe I ate the whole thing". Thanks #sawbones
Seeing these cultists with their dumbshit ear bandages reminds me of The Royal Fistula Fad: #sawbones remembers

@stina_marie @horror I don't recommend getting into #MBMBaM from episode 1. The boys still had a lot of growing up to do and their earliest stuff leaned into 2010s "edgy" humor. On the other hand, it's been really cool to see how they've matured and become better allies while remaining funny. If the absurdity of MBMBaM isn't for you, I think #Sawbones with Sydnee and Justin is an excellent, funny, and educational show.
@creationwing thank you for the rec list (which I found by browsing the #sawbones tag), I'm definitely adding the We Have Concerns to my listen-to stack!
I love it when #Sawbones is answering the big, important medical questions :Luzie_Smug:
I've started pushing to catch up with the #Sawbones medical history podcast, and today I learned of the Tucker Carlson-coined phrase "Bromeothapy"
My friends, I nearly broke down laughing in the car. What the actual hell :02laugh:

Here's one for the pearl clutches wanting to "protect the children" from "trans ideology". #sawbones does a dip into what gender affirming care actually is and how it works

@vagina_museum I recommend the #SawBones podcast for anyone interested in #PlinyTheElder being confidently incorrect https://maximumfun.org/episodes/sawbones/sawbones-pliny-elder/
I think I’m developing a #podcast problem. I’ve had people yapping in my ears all day, no breaks. Even blasted it while I was in the shower.
Today I’m mostly listening to #Sawbones (comedy/info about medical history, the latest eps: anthrax, farts, RSV, 3 great eps about pirate medicine 🏴☠️) and #RichRoll (ultra-athlete interviews people - plant-based, self-improvement, misc content)...
Might do #Ologies, #QDropped, #DuolingoFrench and #WritingExcuses next…
Where are all my fellow #MBMBaM, #TheAdventureZone, and #Sawbones people at? The #McElroy family is pausing their bird site activities, so now’s the time to build the community up over here!
