Podcast Pediatricians is co-hosted and created by Drs. Matt Gotthold and Rob Walter, two community pediatricians who are friends, competitors and affable antagonists.

Listeners of Podcast Pediatricians that love the show mention:I absolutely love The Podcast Pediatricians podcast! As a pediatric nurse practitioner, I have found this podcast to be incredibly helpful and informative. It covers a wide range of topics in pediatric primary care, including new research, treatment options, controversies, and personal experiences. What sets this podcast apart is that it manages to provide all this information while also being highly entertaining. The hosts have a great sense of humor and their banter adds an enjoyable element to the episodes. This podcast has been an invaluable resource for me as I continue to learn and grow in my practice.
One of the best aspects of The Podcast Pediatricians is the wealth of knowledge that the hosts bring to each episode. Dr. Walter, who is also my children's pediatrician, is incredibly experienced and well-informed. He provides valuable insights and practical applications of medical terminology and treatments. The episodes are well-researched and backed up by science, making them very reliable sources of information. Additionally, the hosts' personal experiences add a relatable touch to the content.
Another great aspect of this podcast is its accessibility to various audiences. While it is primarily targeted towards med students, residents, and PNP's, it is also highly beneficial for parents. The hosts strike a perfect balance between using medical terminology and explaining things in a way that anyone can understand. They cover a wide range of topics that are relevant to parents, including common pediatric ailments and concerns.
The only criticism I have for The Podcast Pediatricians is the inconsistency in volume levels throughout the episodes. At times, there are moments of laughter or speaking loudly into the microphone that can be quite jarring compared to the rest of the episode. This inconsistency requires constant adjustment of volume settings which can be quite frustrating.
In conclusion, I highly recommend The Podcast Pediatricians to anyone interested in pediatric primary care or parenting. It combines informative content with entertaining banter, making it both educational and enjoyable to listen to. The hosts' expertise and relatable experiences make this podcast a valuable resource for anyone in the medical field or raising children. Despite some volume inconsistencies, this podcast remains a top choice for those seeking reliable information and a good laugh.
