You guys are thoroughly righteous. I love and appreciate your science approach. I first listened to your "Spanish" flu episode shortly before the COVID -19 experience, and will be forever grateful for the insights you generated. Abortion? Y

Fascinating topics, painstakingly researched and presented with endearingly geeky enthusiasm by the Erins. I listen to a lot of podcasts and TPWKY is one of my absolute favourites. Thanks and keep up the amazing work! 💜

I love this podcast. The women are stellar. They are knowledgeable and pleasant to listen to. They make "something that will kill you" interesting. Erin&Erin please keep future subjects/episodes to less than 1 hr.

Well researched. Clearly presented. If my granddaughters turn out like the Erins' I would be proud.

I think this is a very good podcast from a scientific and medical standpoint. However, the political viewpoint is very biased, and that kind of spoils it for me in some of the episodes. It would be nice to get all the same information without the clearly biased political commentary. Hearing their opinions isn't going to change mine, all it does is make it harder for me to listen and enjoy.
