Great show, I'm glad Margaret McCartney has a growing role. Her analysis of research is so interesting and useful in a day ti day way. I actually think you could give her her own shown debunking health myths and getting under the skin of research.

Important, accessible, enjoyable!

I really appreciate having Dr Mark Porter & Dr Margaret McCartney consider & explain important medical issues in such an engaging & accessible way. They and the experts they interview manage to convey complex symptoms & treatments in a way that informs & does not patronise a lay audience. Mark & Margaret aren’t afraid to challenge expertise & opinion (I love Margaret’s regular championing of evidence-based medicine!) & I don’t know how they find the time to put together this excellent podcast on top of being actual GPs! Keep up the great work :)

Top quality health podcast from the BBC

This is an excellent show, giving balanced information on health matters, with a healthy dose of questions where necessary. The topics covered are wide and varied, with many an eye opener. This is one of the better podcasts around and I always look forward to the next episode. The show itself is not political but I hope those in positions of power find time to listen to it.

Invaluable

I love this show - I'm a junior doctor and I find it brilliant to learn new things and keep up to date on medical news whilst doing something terribly boring, like commuting.

Absolutely Brilliant!!

Love this in Tuesday nights! Generally, 'medical matters' is very interesting and informative. 'All in the Mind' is often very 'samey' though, so it probably should not run for as many weeks as it does at the moment. I much prefer Dr. Mark Porter!

Fabulous

I am a GP in London and I love this. I don't usually go in for this sort of thing. A bit close to work but this is really entertaining. Recommended!!

Claudia Hammond would lose her naive love for violent UK chav culture, if her boyfriend got a blow to the head in an unprovoked attack. And she sounds like a little girl swinging her feet from a tall chair. Get her off.

Wonderful

This topic is very important. If it was communicated to even more people as well as it was in this broad/podcast, then it would help improve the wellbeing of many unhappy people.

Excellent
