Acknowledging that I mainly pop up in the comments to add topic suggestions, like a particularly hungry cuckoo:
Fancy doing one on Vagus Nerve Stimulation? My Facebook feed is a sea of adverts for these ‘NHS approved’ devices after I (foolishly) posted a status update expressing scepticism and the algo decided I was a fan. Big claims seem to be being made about its ability to cure a wide variety of conditions (ADHD, anxiety, depression, LC) and my crank-o-meter has spiked.
Not that you ever run short of said, but throwing it out there!
Have a great holiday!

You brought up kidney donations in the surrogacy episode. I beg you not to do an episode on it: it’s an ethics and policy question, and I come here for a science podcast, not a ‘Tom tells us why libertarian politics is the best’ podcast.
Do you feel like looking at mammogram screening I understand this was brought in by Thatcher to get ladies votes yet doesn’t meet all the criteria for screening. Last
I heard it could be that over diagnosis and intervention was a problem but that was a while back I am always ambivalent about going for mine but I do want to live to see my grand kids Hahaha

If you're wondering why you think you did an episode on transplants it's because you did a long ad read for a works in progress are article about it.
Thank you for another great episode!
