Love the podcast! The RSS link only seems to download the text from the website. Do you have a direct link for those of us with Android who want to subscribe to the audio podcast?

Love the podcast – I’ll never FOAM alone again
I love listening to your FOAMCasts! As a peds EM physician, the non peds topics are just the right amount for me. Thank you for doing what you do – this is an incredible resource to the medical community.
Hi, is it possible for you to put a search box?
There should be a search box in the banner menu that runs beneath “FOAMcast”, noted by the magnifying glass icon. Let us know if it doesn’t work!
LOVE your podcast. You guys are doing some tremendous work. I have been in practice for over 20 years in family medicine as well as doing emergency medicine locum’s in rural and IHS for eight years. I WISH I had had you guys when I had been in residency and also over the last 20 years! You actually make me laugh while I am learning TONS of useful research and core emergency medicine content! You have a big fan and Friend in Utah. Well done and best wishes !
PS: it is most obvious that you to spend MANY HOURS working on just one podcast. Thank you so much for your efforts in all of our behalf. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Thank you so much for your very kind words! Happy holidays to you!
Huge fan, just wanted to say keep up the great work!
I listen to FOAMcast on my 45 minute drive to work in a small community ED in Northeast Georgia. Great material. Thank you both for your hard work! I always learn something useful.
Lauren, may I say that your accent is melodious to this WV born, SC residing, GA working EP.
Sincerely,
Edwin Leap, MD
Thanks!
Hi guys great podcast, really interesting from a point of view of GP doing some ED work to brush up on this. For the early career doctors out there I was just wondering if you had to get any independent legal advice before setting up your medical podcast or any precautions you take when going on other peoples podcasts such as disclaimers?
Love your podcasts – really help me direct my ongoing education!

Would love it if you listed the music you play at the end of your podcasts on this website.
Awesome podcast. Concise, up-to-date, useful information presented in nice bite-sized portions. Kudos!
Absolutely love the podcast! Please keep ‘em comin!!
Thank you guys so much for doing what you do. I have listened to you guys for a while, but recently I’ve been listening everyday. You have been one of my primary sources for up to date (as much as that is currently possible) literature review during this pandemic, and you are helping a lot of people and saving us all a lot of time. Keep up the strong work and thanks again!
thanks! keep on!
Thanks for all you do ! I’m an ICU RN and your podcasts are very helpful! I’ve been listening for a long time ! Stay safe 🙂
