Turtle McConnellAll the episodes!I love your podcast! Thank you for what you do. I’m a new listener and many episodes have relevance to me or someone I know. From Alpha-Gal to Norovirus to tonsillectomies. I’m sending your episodes to those in my world to help make more informed decisions.

Hudy benudyBest PodcastIt's so informative and provides historical context of the disease as well as the biological information and what it means for us today. The duo of Erin and Erin is a joy to listen to! Amazing and worth your valuable time.

Annamaul93So uplifting and informative!My partner and I are big fans of this podcast because it’s well researched, easily understood, and goes in depth about every topic they cover. It’s occasionally disgusting, because diseases, human bodies, and all the vectors that connect them can be pretty gross. We no longer listen during meals after the Norovirus episode, but we LOVE listening just about any other time. Some of my favorite episodes are the deep dives into rare conditions. They nail it! We look forward to hearing many more from these two wonderful women.

Erin WannabeNever Skip PodI absolutely love this pod! Every episode intrigues me, even if I don’t think the topic would be of interest. The Erins are incredible hosts and the content is so well-researched and well-explained.
-
Nimue2youLove this podcast!I learn so much from every episode. Erin and Erin make learning interesting. I needed teachers/professors like these two when going to school.

trulydooleyInteresting and InformativeThere are so many things that can kill you! This podcast is well researched, entertaining and I have “huh! That’s cool” moments every time I listen. The hosts are genuinely excited by their topics and it makes you feel like you’re listening to two friends nerd out about weird and niche topics you never knew about. Or maybe you did know something about it but now you know MORE! This is a favorite podcast of mine and I recommend it to everyone! Happy listening!

N. ArcocorridoNo filler—just fun facts! Yay!Sooooo glad the hosts, who really come off as smart, warm, and considerate, really focus on talking about the facts they’re exploring from historical and medical angles. Unlike many podcasts, they don’t waste time on side conversations or chuckling about irrelevant comments. Instead, they focus on the facts and add depth of knowledge to the info. Great show!!

StefD43Amazing show!They cover everything…from stuff you’ve never heard of to the stuff you have. But, even with the stuff you’ve heard of they go into so much detail educating you (in a very entertaining way) all along. Truly love these BRILLIANT ladies!

athomp1221Love the Erins!I've been listening to this podcast since the beginning, and it's still one of my favorites!! Gotta love two intelligent, unproblematic ladies talking science and disease. 🩷

Dmz89usInteresting and informative podcastI love this podcast because I learn things that I never would’ve known. It’s very interesting. However, I think part of the reason why I love it is because the voices of the podcasters are so soothing. Sometimes I actually listen to this podcast to fall asleep at night! Lol. The funny thing is is then I have to listen to the podcast over again the next morning because I want to find out what I missed when I fell asleep.

jacardona212Great for nerdsThis podcast is amazing. I’ve learned so much about so many diseases. My fountain of trivia grows weekly with this podcast.
-
7-Mary-4The best medical podcastErin and Erin bring such joy and passion to disease that it’s contagious. Sorry, I couldn’t pass that up. I really hate puns, but I love this podcast. Their episode on Sickle Cell Disease was amazing. I’d also recommend the Rabies episode if you want to understand how terrifying a disease can be.
-
Erin ForresrNot just because my name is ErinI love this podcast so much and I’m so grateful that the Erins continue to evolve it while keeping the core of what makes it great.

seesaw70Stop alreadyThis show has so jumped the shark.

CRingsEEEkI’ve been a listener for some time but over the last couple of weeks we’ve started to see an outbreak of EEE (Eastern Equine Encephalitis) in my area (like less than a mile from my horse pasture which backs up to a swamp). Imagine my surprise when I searched the name and the top results was my trusted “friends” here. I wasn’t a listener yet back when they published on the topic, but sure was glad to go back and listen to the episode. It’s a pretty scary time for us but knowing all the details helps me prepare for and protect my beloved animals and family from this nasty virus. Thank you for sharing this information.

sallygorpCan’t get enoughLove this podcast. The Erins do an excellent job of explaining the science of diseases and miscellaneous maladies. One of my faves was lactose intolerance. To have something so prevalent explained so well! Always a total treat when a new one shows up in my feed. One thing to note, I personally don’t really care for the book club episodes. I like the routine of the regular episodes better.
-
ItstmackLove!Absolutely love this podcast! My entire feed is all basic girl true crime with a hint of spooky, and I’m so thankful that I found This Podcast Will Kill You via Exactly Right! Absolute best for long drives when I can really listen and learn. The format is great and I truly feel like I learn so much! I am in NO way a science girl, but you ladies tell the best stories and I’m so thankful for all that you do!
-
ChefAnika5 stars for the ErinsFascinating, knowledgeable, and science based. Love it!
-
fitgal1961InfoGood guests with great info but audio of guests needs improvement. Hosts overuse valley girl phrases “like” all the time. “Ya” really distracting. They need to sound more professional.
-
ian lllllllllBest podcast everI can’t say enough good things about this podcast. The ability to present complex topics in a way that is relatable and entertaining makes each episode unforgettable. As a nurse, I have some background in the more medical topics, but my wife is an engineer and has no background in the medical field. Even with our extremely different backgrounds, we are both able to immerse ourselves and really gain a lot from the podcast. Alright, I need to get back to listening now, and finish up this review!
-
BurgundyM.Fascinating, informative, and fun!I never thought I’d combine the words “infectious disease” and “delightful” in the same sentence. Informative, empathetic,engaging, and entertaining. Well done!
-
tofulishHow can a show on diseases be this delightful?Updated: I’m still a huge fan because they do an amazing job making very complicated information accessible and enjoyable! There are no words for how much fun this podcast is. The Erins have a real gift for distilling and explaining complicated topics with a sense of wonder and humor that is so engaging. I’m so grateful!
-
I'm from PennsylvaniaLove this pod!!Been listening for years - the hosts are so knowledgeable, have such an amazing dynamic together, and honestly such pleasant voices which is important in this medium 😅 finally writing a review because the celiac episode was so satisfying as someone who developed acne in my early 20s and after a few years of trying to figure out the cause, turned out to be some sort of gluten sensitivity, and then ultimately celiac. Anyways, this was really insightful and I just adore these 2. That’s all! :)
-
MattVillamainoGreat podcastThe podcast is interesting with both the history and the scientific information about each topic. Fun to listen to with good enthusiasm from the Erins.
-
AspenRobertsUghUnfortunately for me I got curious and wanted to put your voices to your faces and now my entire reality has shattered because I simply cannot imagine Erin W.’s mouth making the voice that I was SO sure belonged to Erin AU. Any suggestions to erase this information from my brain would be appreciated. Love the show

kaleykkThank you, Erin & Erin!Review 3: I’ve been a listener for many years - just wanted to add that I love the new format! Weekly episodes and multi-ep deep dives on big topics! Review 2: I’m editing my review from several years ago to include a thank you to the Erins for helping us navigate COVID. The vaccine episodes, breaking down the learnings as they emerged, and equipping us with facts helped me immeasurably during a terrifying 2020 (and beyond). I don’t know what I would’ve done without this podcast. Review 1: i love how excited the hosts get - it makes me excited to learn, too! informative, interesting, and compelling every time.
-
TB0330Great podcast!I am a Veterinarian and i love listening to Erin and Erin weekly! They are so informative and entertaining!
-
sussfooLove!!I love Erin and Erin! They’re cute and smart! I love hearing all the details of how different diseases work, and the cross over eps with In Defense of Plants about poisons and natural medicines.
-
JazzSingerJCNerdy & DelightfulThe Erin’s give me a break each week from all of the political pods I listen to. TPWKY is fun, funny, educational, and so important. As a migraine sufferer, the migraine episode was so validating and informative. Thank you Erin & Erin! Can’t wait for what you have in store for us.
-
Wisonsin fanLove, love, love this podcastI have been listening since the beginning Every episode is so interesting. I love that they are broken up into different sections so you are educated about the biology, history and current events. We work with rabies and botulism at my lab so learning how those diseases affect the body really helped my understanding.

HatzalExcellent review of Parkinsonism.If you or a loved one have this disease, you need to listen to it! My suspicions confirmed about my mate’s anxiety, acidic stomach, halting or freezing explained. Thank you!

SammirosittaI can’t wait to hear every episodeI look forward to listening to Erin and Erin. They are beautiful story tellers and so darn smart. I love them so very much.

ShaynaCassContinually IncredibleThe Erin’s are beyond brilliant! They are knowledgeable and are able to communicate that information in such a digestible way. Not to mention that their wit makes even the most horrifying episodes fly by!

roxygirl0313The only podcast I listen to regularlyThis is my favorite podcast!! The Erins are so easy to listen to! So informative! So entertaining! Makes me wish I would have studied epidemiology in school! Thanks for the great podcast!
-
ArosebakBravo!I am so impressed by how thoughtfully intelligent, curious, and professional (yet relatable) the Erins are.
-
‘Ohia LoveCan’t unsee thatI give the Erins full credit for my Googling of myiasis. Love this podcast.
-
Molly the OTLove the Erins, quality podcast!Highly recommend for curious folks, students in ecology or medical fields, history nerds. This is not your average deep-dive-on-a-topic podcast. They provide a uniquely personal take on topics like infectious diseases within a historical and ecological context. The episodes are long but I’m always left wishing they could go on forever. Thank you for your incredible research and accessible descriptions. You’re the best!! P.S. I almost never leave reviews PPS Your episodes on topics involving neurological symptoms and those on chronic diseases were especially interesting and helpful in occupational therapy school! MS, polio, Parkinson’s, the list goes on!!!
-

EJK5329LOVED Supplement EpThis episode was fascinating, informative, and had me gasping in shock multiple times. It makes me wonder, is there more regulation for prenatal vitamins??
-
itsybitsydragonIncredible Science PodcastThis is my very favorite podcast and has been ever since I found the show. As someone who works in microbiology I’m always impressed by both the accuracy and the depth of information given. No matter what the topic is I always learn a lot of new info and come away with a much deeper understanding of it. Anyone who is interested in good sci comm or learning more about disease shouldn’t miss this podcast.
-
RgfredWonderfully light podcast about heavy subjectsI really enjoy hearing both the biology and the history of the disease or topic, and the Erins make it fun!
