Hey! We're Salem (Raluca in the early episodes) and Mia, and we're a medical scientist and a historian who put their brains together to create this medical history podcast! We make content about anything we find interesting that is at the intersection between medicine/ medical science and history, with a queer and/ or social justice flair.
