About PediaCast
Parents have questions, and PediaCast has the answers!
Alright, before we continue tooting our horn, let’s take a quick step back. Your child’s REAL-TIME doctor is the BEST source for answers to your health, development, and behavioral questions. But we all know how busy your doctor can be, with one hand on the door and a foot outside the room before you've had a chance to ask your third question. And even if they let go of the handle and spend a bit more time with you, the answer is unlikely to be as complete or understandable as you’d like.
Enter PediaCast.
Each episode of our award winning audio program provides trustworthy, detailed, and up-to-date answers to YOUR questions. How do we do it? Well, we start by combing the latest peer-reviewed journals. We find current EVIDENCE-BASED answers. Then we work a little translation magic, turning the scientist-talk into parent-talk, and Voilà!--you end up with an entertaining listen that’s not dumbed down.
But wait... That’s not all! We throw in a healthy dose of News Parents Can Use and include lively interviews with top-ranked pediatric specialists and parenting experts.
What more could you want?
Okay, on second thought, maybe you COULD want more. Maybe you’ll want Dr Mike to become your child’s doctor. Maybe you’ll want a diagnosis. Maybe you’ll want a personalized treatment plan.
Well, that’s not happening. First, we’d have to charge a co-pay... and in this economy, who can afford it? Then there’s the lawyers. Practicing medicine on the internet is a sure-fire way to keep them in business during a recession.
So until the federal government takes over your child’s health care (in which case it may be quicker to see an online doctor, but that’s a topic we’ll save for another time), let’s keep the practice of medicine in the examination room and use PediaCast as an educational tool. Questions on that policy? Check out our TERMS OF USE page for legal issues associated with our little venture (and, yes, we had to hire our own lawyer to come up with those).
So what now?
THE EASIEST WAY TO GET STARTED is to SEARCH for a topic and listen to a show or two. You can also BROWSE the Show Note Archive, SUBSCRIBE to our feed, or catch us in iTUNES.
And if there’s a topic you’d like to add to the line-up, or if you want to chime in with your own two cents, stop by the CONTACT page and let us what’s on your mind.
If you’ve made it this far reading ABOUT OUR SHOW, congratulations--it means your one of those OCD types who needs to know the smallest details of everything. That’s great! You’ll fit in well.
But now it’s time to sit back, relax, kick off your shoes, put on the headphones, and LISTEN...
