  • The Pneumonia Line: When a Cough Crosses Into Danger
    Jan 13 2026

    You’ve got a cough, fatigue, maybe a fever—so is it just a viral “cold,” or something more serious like pneumonia? James, Brodie, and Josh break down what pneumonia actually is, the clues that matter (and the ones that don’t), why antibiotics are sometimes the wrong answer, and the red flags that mean it’s time to get checked—fast. Plus: a myth-busting segment on “getting sick from being cold,” and the real-world reason pneumonia keeps ERs busy every winter.

  • Appendix: An Organ with Main-Character Energy.
    Dec 2 2025

    Meet the tiny organ evolution couldn’t quite delete.

    Your appendix mostly minds its own business—until one day it sparks a full-blown abdominal crisis. In our new episode of Not Another Medical Podcast, James, Brodie, and Josh unpack:

    ➡️ How appendicitis actually starts and why the pain “moves”

    ➡️ Why 1 in 12 of us will get it

    ➡️ When to stop “waiting it out” and head to the ER 🚑

    ➡️ Whether antibiotics can ever replace surgery

    ➡️ And what the appendix might really be for: a leftover evolutionary glitch… or a microbiome bunker and immune outpost that stuck around for a reason.
