Excellent show

Enjoyed my time listening to this podcast. Really good selection of articles where even minute details such as the methodology are discussed in context of the overall picture. Would recommend to all derm residents as well as more senior physicians to stay up to date on new articles in a fun and easy to digest manner. All the best

Funny and informative and “has everything”

This podcast is the best thing happening in dermatology right now. This is a great standup pairing of Dr Michelle Tarbox and Dr Luke Johnson. Their personalities and medical interests are different enough to balance each other very well. They both have a great sense of humor and appreciation for the nerdiness required to be a great dermatologist. I think Michelle just dropped a Stefan from SNL reference in describing how Aplasia Cutis Congenita os hot and “has everything.” I only wish it was more than once per fortnight.

Best dermatology podcast + JOKES! 😂

It’s obvious Luke puts extraordinary effort into every single episode of Dermasphere. But what makes this show a true standout is the quality of the guests, stories, and tactics. Luke finds guests that truly care about being a positive force in the dermatology space, and shares insights that only a true practitioner can unearth. Don't miss it!

Awesome podcast

I love this podcast! I tell everyone I know within my program as well as outside of my program about this podcast because it is so relevant to current clinical practice. It’s also very entertaining which I think is what it really sets it apart from the other Derm focused podcasts. Thanks so much for your hard work!

Dermatologists are funny!

I enjoy listening to the two hosts banter while reviewing articles. Because I’m a dermatologist, I enjoy their inside derm jokes (like dad jokes but better!) and it makes the time go by quickly. I always leave learning something that I can transfer to my practice. Thank you for putting this together!

Great Even for Medical Students

Even as a medical student interested in dermatology, this podcast is both high level and accessible. I learn the most recent research with the common and uncommon diseases. Highly recommend.
