Kiri Pritchard-McLean in new podcast 'Best Medicine'

Listen to Kiri on 'Best Medicine' – Available NOW wherever you get your podcasts, Tuesdays at 6:30pm on BBC Radio 4 for 11 weeks starting tonight.

Best Medicine is your weekly dose of laughter, hope and incredible medicine. Award-winning comedian Kiri Pritchard-McLean is joined by funny and fascinating comedians, doctors, scientists, and historians to celebrate medicine’s inspiring past, present and future.

Each week Kiri challenges her guests to make a case for what they think is 'the best medicine', and each of them champions anything from world-changing science, an obscure invention, an every-day treatment, an uplifting worldview, an unsung hero or a futuristic cure.

Whether it’s micro-robotic surgery, virtual reality syringes, Victorian clockwork surgical saws, more than a few ingenious cures for cancer, world-first lifesaving heart operations, epidurals, therapy, dancing, faith or laughter - it’s always something worth celebrating.
