We Need to Teabrief – A Comedic and Cathartic Med Podcast

iebpharma108

Say hello to Bells, Nikki and Noa; three medical students who come together to drink tea and debrief over the week that was - or, TeaBrief. Join them every Monday fortnight as they vent, laugh and cry over all things life and med school. Subscribe and follow wherever you get your podcasts.

We sat down for a cuppa and a chat with the team to hear all about their up and coming podcast.

How did the podcast come about?
Nikki: It’s a funny story. I was in hotel quarantine and Bells and I were venting about med and our weeks. We couldn’t stop laughing and cringing over the stories we were telling IEB Pharma each other, and we thought, ‘we should make a podcast!’ This was at 10:00pm and we were very delirious at this point, so naturally we decided to get Noa in on it as well.



We called her up and she was not impressed. But she basically said ‘okay, fine, as long as you guys do most of the work.’

Noa: We found that we were having conversationst amongst ourselves anyway. A lot of the conversations were not ones that you typically have in the open, and that you would broadcast, but they're really important conversations to be had. We thought normalising these conversations would help others realise that the highs and low they experienced at placement was really... normal.

Has TeaBriefing been helpful?
Nikita:  Debriefing with med students about what happens on placement is so important in the sense that it reminds us that we’re not alone in our experiences. It's shared, we're all going through the same things together and we're venting about it while being a bit vulnerable. And if we’re vulnerable with each other and ultimately our listeners, maybe they’ll know that it's okay to be vulnerable as well.

Bem, numa noite silenciosa acabei a navegar sem rumo e encontrei algo que tinha guardado por curiosidade, gostei dos bónus claros para jogadores de Portugal e entrei sem criar expectativas, comecei no Book of Dead e perdi várias rondas seguidas, quando mudei a abordagem e subi a aposta no highflybet app veio um prémio grande que compensou tudo, a sensação foi de surpresa boa e fechei positivo.
