CodePeriwinkle

1. What is #CodePeriwinkle? Satirical audio sketch comedy for medicine created by... you, at least that's the goal ;) Think of it like John Oliver (or the Colbert Report) meets SNL meets Grey's Anatomy...but in a podcast ⬇️ Continued Below ⬇️

@vincefromdelhi was this you?

Proposal to #Ohio State Medical Board for including @Browns @Bengals Fans Syndrome as a qualifying condition for medical #cannabis recommendations.... med.ohio.gov/Portals/0/Publi…

This book did not age well.

laughsatives.wordpress.com Created special for a pending collaboration between @tomdelonge’s @ToTheStarsMedia and @orthobullets

What can I say? I just hope @DGlaucomflecken can handle it and that it doesn't injure the chance he (or the other @GomerBlog peeps) will open the email I just sent. 👊

9. How do I sponsor this show? If you want to be the "Official Toothpaste of Medical Students", you have to agree to let us write the promo (or crowdsource it from a poor med student, who would be compensated in this scenario) which may or may not poke fun at your group.

8. How do I find my inspiration? @GomerBlog articles are a good starting place. @ZDoggMD's @DocVaderMD & @LGlaucomflecken are funny. Her husband @DGlaucomflecken is mildly to moderately funny as well.

7. What's the best next step in the management of this podcast? Contact us if you want to be a writer, "voice actor", design art, sing a song parody, be an "idea person", host episodes, run our social media etc. What this show looks like is up to all who help create it.

6. Will I get paid for my contribution? Our CEO doesn't even get paid, so probably not. We'll give you credit of course. If we do achieve the ability to compensate contributors, sorry attendings, but you'll be last on the list after we figure out how to pay medical students.

5. Why? Because we believe creativity is at least a 2nd line treatment for burn out, and we're a podcasting company founded by doctors. Why wouldn't we offer an avenue for creative expression to colleagues who don't have the time to make their own podcast?

4. What topics are your shows about? The absurdities of modern health care, especially within the profession of medicine and medical education (shout out to the #medstudents). We might put specific topics in the Twitter bio, so check that periodically.

3. What material are you looking for? Anything funny and r/t #medicine: social media accounts, memes, absurd news, scripts or ideas for sketches, fake #USMLE Q's or ads. Hell, we'll even take knock-knock jokes. None of us has time to make this show....but all of us might ;)

2. How does it work? We write stuff. You write stuff. We create material as a community, then we'll turn it into a podcast episode. Just email or tag us, or use #CodePeriwinkle to get our attention. We'll give you credit on the show.

A podcast created for doctors by at least one other doctor and a med student. And hopefully you too…send us your funny shit because we are all way too busy to create something this cool on our own.
