@sturdyalex.bsky.social Hi Alex, enjoy Quiet Riot and listen every week. I'm a resident doctor and wanted to share some of my views that hopefully are informative as I feel they represent the average striking doctor currently.

I was listening to Emma Barnett being rude to a teacher on the Today programme when I remembered it was @quietriotpod.bsky.social Thursday so Emma and Justin can do one!

Henry Morris always a great guest!

Have sent to Susan Hall a photo of my Gingerbread HMO so she can urgently denigrate.

"As far as Donald Trump is concerned, global security is a protection racket and everyone is going to have to pay more."

Stunning interview with Europe security expert, formerly at the State Dept and NATO, Dr Terra.

Clearest explanation of Trump's (very confused) new global manifesto.
