***Q&A with the creator***

What inspired you to create this podcast?

I was born in Romania and spent most of my childhood there, but my family immigrated to Canada before I had a chance to learn Romanian history in school. More than a decade later, I wanted to really understand the cultural legacies carried by my family as well as the experiences of the individuals and communities from that little part of the world from which I came. With my love of narrative history podcasts, I decided to create one of my own to share these stories with the wider world in English.

How long did it take you to make the podcast?

I spent eight months researching for the first season before writing the first episode, and I continued to do research as I produced each episode. On average, it takes me about 20 hours of work every week to research, write, edit, record, mix, and publish new episodes—more if I have to draw maps too. It takes a lot of time, but I want to deliver a polished product every time so that people don’t have to think about the craft behind it and can simply enjoy a well-told story.

What are some of your other projects?

I also write short stories and have been published in yolk literary magazine in Montreal. Whenever I have spare time, I do creative writing, and I’ll share stories in the future for those who are interested.

Where can listeners learn more about you?

I put all of the podcast’s related resources on its website: http://www.ahistoryofromania.com/

Extra content that doesn’t make it into the episodes goes on the Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/people/A-history-of-Romania/61556881212545/) and will also be shared on Bluesky in the future (https://bsky.app/profile/ahistoryofromania.bsky.social).

Medical Humanities | Part 5 of 5 | HOLLYWOOD Medical Mysteries: Top 5 Medical Myths in Movies and TV Shows

Are you enjoying the “Medical Humanities Podcast”?  If so, then please thank the creator, Eve Elliot, by supporting her on Patreon (patreon.com/evesgardencomfortaudio) or gifting her a one-time tip of appreciation (buymeacoffee.com/eveelliot).

The Top 5 Medical Myths in this episode include:

  • Surviving Bomb Blasts
  • Falling into Water
  • Being Knocked Out
  • Childbirth
  • Cardiac Emergencies

***Q&A with Eve Elliot***

What inspired you to create this podcast?

I’m a writer and professional voiceover artist, but at one time I was on the path to medical school. My fascination with medicine and my love of history, literature, and art seemed very disparate at first, until I discovered the wonderful world of medical humanities. I love delving into the medical aspects of historical events and figures, or how medical science often intersects with art and literature.

How long did it take you to make the podcast?

Each episode takes several days to research, write, and produce.  My average is about a week from start to finish, although some episodes can take much longer, depending on the amount of research involved.

What are some of your other projects?

I am currently completing a romance novel with the help of Patreon supporters (at patreon.com/eve_elliot) and I also create and record soothing comfort audios to help listeners relax, de-stress and sleep, narrate gentle audiobooks like Emma, by Jane Austen, and perform classic short stories (at patreon.com/evesgardencomfortaudio)

Where can listeners learn more about you?

I can be found on my podcasts: The Medical Humanities Podcast, Eve’s Garden Comfort Audio and Stories in Sound.  I’m also on YouTube, Twitter (@EveElliot3), Instagram (@Authoreveelliot), or my website (eveelliot.com).
