When Dr. Karim Ladak started recording his lectures during the pandemic, he wasn’t trying to build a global audience; he just wanted to give his students a reliable, on-demand way to learn.
What happened next was completely unexpected, even for him.
With a mix of clear lecture delivery, “Quiz Time” segments, and expert-level breakdowns of complex conditions, Rheumatology for the Royal College struck a chord. Medical professionals weren’t just listening—they were assigning the podcast to their own students.
After helping him get off to a quick start with a successful launch, we partnered with Dr. Ladak to take production off his plate. We handle editing, sound design, and publishing across all major platforms so he can count on consistently polished audio, episode after episode.
Whether he records a flurry of lectures or drops an episode mid-semester, we flex with his schedule and make sure the final product always hits the mark.
Since launching in 2020, the podcast has released 18 hour-long episodes, reached listeners across five continents, and earned a top 1% global ranking. It’s not just popular; it’s a highly respected resource in the field.
The show’s impact was also highlighted at the 2024 EULAR Congress, in a study examining how digital learning tools are reshaping medical education.
What started as a simple side project has become a staple for medical students and professionals worldwide. And at the heart of it is one professor with a mic, all supported by our team behind the scenes.
“After interviewing and sampling the work of numerous audio engineers, I chose to work with Alex in 2020—and he’s been an essential part of my podcast ever since. The sound quality is consistently great, he listens through everything twice to catch any errors, and he handles my many requests without complaint.
I take a lot of pride in my production, so finding the right fit was important to me. Even beyond the audio quality, what stands out most is my interactions with Alex—he’s always available for a call, is consistently friendly and easy to work with. Being someone who isn’t particularly tech-savvy, that kind of support has been invaluable to me.”
