PoisonBoy Podcast

We are back beaches! PoisonBoy is joined by the Copperhead Kid and Flygirl as we break down all the dangers and adventures waiting for you at the beach!

The gang has a real mystery to solve when a young boy turns up with a bizarre set of symptoms and an unusual addiction. Mothballs, methemoglobin, Takis Fuego chips, diarrhea - this one has it all.

The Boys wax poetic in the end days of the coronapocalypse. CYANIDE - the word alone conjures up myths and witchcraft and murder and mass suicide. What is this stuff? Is it all bad? Is a little bit of cyanide good for me? Will it make me virile? Will it make my hair grow? Will it kill me?

The PoisonBoy posse is back - this time we stay in our own backyard and address the question on everyone's mind - just what do the Kardashians and crotalidae snakes have in common?

In a world where logic and reason have locked the shop, packed up and headed off the grid, PoisonBoy and the Safety Rangers ride back into town as guardians of the old global zeitgeist. We are bringing it back to basics to close out the workup of the Immaculate Ingestion. Don't miss this big old blanket of intellectual comfort in a mad, mad, mad, mad world.

The Team takes a ride in the Wayback Machine to just a couple of weeks ago when the world was a different and less bizarre place.

Must-listen content for all medical students, residents and the bi-curious.

Just in time for the new Black Widow movie, PoisonBoy, the Copperhead Kid and the Pope of Myrtle Beach break it all down for you. Who are these black widows? Why are they so angry? Is there some way to prevent them from biting your head off after sex? What about antivenom? Wouldn't an antispider product make more sense? If a black widow bites me is there any chance I might develop the ability to climb walls and shoot webs from my armpits? These and other pressing questions answered right here.
