About the show
Two doctors. Too many books.
Bedside manner, not lecture hall.
Rx TBR is a book podcast and videocast from a breast radiologist and a breast medical oncologist. Their days are spent with patients at some of the hardest moments of their lives. Their nights are spent with a book.
Every episode they bring that same mix of care and candor to what they're reading: the BookTok hits, the literary heavyweights, the comfort reads, and the occasional book that made them better doctors. Expect honest takes, a few clinical puns, and a prescription you can actually fill at your library.
About the name
Rx is the prescription. TBR is every reader's "to be read" pile. Look closely at the logo: the spines of the stack spell the name.
