Hosted by Roberto Pecoits-Filho, ISN Education Working Group Chair this special episode is a discussion on IgA nephropathy with Dana Rizik of UAB Birmingham and Dana Larsen of UCSF of San Francisco. The idea behind a podcrawl is for a variety of podcasts to coordinate on timing and topic to push a theme and get each other’s listeners to explore all of the podcasts. One of the first goals behind NephMadness was to build a community and in the early years of Twitter, NephMadness was central to the formation of #NephTwitter and defining the ethos that makes our online community kind, intelligent, vibrant, and interesting. The NephMadness Podcrawl hopes to inspire and grow the nephrology podcast community in the same way. This year along with the Global Kidney Care Podcast the following series will participate: The Curbsiders gets the skinny on mineralcorticoid receptor antagonistsCore IM will be covering Kidney Transplant in their classic Five Pearl formatThe CardioNerds will be covering the effect of Heart Failure Devices on Kidney HealthFreely Filtered will try to understand thrombotic microangiopathyThe Cribsiders look at transitions, first the Peditrics to Adult nephrology transition and then from living to death with palliative nephrology Fellow on Call will be covering OnconephrologyThe Nephron Segment looks at Transgender Health and CKD8 podcasts in all one for each region in this year’s NephMadnessGo to NephMadness.com/podcrawl to get links to all of the shows
