In our third episode, we bring you a very special interview with your one and only ICSM Students' Union! Hosted by our Events Editor Adil Ali, the gang covers all the topics that have been on every medic’s mind lately (circa Dec 6th 2020). From vaccines and UKFPO controversies to ‘snakey’ medic culture and how the ICSMSU President really feels about Adil’s choice (/quarter-life crisis?) of sporting a goatee – this episode has it all!
