ANATOPOD _ THE FIRST ANNIVERSARY

Well, on the first anniversary of launching ANATOPOD, it seems sensible to re-examine our goals.

 

I am heartened by the fact that there have been so many downloads across the world and not only that ANATOPOD is listened to in Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, Israel and India but also in Uganda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Moldova, Estonia, Poland, Uruguay, the Czech Republic, Iran, Jamaica, Sudan, Taiwan and Morocco. We have learned too what is important and for many of you it has been the osteology of the skull and its foraminae but also the fasciae and triangles of the neck, the prevertebral musculature and structure of the cervical plexus, the autonomic nervous system of the head and neck and the central relay stations of the brainstem and cranial nerves.

 

There is another Head and Neck Quiz (Number 4) coming up and then we shall move on to the anatomy of the upper limb in detail.

 

But I wish in this re-examination to invite our listeners and followers after a year to support us if you can through Podbean patreon contributing as much as you wish on a monthly basis so that I can get some better equipment and move ANATOPOD into a professional studio.

 

You can SUPPORT ANATOPOD at https://patron.podbean.com/ANATOPOD

 

Simple really. Once there pledge as much as you wish. I am most grateful for your contribution (and if you don’t wish to contribute that is perfectly fine too as ANATOPOD will still continue posting, there are NO premium sections in this podcast!).

 

So for the price of a cup of coffee (1-5$ a month) you are an ANATOPOD Affiliate and I will give you a shout out on the next podcast and on our monthly honour roll.

 

For $10 a month you become an ANATOPOD Guardian Angel and you can let me know what special topic you wish done as a podcast and I will do it. Anatomy, History of Anatomy, whatever you wish!

 

For 15$ (or more) a month you are an ANATOPOD Templar and I will send you an e-copy of my book The Figurative Life of the Cadaver on the history of dissection and also a copy of my upcoming book as a draft on the social impact of infectious disease.

 

Soon to be launched on this site too are the anecdotal stories of anatomy in The Anatomy Cupboard – Tales for the Top Shelf. These vignettes will appear once a month and I am sure you will enjoy them.

 

Thanks again for your support and for listening!

 

 

Best Andrew
