I talk to Francois Simon from Necker-Enfants Malades hospital in Paris about endoscopic ear surgery in children
I finally seem to have worked out how to record properly using Zoom

in the first of the second series we discuss techniques of examination of children with ENT problems in outpatients. This is a topic I find occasionally quite challenging and it is not something that is discussed and taught as much as more surgical aspects of paediatric ENT

I'm joined by David Albert (GOSH), Mike Kuo (Birmingham Children's Hospital) and Neil Bateman (Manchester Children's Hospital) for the discussion. It was recorded in Neil's kitchen in Sheffield towards the end of 2021 after a long day teaching at an emergency airway course in Doncaster. 

Apologies for the noise and the excessive giggling. The soundtrack is, as ever, contributed to by Maisie the BAPO dog.

Mike Kuo from Birmingham Children's Hospital talks about indications technique and post op care of paediatric tracheostomies. 
- Mike becomes the first guest to play his own intro music !

 Michelle Wyatt from GOSH and Dan Tweedie from the Evalina discuss syndromes that are of relevance to the paediatric ENT surgeon. For this episode the emphasis is on airway problems rather than hearing problems.
includes discussion of Downs syndrome, Treacher Collins syndrome, Goldenhar syndrome, Carouzon and Apert syndromes and achondroplasia.

the first road trip for the BAPO podcast as I travel up to London to speak to Michelle Wyatt from GOSH and Dan Tweedie from the Evalina Hosptial. We talk about tonsillectomy, particularly intracapsular coblation, about their favourite ENT operations and we also have a  new 1980s funk-style intro tune. 
Maisie the BAPO dog is now well established as the continuity announcer.

Liz Midgley is head of paediatric audiology in Bristol and a former chair of the British Society of Audiologists. We discuss what tests are used at different ages and how they are done.

Steve Broomfield from Bristol talks about bone anchored hearing devices, the cleaner comes in to empty the bin and Maisie the BAPO dog makes another appearance

Neil Bateman from Manchester Childrens hospital joins me for our first try at a BAPO podcast for trainees. The sound recording on this one is not great as we were using Zoom and my voice is quite distorted. I had to edit this quite hard with recording software to make it even vaguely bearable. Next time WILL be better I promise!

Neil Batemam from Manchester Children's hosptial and I talk about paediatric airway endsocopy, Maisie the dog made an early contribution but I decided to leave it in
