About this listen

In this fun and enlightening episode of Germs & Jargon, we’re flipping the script in our brand-new Science Swap format! Jonathan, your curious layman host, takes a shot at explaining one of the most pressing issues in modern medicine: antibiotic resistance.

How close can he get to the real science? Enter Dr. Miller—our resident microbiologist and infectious disease expert—who will grade, correct, and clarify the explanation while dropping real, research-backed insights.

Expect laughs, learning, and a few science stumbles along the way as we explore:

  • What causes antibiotic resistance?

  • Why it’s a global health threat

  • Misconceptions about antibiotics

  • How we can all help slow resistance

If you’ve ever wondered what “superbugs” are or why your doctor won’t always prescribe antibiotics, this episode is for you.
