New Year, New Me: Invitation To Book 1-To-1 Interview Slots & Looking Back At 2022
We're now accepting 1-To-1 interview bookings for January 2023 and taking a moment to look back at 2022
Happy New Year Eve RadCasters!
How time flies when you’re having fun and lo and behold, another year has come and gone. We’ve defied the odds and managed to survive (somewhat). As the year comes to a close, it provides a perfect opportunity to take a moment to stop, smell the roses and reflect on the year as a whole. But before we bore you with the melodramatic stuff, we’re pleased to announce that we’re now taking bookings for our 1-to-1 interview sessions in January 2023.
Now, you can see our availability for January 2023 via the button below. But you’ll notice that the sessions available (in green) are quite limited. We’ve done that purposely since we advise candidates to wait till they’ve been shortlisted for an interview. In fact, we weren’t going to do any interview sessions during January but we’ve been inundated with requests for sessions now, or immediately after you’ve sat your MSRA, so we’ve decided to release some slots over the January period. At the end of the day, if preparing in advance is your thing then you may find benefit from these earlier sessions. But of course, that’s entirely up to you and there is no pressure from us if you want to wait till you’ve been shortlisted for an interview.
With regards to booking, the process is quite simple:
Look at our interview availability spreadsheet via the button below.
Identify what available slots match your preferred time/date (these are the ones in green).
Email us at hello@radcast.co.uk stating your name, the bundle you want (details below) and what slots you want. Please note, it’ll be first come, first served so let us know asap.
We will email back saying that your spot has been provisionally reserved.
We’ll send you the payment details and once cleared, we’ll confirm your booking.
We’ll send you the invite for your booked session.
On the topic of the interview format, it’ll be done over MS Teams (like the real thing) and we’ll do a mock run of the interview (based off the format of the previous years). Once you’ve answered the questions, we’ll then give you detailed, personalised feedback to help polish your interview technique and answers. Of course, we can use the session to also troubleshoot any questions you may have too.
With regards to the price, we’re going to follow a similar format that we used last year. Specifically, the pricing of the sessions will be as below. Please note, we’ll only provide a refund for cancellations made 24 hours prior to the scheduled interview slot. We’ve been inundated with requests for interviews this year so we want to make sure that as many candidates can get a 1-to-1 interview session with us.

Reflecting On 2022, The RadCast Way
Since we started RadCast, it feels like we've been running at 100mph constantly exploring new opportunities to expand on our mission of promoting Radiology. As a result, we have hardly had taken time to reflect on our accomplishments. As we near the end of 2022, this provides the perfect opportunity to take stock of what we've achieved and to thank you for being with us along the way.
The RadCast podcast series is what started our journey and remains at the core of what we do. In November of this year, we released our 50th episode which coincided nicely with our 50,000th listener…not bad for a niche Radiology podcast! We love being able to shine a spotlight on all the amazing people/developments in radiology and are truly humbled for every guest that agrees to share their story with us. From podcasts looking at the role of gamification in medicine to exploring the intersection between medicine and venture capital, we are always taken aback by the sheer talent out there. Going forward, we've got some fascinating podcasts lined up which we're super excited to share with you.
Whilst podcasts may be our bread-and-butter, we’ve been working hard on finding ways to 1) help as many of you get into a career in radiology, 2) make learning about radiology not a chore and 3) make radiology more fun. Our first creation was our Clinical Radiology Application course which continues to go from strength-to-strength and this year, we're proud to be supporting our largest cohort of candidates ever. We also ran the 2nd iteration of our Radiology Crash Course in September, delivering much needed teaching on image interpretation skills to non-radiologist healthcare professionals. But one of our proudest achievements this year was launching the Roentgen Competition, the first radiological anatomy competition for medical students and junior doctors. This idea was such a no-brainer we were amazed it hadn’t been done before! Over 100 candidates, scattered across the globe from India to South Africa, sat the exam in August and it was a resounding success. We're now getting ready for Roentgen V2 and look forward to inviting more candidates to see if they have the skills to pay the bills when it comes to knowledge on radiology anatomy.
Finally, when we first fleshed out the premise of RadCast on the floor of Uzoma's flat eating a Tesco meal deal, we never thought of winning any accolades. That's why we were shocked to find out that this year, we had won the "Unsung Hero In Radiology" award and more recently, have had one of our podcasts nominated for AuntMinnie's best scientific paper or podcast of the year. Whilst we are honoured by the recognition, we want to close this reflection by giving a shout out to you, the real MVPs. From the bottom of our vitamin D deficient hearts, thank you for tuning in to our podcasts every month, tolerating our lame jokes in our newsletters and for spreading the word about us to others. Truly, you are all the true OG’s and we cannot thank you enough.
So, whilst 2022 has been a rollercoaster of a ride for us at RadCast HQ, we can’t wait to show you what we have in store for you in 2023. Honestly, it’s going to be a banger and we’re thrilled to know you’ll be there with us for the ride.
Here's to 2023!
From Uzoma, Jamie and Muhammad
Your go-to radiology pals for 2022 and for 2023 :)
