  • Great podcast for learning about public health

    I was tasked with listening to an episode for my Foundations in Global Health class at UC Berkeley. I didn’t really know what to expect, but the episodes were really engaging and have a lot of excellent guests from leaders in the public health field. It’s nicely produced and the YouTube episodes are also nice. Not sure why this podcast doesn’t have more reviews/views across platforms, but I’ll continue to listen to it!
