Convincing people to save their own lives through public health measures sounds like it should be easy but this smart podcast shows how hard it can be, whether it’s smallpox or COVID. My favorite parts are when Dr. Gounder weaves in information about her experience treating patients during the peak of the pandemic.
This is the podcast that I tell all my friends about! With incredible guests, high-quality information, and captivating conversations, every single episode is an A . Highly recommend!

This is a great podcast if you want to get beyond the headlines and exhortations. Researchers with experience talking in a way that is clear for anyone to understand, and implications for the future as we sidle up with Covid for the long run.
